Orlando Patterson's "Slavery and Social Death" offers a comparative analysis of #slavery across cultures, defining it not as #property ownership but as a condition of "social death." This concept involves three key elements:
Violent Domination: #Slaves were subjected to coercion and absolute power by their masters.
Natal Alienation: Enslaved individuals were stripped of family ties, #heritage, and social identity.
Dishonor: Slaves were perpetually marginalized and denied social recognition.
Patterson argues that slavery universally dehumanized individuals, transforming them into commodities and severing their place in society. His work emphasizes slavery's enduring psychological, cultural, and social impacts.
