Yet  as Andrs Resndez illuminates in his myth-shattering The Other Slavery  it was practiced for centuries as an open secret. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of natives who were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors  then forced to descend into the mouth of hell of eighteenth-century silver mines or  later  made to serve as domestics for Mormon settlers and rich Anglos. Resndez builds the incisive case that it was mass slavery  more than epidemics  that decimated Indian populations across North America. New evidence  including testimonies of courageous priests  rapacious merchants  Indian captives  and Anglo colonists  sheds light too on Indian enslavement of other Indians  as what started as a European business passed into the hands of indigenous operators and spread like wildfire across vast tracts of the American Southwest.  The Other Slavery reveals nothing less than a key missing piece of American history. For over two centuries we have fought over  abolished  and tried to come to grips with African-American slavery. It is time for the West to confront an entirely separate  equally devastating enslavement we have long failed truly to see.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959522226229,"sku":"ByrdShop_0547640986","price":49.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780547640983.jpg?v=1770374228","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-other-slavery-the-uncovered-story-of-indian-enslavement-in-america","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
