Litheko Modisane, Africa is a Country
A grossly detestable subjection of one human being by another, slavery was a
structural guarantor of white control of blacks in the Americas. It was to
whites in that part of the world and other parts of the world including the
Cape Colony in South Africa, what colonial subjugation and apartheid would
later be to whites in the rest of Africa. There is no longer slavery in the
Americas. However, white supremacy is still around, not only in the United
States but also in many recently colonized societies. On what structural ropes
then does white supremacy hang today? Even then, does it still need an
institutional apparatus of dominance for its continuity?
