Yes -- its another WHOLE region of suppressed racial and slave history - one even I was unaware of!
You've read and been demoralized by Hoffmann's THEY WERE WHITE AND THEY WERE SLAVES -- but that was IIRC only about the brutality of whites enslaving whites in the New World He comes an illustrated premise that millions more whites were kidnapped by Barbary pirate types and enslaved in AFRICA.
I wish there were comments debunking this but they're all positive -- including some from blax! The useful aspect is the obvious pregnant ironies that could do the black slave psychosis irreparable damage if only they could become known.
