Welcome to today’s episode, “Rethinking the Slavery Blame-Game: Africans, Eurocentrism, and Historical Truth.”
In this conversation, the focus is on one tough question: who bears responsibility for the Atlantic slave trade, and how has history tried to push most of the blame onto Africans themselves?
This episode engages with the ideas of Professor Kwabena Akurang‑Parry, a distinguished scholar of Africana Studies and World History, who wrote a powerful rejoinder to journalist Enimil Ashon and to Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. on slavery, blame, and reparations.
The aim is not to deny African participation in the Atlantic slave trade, but to challenge lazy narratives that make Africans the main culprits while minimizing European and American responsibility and erasing African resistance.
