In the West, human bondage remains synonymous with the Atlantic
slave trade. But large slave systems in Africa and Asia predated,
co-existed, and overlapped with the Atlantic system-and have
persisted in modified forms well into the twenty-first century,
posing major threats to political and economic stability within
those regions and worldwide. This handbook examines the deep
historical roots of unfree labour in Africa and Asia along with its
contemporary manifestations. It takes an innovative longue duree
perspective in order to link the local and global, the past and
present. Contributors trace shifting forms of forced labour in the
region since circa 1800, connecting punctual shocks such as
environmental crisis, conflict, market instability, and crop
failure to human security threats such as impoverishment, violence,
migration, kidnapping, and enslavement. Together, these chapters
illuminate the historical and contemporary dimensions of bondage in
Africa and Asia, with important implications for the fight against
modern-day bondage and human trafficking.
