"Grdere" was likely a typo for "GΓ©rard" in reference to the film "The Black Stallion," where one of the black slaves was forced to drink rum by the slave trader to be compliant during the slave dance. This act was portrayed as a form of coercion and dehumanization to show the cruelty and power dynamics present in the slave trade.
The African slave system typically involved slaves being integrated into society and having the potential to gain social mobility, while the colonial slave system focused on dehumanizing slaves and perpetuating generational enslavement. Additionally, the African slave system often relied on war captives or debtors, whereas the colonial slave system relied heavily on transatlantic slave trade.
One abstract noun related to "slave" could be "enslavement," which refers to the act of making someone a slave or the state of being enslaved.
Some symbols in "The Slave Dancer" include the chains that represent the captivity and oppression of enslaved individuals, the ship itself as a symbol of the transportation of slaves from Africa to America, and the sea as a symbol of both freedom and danger for the characters.
