Exploring the connections between language and slavery, this book traces the historical journey from the Portuguese enslavement of Africans to representations in Shakespeare's works and culminates in President Obama's reflections on "modern slavery." It combines detailed textual analysis with broader cultural context, providing fresh perspectives on themes of otherness, rhetoric, and stereotyping throughout history.
