About the Authors
  • Volume 3 of The Cambridge World History of Slavery is a collection of essays exploring the various manifestations of coerced labor in Africa, Asia and the Americas between the opening up of the Atlantic world and the formal creation of the new nation of Haiti. The authors, well-known authorities in their respective fields, place slavery in the foreground of the collection but also examine other types of coerced labor. Essays are organized both nationally and thematically and cover the major empires, coerced migration, slave resistance, gender, demography, law and the economic significance of coerced labor. Non-scholars will also find this volume accessible.

    • The only in-depth treatment of slavery around the world
    • The broad geographic coverage of slavery and of different aspects of slavery and the slave experience make this an unbeatable resource for the study of slavery
    • Essays by authors who are leading scholars in their respective fields
