Document Summary
The big question how do you represent that in some ways are not representable. How do you engage with the violent narrative in a respectful way. The whole european economy is built on the trade. It"s not just a add on this is what is foundation to the emergence of modern europe. This is the time where insurance is invented because of the slave trade. Body of water and the time of the water. Think of it conceptually (the slaves are in a suspended state) It was supposed to take 6 weeks but it took longer than that months. Many committed suicide and genocide happened to collect the insurance claim. He can claim them as lost property and lost into profit. The case went to an insurance trial not a murder trial. We don"t know if the insurance paid back. The historical moment we here the insurance was invented. Identity are being created and recreated through representations of narratives.
