This book addresses and explores the roots of modern-day enslavement. Swanson and Stewart demonstrate how earlier forms of human bondage have shaped slavery and oppression in the present day by bringing together authors from a variety of academic disciplines. Scholarship becomes activism as the editors and contributors to this volume provide a blueprint for modern-day abolitionists.
