Toussaint Louverture

The Black Trafficking Trial is an information and training book, a reference book that should be read and used as an educational tool on slavery. Written in a new style, this book offers us a fairly complete documentation on the slave trade practiced throughout the 15th century until the beginning of the 19th century. This mock trial of slavery and the slave trade before the ICC alerts global consciousness to the problem of modern slavery in the world. What counts in this imaginary tale is the remembering of the crimes that were committed against blacks during the crossing of the Atlantic until their arrival in America, and then the crimes committed in the sugar cane plantations. sugar, coffee, cotton, tobacco, rice and indigo. In this invented trial, it is not the accused who are the most important. They are only eleven, so quite a few compared to the millions of people in France, England, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark, Holland, and the United States who participated in the trafficking trade and who profited from slavery.

A career judge and history buff, Jean Sénat Fleury was born in Haiti. He is the author of several historical works.
