write a well-structured essay, analyze and articulate the core concepts of slavery, including its manifestations in North America and the Caribbean. Recognize and distinguish critical events in periods of slavery that have highlighted the holocaust of slavery in various societies. Critically discuss the intersectionality of capitalism and slavery, and the “value” and “disposability” of “Blackness” by Western nations.

Finally, synthesize the core concepts of slavery in the New World and its impact on people derived from the institution. Your essay should incorporate 3-5 resources from the texts used in class and demonstrate a deep understanding of the legacy of slavery, including institutional racism, racialization, oppression, institutional discrimination, colonization, and how it impacts society today. Use sources from the books “a map to the door of no return”, “The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa”, “The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fano” and Interpreting African-American History.
