地理發見時代의 黑人과 그 役割 = The Roles of Negroes During the Early Ggeographical Discovery

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is significant that the institution of slavery had survived from Roman times as a cheap menas of labor supply. Slaves could be able to be bought, sold, and transported from one part of the Mediterranean basin to another-in both the Christian and Muslin sectors. The sugar plantation appered in Crete, in Sicily, and later in Southern Spain and Portugal. The sugar plantation as an economic institution had spread far to the West from its place of origin.
Not merely slavery but a paricular form of slavery was thus transmitted to the West. But by late in the fifteenth century, the slave supply depended already on West African Sources, and the plantations of this period already resembled the American plantations that were to appear later as part of the South Atlantic system, although there were marked differences between these early ones and their successors.
The first negroes in the new world were not from Africa but from Europe, and also there was never a time in the Europeans' exploration and exploitation of the New World when they were without the services of some black Europeans. Africa was the dark continent only to the Europeans, who were restricted to the coastal arears by powerful African nations. The high level of culture mad the Africans attractive to Europeans as a source of skilled labor after the failure of Indians enslavement on New World plantation.
