　　In one form or another, slavery has existed throughout the

world for millennia. It helped to change the world, and the world

transformed the institution. In the 1450s, when Europeans from the

small corner of the globe least enmeshed in the institution first

in***cted with peoples of other continents, they created, in the

Americas, the most dynamic, productive, and exploitative system of

coerced labor in human history. Three centuries later these same

intercontinental acti*** produced a movement that successfully

challenged the institution at the peak of its dynamism. Within

another century a new surge of European expansion c***tructed Old

World empires under the banner of antislavery. However,

twentieth-century Europe itself was inundated by a new system of

slavery, larger and more deadly than its earlier system of New

World slavery. This book examines these dramatic expansi*** and

contracti*** of the institution of slavery and the impact of

violence, economics, and civil society in the ebb and flow of

slavery and antislavery during the last five centuries.

· Takes the history of global slavery from its pre-colonial

origins in fifteenth-century Europe to its climax in

twentieth-century Europe · Most other histories of slavery give

attention to religion, economics, racism and violence, however,

this book draws attention to the critical role of civil society in

accounting for the presence or absence of slavery and antislavery ·

Scholarship on slavery usually focuses either on the Atlantic,

African or Indian Ocean variants, whereas this account attempts to

draw them together

In one form or another, slavery has existed throughout the world for millennia. It helped to change the world, and the world transformed the institution. In the 1450s, when Europeans from the small corner of the globe least enmeshed in the institution first in***cted with peoples of other continents, they created, in the Americas, the most dynamic, productive, and exploitative system of coerced labor in human history. Three centuries later these same intercontinental acti*** produced a movement that successfully challenged the institution at the peak of its dynamism. Within another century a new surge of European expansion c***tructed Old World empires under the banner of antislavery. However, twentieth-century Europe itself was inundated by a new system of slavery, larger and more deadly than its earlier system of New World slavery. This book examines these dramatic expansi*** and contracti*** of the institution of slavery and the impact of violence, economics, and civil society in the ebb and flow of slavery and antislavery during the last five centuries.
