Description

The material well-being of the western world was heavily dependent on slavery for nearly three centuries. This period came to an abrupt end, and in recent years, historians have been re-examining the complex arguments surrounding its history. This book surveys the key questions about slavery, tracing the debates that have emerged in response to new research. A comparative analysis of slavery in the English-speaking Americas is also presented, providing a nuanced understanding of this pivotal topic. By examining the latest findings on slavery, readers can gain a deeper insight into one of the most significant and contentious issues in modern history.
