Slavery is not and has never been a "peculiar institution," but one
that is deeply rooted in the history and economy of most countries.
Although it has flourished in some periods and declined in others,
human bondage for profit has never been eradicated completely.In
"Slavery: A World History" renowned author Milton Meltzer traces
slavery from its origins in prehistoric hunting societies; through
the boom in slave trading that reached its peak in the United
States with a pre-Civil War slave population of 4,000,000; through
the forced labor under the Nazi regime and in the Soviet gulags;
and finally to its widespread practice in many countries today,
such as the debt bondage that miners endure in Brazil or the
prostitution into which women are sold in Thailand. In this
detailed, compassionate account, readers will learn how slavery
arose, what forms it takes, what roles slaves have performed in
their societies, what everyday existence is like for those
enchained, and what can be done to end the degrading practice of
slavery.
