enslaved person
The term is used to describe someone who is forced to perform labor or services against their will under threat of physical mistreatment, separation from family or loved ones, or death. The term refers to different forms of un-freedom, with different meanings and consequences over time and place.Today, the term is more generally used to describe people from Africa who were bought/captured by Europeans. Today, the term is seen as normalising the category ‘slave’ as an inherent identity of a person, ignoring that this identity was created through force. Recommendations for use The term “enslaved person” emphasizes an individual's humanity within a slaveholding society, highlighting that their identity centers on personhood while acknowledging they were forcibly subjected to slavery by others. (English)
