In this episode Maheshi speaks with Professor Julia Jorati at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, about the Effects of Slavery on enslaved people and on eighteenth-century antislavery arguments. We discuss about what is meant by the effects-of-slavery strategy, it's potential drawbacks and whether at all this strategy can be useful for antislavery purposes. Julia's work has played an important role in trying to understand oppressive structures and the effects that these structures can have by discussing insights from people who had first-hand experience of enslavement and racism in this period.
