The Routledge History of Slavery is a landmark publication that
provides an overview of the main themes surrounding the history of
slavery from ancient Greece to the present day. Taking stock of the
field of Slave Studies, the book explores the major advances that
have taken place in the past few decades of study in this crucial
field. Offering an unusual, transnational history of slavery, the
chapters have all been specially commissioned for the collection.
The volume begins by delineating the global nature of the
institution of slavery, examining slavery in different parts of the
world and over time. Topics covered here include slavery in Africa
and the Indian Ocean World, as well as the Transatlantic Slave
Trade. In Part Two, the chapters explore different themes that
define slavery such as slave culture, the slave economy, slave
resistance and the planter class, as well as areas of life affected
by slavery, such as family and work. The final part goes on to
study changes and continuities over time, looking at areas such as
abolition, the aftermath of emancipation and commemoration. The
volume concludes with a chapter on modern slavery. Including essays
on all the key topics and issues, this important collection from a
leading international group of scholars presents a comprehensive
survey of the current state of the field. It will be essential
reading for all those interested in the history of slavery.
