DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nThe Other Slavery\n\nICSS member 
 Elazar Friedman provides us his review of The Other Slavery: The Uncovered 
 Story of Indian Enslavement in America (by Andrés Reséndez, 2016). As the 
 LA Times remarked, “To think about the enslavement of Indians over the 
 last 500 years can help us think about the ways in which people are 
 enslaved today.”\n\n   Elazar writes: The received wisdom of US /Canadian 
 scholarship on the decimation of Native Americans is as bad as the Spanish, 
 Portuguese and later the English were the near extermination of the 
 indigenous peoples was caused by  diseases harbored by Europeans against 
 which the indigenous peoples had no immunity. \n\n   It was no ones fault, 
 That is a " no harm no foul" approach to colonization .\n   \n   Those 
 bourgeois scholars that give import to slavery cite pre-existing indigenous 
 slavery but do not show how European slave traffic reconfigured this 
 autochthonous slavery into the more pernicious mercantile capitalist 
 slavery as does Resendez.\n\n   The talk will cover a portion of his book 
 on the Caribbean debacle, North America, and the interwoven Mexican 
 slavery.\n\n   I will not cover Central and South America except 
 tangentially.\n\n   Two other books will provide background for the 
 Resendez reprise to whit, A merican Holocaust by David E  Stannard and 
 Ward Churchill's A  Little Matter of Genocide.\n\n   My goal is to 
 demonstrate the integral relationship between the Native American slavery 
 and Black slavery in the US.\n\nSun, Sept 24, 2017 – 
 10:30am-12:30pm\n6501 Telegraph Ave, Oakland (just North of Alcatraz 
 Ave.)\n\nFREE - but hat will be passed for donations to ICSS\n\nAbout

 by our respect for the work of Karl Marx and our belief that his work will 
 remain as important for the class struggles of the future as they have been
