    "Cromwell sent twenty thousand Irish boys and girls into slavery in the Virginian Colonies and the West Indies. (On one or two of the Islands of the West Indies, up to nearly a century ago, it is related, the negroes still spoke Gaelic.) The merchants of Bristol, ever enterprising, and prompt to profit by a good opening, did a brisk business in Irish slaves then and later for the transatlantic markets-entering into formal legal contracts for the worthy purpose. Prendergast in his Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland names four Bristol merchants who were the most active of the slave trading agents." (Ireland's Case - Seumas MacManus - 1918 New York. The Irish Publishing Qt.) "A third group were the Irish. For centuries, Ireland had been something of a special case in English colonial history. From the Anglo-Normans onwards, the Irish were dehumanised, described as savages, so making their murder and displacement appear all the more justified. The colonisation of Ireland provided experience and drive for experiments further afield, not to mention large numbers of workers, coerced, transported or persuaded. Under Oliver Cromwell’s ethnic-cleansing policy in Ireland, unknown numbers of Catholic men, women and children were forcibly transported to the colonies. And it did not end with Cromwell; for at least another hundred years, forced transportation continued as a fact of life in Ireland." (WHITE CARGO The Forgotten History of Britain’s White Slaves in America. by DON JORDAN and MICHAEL WALSH) Greetings from Brazil.

    I spent a significant amount of time in the Bahamas (four years) and traveled to and stayed on most of the islands. With my background in Anthropology, I feel compelled to share my observations. I noticed a considerable number of individuals with distinctive features such as prognathism, micrognathia, epicanthal folds, maxillary deficiency, and cleft palate. These characteristics suggest a limited gene pool on the islands, potentially pointing to an incestuous history. In my studies, I found that the prevalence of these facial deformities in the Bahamas was higher than anywhere else I have observed in the world.

      Fabulous talk, rare to find narratives that thread the needle in such a nuanced and grounded/measured way. This expands and complicates understandings of race, slavery, exploitation, and colonialism and provides insights into the canibalistic mechanistisms of these institutions. Subscribed, looking forward to more talks from different authors in the same vein.Thanks much!
