Amrika

Rania begins her account of the history of Amrika. She explains how the ancestors of the Amrikyyoon hailed from a small nation of pirates called Inglatirah. Various expeditions made the arduous voyage across the ocean to the New World - some in search of worldly gain, and others to escape from religious persecution. All, however, were animated by a spirit of rebellion against the authority of the King to whom they had sworn fealty. The early history of the colonies was therefore a tumultuous period marked by rebellion, defiance, and ingratitude, in which the settlers cast aside the benevolent guidance of royal governance.

So far, in this podcast, I have been reading one chapter each week from the history of America by Rania bint Mahdi, which I recently translated from the Arabic. In the past couple of weeks, we’ve read her account of the American War of Independence, which she rather quaintly terms the First Slaveholder Rebellion in Amrika, or the First Insurrection of White Protestant Gentlemen. We’ll resume her history next week with chapter eight, where she recounts the events between the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitutional Convention of 1787. But this week I wanted to pause the narrative and explain how I came to translate this remarkable document into English.

Rania describes the process of "seasoning," by which the enslaved people of Afriqya were tortured and humiliated in an attempt to transform their minds into "slave minds." She goes on to explain how the warped psychology of slavery also perverted the souls of the enslavers, leading them to become hypocritical tyrants.
