Abolition
- Paperback (ISBN-13: 9780521600859)
- Publication date: July 2009
- Subject: Global history
Slavery has helped to change the world, and the world has transformed the institution. From the 1450s, when Europeans first interacted with peoples of other continents to create the most dynamic, productive, and exploitative system of coerced labor in human history, to the twentieth century, where a new system of slavery, larger and more deadly than before, has inundated Europe, this book examines the impact of violence, economics, and civil society on slavery and antislavery during the last five centuries.

Church, State, and Original Intent
- Paperback (ISBN-13: 9780521134521)
- Publication date: November 2009
- Subject: American government, politics and policy
This provocative book shows how the justices of the United States Supreme Court have used constitutional history, portraying the Framers' actions in a light favoring their own views about how church and state should be separated. Drakeman examines church-state constitutional controversies from the Founding Era to the present, arguing that the Framers originally intended the establishment clause only as a prohibition against a single national church.
