Monsoon rains, winds, and currents have shaped patterns of
production and exchange in the Indian Ocean world (IOW) for
centuries. Consequently, as this volume demonstrates, the
environment has also played a central role in determining the
region's systems of bondage and human trafficking. Contributors
trace intricate links between environmental forces, human
suffering, and political conditions, examining how they have driven
people into servile labour and shaped the IOW economy. They
illuminate the complexities of IOW bondage with case studies, drawn
chiefly from the mid-eighteenth century, on Sudan, Cape Colony,
Reunion, China, and beyond, where chattel slavery (as seen in the
Atlantic world) represented only one extreme of a wide spectrum of
systems of unfree labour. The array of factors examined here,
including climate change, environmental disaster, disease, and
market forces, are central to IOW history-and to modern-day forms
of human bondage.
