And I want to quote now from a book called The Other Slavery by Andre Rendez.
Why people recommend it
The Other Slavery by Andrés Reséndez is a historical examination of the hidden systems of Indigenous enslavement that persisted throughout the Americas alongside the transatlantic slave trade. Robert Evans featured the book prominently on Behind the Bastards during his multi-part series on Christopher Columbus, using it to shed light on the brutal exploitation of native populations. Evans quoted from the text to describe harrowing historical events, such as the encounters between Indigenous leaders like Guacanagari and Columbus, as well as the devastating conditions faced by enslaved divers forced to harvest pearls along the Pearl Coast, which the author noted suffered staggering attrition rates. Furthermore, Evans utilized Reséndez's research to contextualize the broader history of forced labor and servitude, noting how early Portuguese and Spanish colonial enterprises adopted and expanded various forms of coerced labor. By bringing these passages to light, Evans aimed to provide listeners with a more accurate and somber historical record of the atrocities committed during the early colonization period, contrasting traditional narratives with the systematic enslavement documented in the book.

“And to close us out, I'm going to read for you, Michael, one of the most harrowing passages I have ever read in my research for this show. Um, this is from the book The Other Slavery by Andres Rendez.”
“And in order to talk about what he's doing in that period, I'm going to quote now from the book The Other Slavery by Andres Resendez. Andre Resendez, sorry. "The early Portuguese slave trade assumed several forms from inherited slavery to indentured servitude, forced labor for a fixed period of time, occasionally with modest wages."”
