Slavery This page is quantitatively the largest in our presentation. This is due to the priority we have accorded documents relevant to the subject of slavery in keeping with the UN decision to declare 2004 the Year of the commemoration of the struggle against, and the abolition of, slavery. Approximately one hundred of the documents printed, which consists of thousands of digitally reproduced pages. The majority of documents presented here date to the 18th century, although there are also a large number of 19th century texts. The majority of documents are available for viewing upon request. The question of the trait of negritude and its abolition and the emancipation of slaves is the focus of these documents. Contained herein there are two works written by slaves: R6flexions surla traite et I'esclavage by the Negros of Cugoano and Le More Lack. The Cugoano work, and the Manuel de flagellation des femmes esclaves, attracted the attention of the National Presses of the Republic of Haiti, which, in the year of the bicentennial, decided to reprint the texts.You will also find on this page several texts by the Abbot Gregoire, known for his work in favour of the abolition of slavery. Lastly, a manuscript by Louis Joseph Janvier concerning Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jaques Dessalines has been presented for your use. Lavant Neg nwe Lavant Neg nwe, se nam ekonomi plantasyon danre. Li kontinye komes angaje nan 17em ak komansman 18em syek-la epi li pran vol e deplwaye k6-1 kou youn nan branch komes ki pi enpotan pandan dezyem mwatye 18em syek-la. An konsekans, pou moun k ap achte e moun k ap vann moun sou mache-a, trafik Neg nwe se you trafik kretyen ann aparans selman. A laverite, se trafik fos travaye-a, pa plis. Pou li debarase fos-la ak tou sa k jennen ni, Blan-an imajine Neg nwe kou you kretyen a lanve, kou tou sa you moun pa ye, ni pa dwe ye. Nan 18em syek-la, lavant Neg nwe ka mete, sou plas mache-a, kantite bra, ekonomi plantasyon-an made. Kon sa, plante-yo alez pou elimine tout move mes ak move dispozisyon ki ta ka diminye rannman biznis- yo e ki ta ka anpeche fos travay y ap itilize-a vin preske san defo. Kreyati y ap eseye pwodui-a, ki pa Iwen sanble model wobo, teknoloji alekile ap fe-a, se sa yo rele you Neg kreyol oubyen you Afriken "kreyolize". Kom plante-yo an dwa voye travaye-yo jete epi ranplase yo le yo vie, maspinay ak malveyans tounen program devlopman "resous imen" pi La Traite des Noirs La Traite des Noirs est I'epine dorsale de I'economie de plantation. Elle a pour antecedent le commerce des engages durant le XVIIle siecle et les debuts du XVIIle... Pour acheteurs et vendeurs, la Traite des Noirs n'est donc qu'en apparence un commerce d'6tre human. En fait, il s'agit d'un commerce intensif de force de travail pure, ce qui s'obtient en faisant du Noir la negation m6me de I'6tre human : celui qui est tout ce qu'une personnel n'est pas et ne doit pas 6tre. Dans la plantation de denrees du XVIIle siecle, I'offre de resources humaines par la Traite etant presque illimitee, le planteur peut avec patience emonder toute mauvaise habitude ou disposition tendant a diminuer sa productivity, de fagon a computer sur ces travailleurs parfaits. Cette creature impeccable, precurseur du robot contemporain, est mieux connue comme un esclave creole ou un Africain "creolise". Les travailleurs etant "jetables" et remplagables a souhait, la torture devient le plus efficace et le plus economique des programmes de developpement des resourcess humaines".
