| Research Abstract |
1)Slavery and modern civic values : Slave trade and slavery itself were backed by the principles of freedom of business and sanctity of property and, more broadly, the modern world system itself of which the nation state and the market economy were the two main cornerstones. Although modern civil society and its ethos of equality were turning more and more relevant as bolstering subsystem of the most advanced nation states, the same ethos was to be applied only to the members ; and the slaves were not. In due course the abolitionist leaders were heretics to the contemporary mainstream mind. 2)Slavery on the spot : Brazil and the Caribbean islands represented the dynamic model of the New World slavery, according to which the planters refilled his stock of slaves not by reproduction but by new imports lopsided in gender. Under this model, the maroons got away and the second-generation Creole slaves, sexually select, were in full activity outside the plantations. On the other hand, in North America, although the ethos of civic equality, full-fledged there, inhibited the South-American survival-of-the-fittest-expendable model, the same ethos, on the other hand, led to a more clearly defined legal distinction between the free and the unfree, which resulted in the harsher race relations today. 3)Past slave trade and the modern subaltern labor importation : Both of them gave and will give birth to a group that, though soon permanently settled in the host society and their loyalty to the homeland is more and more dubious, all the more toughly refuse assimilation to the host society's culture and religion. The groups that this process will engender a final result will be very similar to the African-American in the United States today.
