In her new book, well-known Africanist Suzanne Miers places modern
slavery in its historical context, tracing the phenomenal
development of the international anti-slavery movement over the
last hundred years. She demonstrates how the problems of
eradication seem greater and more intractable today than they had
ever been, showing how slavery has expanded to include newer forms
from 1919 to 2000, some of them crueler than the chattel slavery so
familiar to the public mind. Miers describes the targets of ongoing
anti-slavery campaigns, including forced labor, forced
prostitution, forced marriage, the exploitation of child labor and
of migrant and contract labor. She centers her story on Great
Britain's efforts to suppress the slave trade since the late
eighteenth century, and draws upon her extensive work in Africa,
where slavery has attracted the greatest humanitarian and
international attention. This book is a valuable resource for those
interested in world history, slavery, race and ethnic history,
international human rights, and labor in the world economy.
