I would love to see slavery discussed more in our classes.
After all, slavery is a very western concept...we created it... I think we should be the one fighting it..since we can still see the same symbolic universe applied to some western jobs...And actually, slavery in prostitution and manufacturing is still very widespread.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
It is not Western-only. Don't forget the Eastern route to Arabian countries, for example. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Actually, there are also other cases in the Amazonia..a s far as I think I remember (I am not sure, in a word). Or int he ancient world with different connotations.
But, very relevant point, a general notion of slavery can be found in other places and time frames.
