- Summary
-
Slavery's origins lie far back in the mists of prehistoric times and have spanned the globe, two facts that most history texts fail to address. This comprehensive volume provides a historical overview of slavery through the ages, from prehistoric times to the modern day, while detailing the different forms, the various sources, and the circumstances existing in different countries and regions. As a broad reference source, it provides a complete look at slavery by discussing the causes and cures, as well as the plight of those who fought for and against it. Every public, college, and high school library will want this available for students and other researchers.

- Summary
-
Because the American history of slavery and emancipation tends to be foremost in Western minds, few realise that traditional forms of servitude still exist in a variety of places around the world: children are sold on the streets of Bangkok, bondage persists in India despite official efforts to abolish it and, until 1980, slavery was legal in Mauritania. "Breaking the Chains" deals with emancipation in African and Asian societies which were either colonised or came under the domination of European powers in the 19th century. In these societies, emancipation involved the imposition on non-European societies of an explicitly European discourse on slavery, and, in most cases, a free labour ideology. Most of the slave masters described in these essays were not European and found European ideas on emancipation difficult to accept. Against this backdrop, the essayists (many of whom contribute their own non-Western perspective) focus on the transition from slavery (or other forms of bondage) to emancipation. They show that in each case the process involved pressure from European abolition movements, the extension of capitalist relations or production, the concerns and perceptions of the colonial state, and the efforts of non-Western elites to modernise their cultures. Martin Klein argues that the Asian and African experience has much in common with the American experience, particularly in efforts to control labour and family life. The struggle to control the labour of former slaves has often been intense and, he suggests, has had a continuing impact on the social order in former slave societies.

African peasant groups and their historical evolution are described in this set of original essays. The editor reviews definitions of what a peasant is, and the circumstances of African peasantry in the light of developing political economy theory. The papers that follow deal with such topics as the determinants of the African peasant's place in society, land holding, the adoption of a cash crop economy, and the African peasant under different types and phases of foreign domination.
