Piqued my interest as a topic I knew little about but felt I should know more.  I should have run this one by a social studies teacher first as some of the language and terms are clashing with my prior conceptions (did I miss it or early on does he suggest Egypt was not African?).  Illuminating in its scope, revealing the that slavery has been the norm historically and globally rather than the exception.  I'm going to park this one until I get a thumbs up or down from a history teacher. 

Bailed after talking to Brian E.  who didn't recognize the author or text.
