Bücher der Reihe Slaveries since Emancipation

Re-examines the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law, how the actions of fugitive slaves changed the face of the abolitionist movement, and the reactions of communities around them. The first book to explore the impact fugitive slaves had on the politics of what was the critical decade leading up to the Civil War.

Contemporary enslavement remains invisible because it operates as a criminal enterprise rather than a legal institution. This volume addresses modern-day slavery by developing historical perspectives that render it vividly recognizable. Uses historical inquiry to expose its roots, describe its varieties, and offer guidance for those who oppose it.
