American Slavery a Cousing to Apartheid South AfricaBy KakarambaMy Bondage and My FreedomIt is startling that the experiences that Douglass refers to are exactly the same as what we experienced during apartheid here in South Africa. The life he relates to is not different from how the system here treated Blacks; as objects of cheap labour - only useful as long as they can work and not beyond. The deprivation of one's workers (or slaves) of as important a human needs as food; proper habitation and other basic natural rights are all distinguishing features of the two barbaric systems. Having read about slavery; and having experienced its cousin - apartheid; I have little doubt that architects of the latter were inspired by the former. The book also highlights the hypocrisy of perpetrators of both system in that there was a lot of justification of the two systems based on religion - Christianity. Encouraging though is the fact that we down here in the southern tip of Africa can draw a lot of inspiration from this great man. His writings tell me that with determination; we too can uproot the residue of the brutal system that has taken us back by so many decades.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
