What is Slavery? by Brenda E Stevenson

What is Slavery? by Brenda E Stevenson

What is slavery? It seems a simple enough question. Despite the long history of the institution and its widespread use around the globe, many people still largely associate slavery, outside of the biblical references in the Old Testament, to the enslavement of Africans in America, particularly the United States.

"This small book is something of a miracle, telling a story of global importance and ancient lineage in ways both evocative and efficientNo other single volume better explains the origins and evolution of slavery in American history."
Edward L. Ayers, University of Richmond

"Brenda Stevenson’s What is Slavery? fills a huge gap in our knowledge of humans behaving badly and reveals the violence, abuse, and exploitation that accompanied this inhumane practice. This is a welcome and much-needed addition to the scholarship on slavery in the ancient and modern world."
V. P. Franklin, University of California
