"Gordon's survey of the topic makes it clear that slavery in the
Americas can be understood much better if we put it in this larger
context, in terms of both time and place. His chapters on East
African and Mediterranean slavery are especially valuable, since
these were contemporary with so-called Atlantic slavery and can
provide students with valid points of comparison, revealing both
the similarities and the variable nature of early-modern bondage.
The final chapter is especially timely, reminding readers that much
of what we think of as enslavement hasn't really gone away, but
simply slipped below the radar of the world media. All in all,
Gordon makes it clear that, though it has arisen in different
guises and at many different times and places, slavery has been and
remains deeply rooted in human society. A rewarding introduction
for anyone looking to better understand slavery as a world-wide
institution." -Robert Davis, The Ohio State University
