CHAPTER

The Real History of Slavery

The Real History of Slavery by Thomas Seoul is the first essay to be subject to a debate on this podcast. We face a stark choice: Do we view our own history of slavery with a sense of shame and embarrassment as many contemporary intellectuals would like us to do?
