An enjoyable lecture on the topic of slavery and slave trade in the Indian Ocean (and the tyranny of the particular). Very enlightening about the global dimensions of European slave trading and its connections with the "Atlantic World." At the moment, I am currently interested in the captives from the Indian Ocean who were brought to Saint Domingue (Haiti) on French slave ships. Learning more about the "Mozambiques," "Malagasy" and "Indiens" sold into slavery in the Mascarenes and its relationship to the larger context of the French slave trade have been very informative.
