In a world where hypocrisy and lies were elevated to an art form masquerading as "tolerance" and "politically correctness", In Once a Slave, Always a Slave, a book written by a black to other blacks (and whites, yellows and browns), Anaya Binta, a black essayist argues that if Africa doesn't build a cognitive elite, the continent will be doomed forever. Once a Slave, Always a Slave is about slavery, history, colonization, racism and black men's incapacity to build states where most Africans would like to live, hence mass immigration from Africa to live with and obey African's former masters and complain about the racism they suffer. Once a Slave, Always a Slave is about African's favourite default mode: victimization and moral posturing and how Africans, Afro-Americans, Afro-Europeans must abandon both if they want to have meaningful changes in Africa, and in African diaspora around the world, and if they want to any chance of removing Africa's stain and its consequences in African men's lives...In Africa and all around the world. By now, of course, it should be known, that, Africa men's stain is the African Slavery that black men allowed to happenOnce a Slave, Always a Slave is a thought-provoking essay, as powerful as Aimé Césaire's "Discourse on Colonialism" and a work that may shock but which is the truth as Anaya Binta sees it, and believes All Africans should, if they want to respect the memory of those millions of Africans who were enslaved and treated as chattels.

Newbery Medal Winner: A young Louisiana boy faces the horrors of slavery when he is kidnapped and forced to work on a slave ship in this iconic novel. Thirteen-year-old Jessie Bollier earns a few pennies playing his fife on the docks of New Orleans. One night, on his way home, a canvas is thrown over his head and he’s knocked unconscious. When he wakes up, Jessie finds himself aboard a slave ship, bound for Africa. There, the Moonlight picks up ninety-eight black prisoners, and the men, women, and children, chained hand and foot, are methodically crammed into the ship’s hold. Jessie’s job is to provide music for the slaves to dance to on the ship’s deck—not for amusement but for exercise, as a way to to keep their muscles strong and their bodies profitable. Over the course of the long voyage, Jessie grows more and more sickened by the greed of the sailors and the cruelty with which the slaves are treated. But it’s one final horror, when the Moonlight nears her destination, that will change Jessie forever. Set during the middle of the nineteenth century, when the illegal slave trade was at its height, The Slave Dancer not only tells a vivid and shocking story of adventure and survival, but depicts the brutality of slavery with unflinching historical accuracy.
