More About This Book

Overview

Chronology of World Slavery combines multiple chronologies, sidebars on specialized topics, primary source documents, and gripping illustrations into a compelling portrayal of slavery from the dawn of civilization to the present. Organized by geographic region and time period, this work enables readers to gain a quick understanding of how long slavery has been part of human life and where it has occurred.

Chronology of World Slavery is the ideal companion to The Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery (ABC-CLIO, 1997). Together, these works span all world cultures and time periods to examine humankind's most perplexing—and persistent—historical issue.

"This work establishes the fact that slavery has existed since ancient times and tries to dispel the myth that slaves are only people of color. Designed to complement the two-volume Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery (1997), it is much more than a mere chronology of world slavery. The work in divided into six geographical sections (ancient world, Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the United States), each with an introduction and chronology. More than 100 brief sidebar essays interspersed throughout the book enhance its readability. Extremely useful are 80 full-text historical and legal documents ranging from ancient times to the present, covering topcs from the "Code of Hammurabi" to "the Brazilian Government Recognizes Slave Labor" (1985). An extensive index and 50-page bibliography appear at the end of the work. Recommended for all libraries."--"Outstanding reference sources 2000", American Libraries, May 2000.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"…the most comprehensive work of its type currently available … Libraries that already own The Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery will definately want to add this complementary volume. However, this reference will stand on its own merits and other libraries in need of a worthy chronology on this important topic should consider it."

-

Against the Grain

"…a fine reference book on this important topic. Recommended primarily for large public and academic libraries."

-

Library Journal

"This reference volume is designed to complement The Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery, but it can stand on its own as an important reference source … this volume will probably be heavily used for in depth units on slavery. Recommended."

-

The Book Report

"For all reference collections."

-

Choice

"Given the ongoing interest in this subject, this work should be added to the reference collections of high school and college libraries."

-

American Reference Books Annual

"Recommended for all libraries."

-

American Libraries

"The title of this useful reference volume does not accurately indicate the range of information it contains … it should be immensely useful to students and teachers."

Library Journal
Gr 9 Up-This scholarly companion to The Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery (ABC-CLIO, 1998) explores the significance and pervasive legacy of an institution that has existed across time and the globe. However, half of the entries, sidebars, and documents here concern slavery in the U.S. The volume is divided into geographic regions; within these sections, important dates from ancient times to the present are accompanied by explanatory paragraphs. Interspersed are sidebars that discuss specific topics and themes such as the "Constantinople Slave Trade," "Church Attitudes," and "Samboism." Five maps precede the chronology and good-quality black-and-white reproductions are scattered throughout. Following the entries are the full and partial texts of 80 related documents including: "Excerpts from the Code of Hammurabi (c. 1790 B.C.)," "The Queir s Law (1850)," and the "Brazilian Government Recognizes Slave Labor (1995)." Expected topics (Middle Passage, cotton economy, abolitionists), along with more unusual and less studied information (e.g., a first-person account of a slave who was mailed to freedom and a profile of Anna Julia Cooper, a feminist born into slavery), are covered. An exhaustive list of sources is included.-Janet Woodward, Garfield High School, Seattle, WA Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
