Need to Market your historical fiction with people of color or black leads?

 

Need to Market your historical fiction with people of color or black leads?

Black History isn’t actually “black”; but about those of African descent, and such lives are throughout ALL HISTORY and PREHISTORY, not just Urban, Harlem Renaissance, and American and European “Black” Slavery. Newer sciences say ALL PEOPLES began in African and have become many flavors of humans, in all sorts of lovely shades and features.

And back when Europeans were cutting up the entire continent of Africa like a dessert pie, each of those slave states had interactions and intermarriage with Africans. These “mixed race” and “biracial” people have historical stories too.

Ancient Romans enslaved everyone but also freed many and took anyone into their vast armies, during and after the Romans there was a long history of castration cities in the Mid-East and Asia providing eunuch slaves, few of those were “black”, many were other colors.

England then Great Britain plus Europe and Russia had perpetual serfdoms; where people were treated as their masters’ property stock, or they were—many Russians were serfs (slave property) into the 20th Century of the First World War.
