Slavery, Power and Human Dignity
Africa and the Global History of Bondage
A comparative history of slavery in and from Africa, examining the Atlantic, trans-Saharan, Red Sea and Indian Ocean systems while keeping differences in law, labour, chronology and evidence clearly in view.
The book begins with Africa before the major slave trades, follows the institutions that sustained enslavement and forced migration, and continues through resistance, abolition, colonial coercion, modern forced labour and the enduring question of human dignity.
