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, with the enslavement of Africans in America, particularly the United States. Slavery proved to be essential to the creation of the young nation’s agricultural and industrial economies and profoundly shaped its political and cultural landscapes, even until today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat Is Slavery?\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the experience of enslaved black people in the United States from its early colonial period to the dawn of that destructive war that was as much about slavery as anything else. The book begins with a survey of slavery across time and place, from the ancient world to the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade, and then describes the commerce in black labourers that ushered in market globalisation and brought more than 12 million Africans to the Americas, before finally examining slavery in law and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who are looking for a concise and comprehensive treatment of such topics as slave labour, culture, resistance, family and gender relations, the domestic slave trade, the regionalisation of the institution in the expanding southern and southwestern frontiers, and escalating abolitionist and proslavery advocacies, this book will be essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000841453804,"sku":"9780745671512","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13072253482453.jpg?v=1763309429"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/brenda-e-stevenson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
