Macmillan Encyclopedia of World Slavery

Edited by: Paul Finkelman and Joseph C. Miller
Published by Macmillan Reference USA

Spanning historical eras and continents, the Encyclopedia covers all including the stories and cultures of the individuals involved, its complex history, and its colossal impact. Not just for the specialist, this Encyclopedia provides the general reader with the most current and accurate information on the people and civilizations affected by slavery. From history and legislation to art, music, and literature, this two-volume work describes everything from religious perspectives on slavery to the health and education of slaves.
