CH.20

As I was reading Chapter 20, I found it interesting to read about "Economies of Wage Labor; Working for Europeans". People of low class had to work for the Eurpeans because they were in need of money to help there families survive. Although sometimes it wasn't just to help the families but because they were told so by the authorities. What really caught my attention was to read about how most Africans got paid very little for doing alot of work. It got me thinking that Africans were always looked at as something less than "low class". My grandma was talking to me about how in her country Guatemala people were always judged based on there skin color. The darker the person was the less respect there was for them. So it wasn't just in Europe that Africans were paid very little for working alot, it happend all over the world. Because these people really needed the money they never said no.
