SLAVERY: A NEW GLOBAL HISTORY

Book ID/图书代码： 03275010B43025

English Summary/英文概要： Slavery is as old as the world itself and Professor Jeremy Black shows that its history is one that is central to our understanding of the modern world. Starting in the ancient world when the Greeks defined slavery, he covers the uses of slavery in the New World, leading to the central section of the book on the triangular slave trade between West Africa, Britain and America. He looks at how this moment in history consolidated the British Empire and made America. He also charts the long fight to abolish the trade in the 19th century. However, as Black points out - slavery has not been completely abolished today and how coerced labour can be found closer to home than is comfortable.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 也許自人類世界誕生那一天起，奴隸制度就緊跟其後誕生了。
本書作者，傑瑞米教授認為，奴隸制度的歷史，是我們理解當代世界的一個中心點。從古代世界，古希臘定義明確的奴隸制度開始，一直到當代該制度的效用，組成了本書的重點章節，也就是對非洲西部、英國和美國之間的奴隸三角貿易的精闢闡述。
另外在此部全景歷史作品中，還通過分析斯巴達克斯暴動、印度種植園還分析了奴隸制度，還有被殘酷手段強迫的工人集中營，從而透視了奴隸制度是如何以諸如此類的種種形式，得以存活和發展。
傑瑞米還跟蹤記錄了自19世紀以來，廢除奴隸貿易的長期鬥爭。然而，時至今日，正如傑瑞米指出，奴隸貿易其實並未銷聲匿跡。(Claire)
