Description: How America's First Settlers Invented Chattel Slavery : Dehumanizing Native Americans and Africans With Language, Laws, Guns, and Religion, Hardcover by O'Rourke, David K., ISBN 0820468142, ISBN-13 9780820468143, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK O'Rourke's addition to the study of American slavery is his focus on choice and the context of choices made by English and Spanish settlers to transform the limited European practice of coerced labor into chattel slavery. He investigates the language, symbols and metaphors that allowed the establishment of a religiously sanctioned and legally institutionalized system of slavery. O'Rourke (theology, Santa Fe Institute, Berkeley) concludes that symbolic systems and social metaphors permitted settlers of the New World to make sense of their experience.
