Infos

Slavery is a live issue today, but the people who talk about it as such are not all of a piece. Some insist the world is now plagued by the contemporary equivalent of transatlantic slavery, and call on us to combat "e;modern slavery"e;. Others hold that the on-going devaluation and destruction of black life continues the logic of transatlantic slavery. They urge us to address the "e;afterlives"e; of racial chattel slavery. These two groupings provide different answers to the questions, "e;what do we know and what should we do about slavery?"e; This book reviews what is known about the issues at the heart of each perspective, and argues that the concept of "e;afterlives"e; is more helpful than that of "e;modern slavery"e; to those seeking to challenge injustice, violence, inequality and oppression in the twenty-first century.
