SLAVE
AND CITIZEN
Tennenbaum who is a well known author of his famous book ``Slave and Citizen``
and in this book, he discussed the inequalities and also he talked about the injustice occur to the black civilians of United States. One of
the claims that Tannenbaum mentioned in his book, which i found problematic was
that in Brazil, the Negro were treated better in different aspects just like in
cultural ,religious and role in social
life while the situation in United states was totally different. They were
treated colored people way different just like animals. They deprived United
states colored people from social activities, and banned them from religious
values. In short the colored people were denied to everything. The author of the
book provide an example from one of Freyre quotes from Ewbank, in which he
stated that ``i have passed black ladies in silks and jewelry, with male slaved in livery behind them......province.``
In Tannenbaum
book `Slave and Citizen` another thing which i found was quite racist is that people
on other side of the world including Spanish and Portuguese where slave were
treated as human and where they believe that all men are created equal
according to religious believes while white says that the slave in United
States are animals and have no rights to live as human. while people in other side of America were able to
buy their own freedom gradually and slowly to work for their masters and pay
his freedom but in United States, under no situation, Slave could be free.
which was different in Spanish system.
