Description
A Brief History of Slavery A New Global History by Jeremy Black This comprehensive history of slavery spans the ancient world to the present day, revealing how it has taken many forms throughout history and across the globe. From ancient civilizations to modern-day crimes, Black examines the development of slavery, its impact on the formation of transoceanic empires, and the long fight for abolition in the 19th century. The book charts the complex and often brutal history of slavery, including the uprising of Spartacus, the plantations of the West Indies, and the forced labour of gulags and concentration camps. Black also looks at the harrowing accounts of enslaved individuals and the campaigners who fought for their freedom. Today, the legacy of slavery continues to shape our world, and this book provides a crucial understanding of its ongoing impact.
