b"Join Dr. Carlos as he discusses white slavery in the Mediterranean during 1500-1800 with Dr. Davis. Robert C. Davis is a professor emeritus from the Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. This is a study that digs deeply into this 'other' slavery, the bondage of Europeans by North-African Muslims that flourished during the same centuries as the heyday of the trans-Atlantic trade from sub-Saharan Africa to the Americas. Here are explored the actual extent of Barbary Coast slavery, the dynamic relationship between master and slave, and the effects of this slaving on Italy, one of the slave takers' primary targets and victims."
