What was the social and political impact of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade?

The Transatlantic slave trade radically impaired Africa's potential to develop economically and maintain its social and political stability. The arrival of Europeans on the West African Coast and their establishment of slave ports in various parts of the continent triggered a continuous process of exploitation of Africa's human resources, labor, and commodities. This exploitative commerce influenced the African political and religious aristocracies, the warrior classes and the biracial elite, who made small gains from the slave trade, to participate in the oppression of their own people. The Europeans, on the other hand, greatly benefited from the Atlantic trade, since it allowed them to amass the raw materials that fed the Industrial Revolution to the detriment of African societies whose capacity to transform their modes of production into a viable entrepreneurial economy was severely halted.

Read Unusual Normality , by Ismael Beah.

What is the author’s point of view on sharing his full identity? Support your answer with evidence that shows how he develops this point of view throughout the text.

He wants to be able to be a child despite being an orphan who fought in a war as a kid, but to do so he must hide his background so people´s perception about him doesn´t change. This is revealed when he claims "if they knew about my background, they would no longer allow me to be a child."

Explanation:

When he explains that some parents were upset about him attending school with their children because of his background, it illustrates how fearful he is of being scrutinized because of his past.

He especially doesn´t want his classmates and new friends to see him as different because of his past. The author illustrates this when he describes being taught to play paintball, having to misfire on purpose to hide his past as a soldier, even pretending having been a hunter as a boy to explain how he got to be so good at paintball so fast.
