| Walvin, co-editor of the journal Slavery and Abolition for 20 years, looks at slavery in the Americas in the broadest context, taking account of both earlier and later forms of slavery. The relationship between the critical continents, Europe, Africa, and the Americas, is examined through a collection of maps and related text, which puts the key features of the history of slavery in their defining geographical setting. A final chapter overviews slavery as practiced today as child labor, sex slavery, and human trafficking. |
