Slavery's expansion across the globe often escapes notice because
it operates as an underground criminal enterprise, rather than as a
legal institution. In this volume, Elizabeth Swanson and James
Brewer Stewart bring together scholars from across disciplines to
address and expose the roots of modern-day slavery from a
historical perspective as a means of supporting activist efforts to
fight it in the present. They trace modern slavery to its many
sources, examining how it is sustained and how today's
abolitionists might benefit by understanding their predecessors'
successes and failures. Using scholarship also intended as
activism, the volume's authors analyze how the history of African
American enslavement might illuminate or obscure the understanding
of slavery today and show how the legacies of earlier forms of
slavery have shaped human bondage and social relations in the
twenty-first century.
