For almost four thousand years, men and women with power have
exploited vulnerable populations for cheap or free labor. These
slaves, serfs, helots, tenants, peons, bonded or forced laborers,
etc., built pyramids and temples, dug canals and mined the earth
for precious metals and gemstones. They built the palaces and
mansions in which the powerful lived, grown the food they ate, spun
the cloth that clothed them. This second edition of Historical
Dictionary of Slavery and Abolition relates the long and brutal
history of slavery and the struggle for abolition using several key
features: .Chronology .Introductory essay .Appendixes .Extensive
bibliography .Over 500 cross-referenced entries on forms of
slavery, famous slaves and abolitionists, sources of slaves, and
current conditions of modern slavery around the world This book is
an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about slavery and abolition."
