Lhe slave trade and slavery were the first economic system organized around the forced transportation of populations and legal assassination on the grounds of freedom, for marronnage. This system lasted for Europe for more than four centuries, for France for more than two centuries. It is not a question of moping or mortifying oneself, but of learning to know and respect the history forged in suffering. To apprehend the impulses of life which allowed these millions of people reduced to the state of work animals to resist or simply to survive. It is about understanding this first globalization which generated lasting relationships between three and then four continents. These events must be taught, so that we know that there was, from the first times, resistance on the spot and transcontinental solidarity. Let us question this history so that the younger generations can detect the links between ordinary racism and its sources in time and that they understand that the republic needs their vigilance. Let us choose an education which prepares for otherness and which bears the imprint of truth, justice, fraternity. Trafficking and exploitation of human beings, colonization, struggles for freedom, reflection on the concept of crime against humanity, contemporary forms of slavery. A committed mother answers her daughter's many questions. From this dialogue has been built, over the astonishment, indignation and admiration, a book as fascinating as necessary.
