Ulwazi mayelana nezinkambo zesigqila nezindawo ezinkulu zokuhweba izigqila eNtshonalanga Afrika zingatholakala ngezansi. Ukuvakasha kwamasiko kanye nokuvakasha kwamaGugu sekuya kakhulu eNtshonalanga Afrika. Abantu base-Afrika-baseMelika, ikakhulukazi, benza lolu hambo luzohlonipha okhokho babo.
Kukhona ukungqubuzana mayelana namanye amasayithi afakwe ngezansi. Ngokwesibonelo, i- Goree Island e-Senegal, idayise isikhathi eside njengesikebhe esikhulu sokuhweba, kodwa izazi-mlando ziphikisa ukuthi azizange zithinte indima enkulu ekuthumeleni izigqila emazweni aseMelika.
Kubantu abaningi, yilophawu olubalulekile. Akekho okwazi ukuvakashela lezi zingo ngaphandle kokuzindla ngokujulile ngezindleko zomuntu nezenhlalakahle zobugqila.
I-Ghana
I-Ghana yindawo evelele kakhulu kubantu base-Afrika-baseMelika ngokukhethekile ukuvakashela izingosi zokuhweba izigqila. UMengameli Obama uvakashele eGhana naseN Cape Coast izigqila nomndeni wakhe, yilokuqala izwe elisemthethweni lase-Afrika waya eMongameli. Izingosi ezibalulekile zobugqila eGhana zifaka:
I-St George's Castle yaziwa nangokuthi u- Elmina Castle e-Elmina, omunye wabantu abaningi ababeyizigqila ezisogwini lwase-Ghana e-Atlantic, indawo evelele kakhulu kanye nendawo yokuhambela abavakashi be-African-American nezivakashi ezivela emhlabeni wonke. Uhambo oluqondisiwe luzokuholela ezinkampanini zezigqila namaseli okujezisa. Igumbi lesitolo esithengisa izigqila manje linamamyuziyamu amancane.
I-Cape Coast Castle ne-Museum. I-Cape Coast Castle idlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu ekuhwebeni ngezigqila kanye nezinkambo eziqondiswa nsuku zonke zihlanganisa izigodla zezigqila, i-Palaver hall, ithuna loMbusi waseNgisi, nokuningi.
Le nqaba yayiyinhloko yombuso waseBrithani wokuphatha amakoloni iminyaka engaba ngu-200. I-Museum ihlinzeka izinto ezivela kulo lonke isifundazwe kubandakanya izinto zokusebenza ezisetshenziselwa ukuhweba ngezigqila. Ividiyo efundisa inikeza isingeniso esihle ebhizinisini nokuthi senziwa kanjani.
IGold Coast eGhana empeleni ihlanganiswe nezintandane ezindala ezisetshenziswa amandla aseYurophu ngesikhathi sokuhweba ngezigqila.
Ezinye zezinqaba zishintshiwe zaba izindlu zokuvakasha ezinikeza indawo yokuhlala eyisisekelo. Amanye ama-forts afana ne- Fort Amsterdam ase-Abanze anezici eziningi zangempela, okunika umqondo omuhle wokuthi wawukuphi ngesikhathi sokuhweba ngezigqila.
UDonko Nsuo e-Assin Manso uyisigqila somfula "isigqila", lapho izigqila zigeza khona emva kohambo lwazo olude, futhi zizohlanzwa (ngisho neoli). Kungaba ukugeza kwabo kokugcina ngaphambi kokuya emikhumbi yezigqila, ungalokothi ubuyele e-Afrika. Kunezingosi eziningana ezifanayo eGhana, kepha uDonko Nsuo e-Assin Manso ihora elilodwa ukusuka ku-forts coastal (inland) futhi wenza uhambo olulula ngosuku, noma ukumisa endleleni eya Kumasi. Ukuvakasha kanye nomhlahlandlela wesayithi kufaka ukuvakashela amanye amathuna nokuhamba phansi emfuleni ukubona lapho amadoda nabesifazane begeza khona ngokwehlukana. Kukhona udonga lapho ungabeka khona isikhala ngokukhumbula imiphefumulo empofu eyadlula ngale ndlela. Kukhona futhi indawo yokuthandaza.
I-Salaga enyakatho yeGhana yayiyisiteleka sezimakethe ezinkulu zenceku. Izivakashi namuhla zingabona izizathu zemakethe yezigqila; imithombo yamakhoboka eyayisetshenziselwa ukugeza izigqila futhi iphumelele ngemali enhle; kanye namathuna amakhulu lapho izigqila ezafa zabekwa khona ukuphumula.
Senegal
I-Goree Island (i-Ile de Goree) , i-Senegal yokuqala yokuya kulabo abanesithakazelo emlandweni we-trans-Atlantic-slave-trade.
Ukukhanga okuyinhloko yi-Maison des Esclaves (House of Slaves) eyakhiwe amaDashi ngo-1776 njengendawo yokubamba izigqila. Indlu iye yaguqulwa yaba yimyuziyamu futhi ivulwe njalo ngosuku ngaphandle ngoMsombuluko. Ukuvakasha kuzokukhipha emagodini lapho izigqila zazigcinwe futhi zichaze kahle ukuthi zathengiswa kanjani futhi zithunyelwa.
IBenin
I-Porto-Novo iyinhloko-dolobha yaseBenin futhi yasungulwa njengesigqila esikhulu sokuhweba ngezigqila yiPutukezi ngekhulu le-17. Izinqaba ezonakalisiwe zingacubungulwa.
U-Ouidah (entshonalanga yeCoutonou) yilapho izigqila ezithathwe eTogo naseBenin zizochitha ubusuku bazo bokugcina ngaphambi kokuba zihambe uhambo lwazo lwe-Atlantic. Kukhona iMamyuziyamu Yomlando (Musee d'Histoire d'Ouidah) ekhuluma indaba yokuhweba ngezigqila.
Ivulekile nsuku zonke (kodwa ivaliwe kwasemini).
I- Route des Esclaves yimizila engamakhilomitha ama-4 (4km) egcwele izithunjwa nezithombe lapho izigqila zithatha ukuhamba kwazo kokugcina ukuya ogwini nasemikhumbi yezigqila. Izikhumbuzo ezibalulekile ziye zafakwa emzaneni wokugcina kule ndlela, okuyinto "iphuzu lokungabuyeli".
I-Gambia
I-Gambia yilapho iKunta Kinte ivela khona, inothi lika-Alex Haley inombuso uRoots yayisekelwe kulo. Kunezindawo ezimbalwa ezibalulekile zobugqila ukuvakashela eGambia:
I-Albreda iyisiqhingi esasiyisigqila sokubaluleka esibalulekile samaFulentshi. Kukhona manje imyuziyamu yesigqila.
I-Jufureh yindawo yakubo yaseKunta Kinte kanti izivakashi ezivakashelayo ngezinye izikhathi zihlangane namalungu omndeni wakwaKinte.
Isiqhingi saseJames sasijwayele ukubamba izigqila amasonto ambalwa ngaphambi kokuba ithunyelwe kwamanye amazwe angaphandle eNingizimu Afrika. Ijele lisalokhu lithembekile, lapho izigqila zaziboshwa khona.
Ukuvakasha okugxila kwiveli "Roots" kuyathandwa izivakashi eGambia futhi kuzohlanganisa zonke izingosi zezinceku ezibalwe ngenhla. Ungakwazi futhi ukuhlangabezana nenzalo yendlu kaKunta Kinte.
Izindawo ezingaphezu kwezigqila
Izingosi zokuhweba ezincane ezingaziwayo kodwa ezifanele ukuvakashela eNtshonalanga Afrika zihlanganisa iGberefu Island neBagagry eNigeria; Arochukwu, eNigeria; neGuinea i-Atlantic Coast.
