Questions

What is the purpose of 'Slavery throughout world history'?

The purpose of 'Slavery throughout world history' written by E.J van Amstel, is to provide an overview of the history of slavery.

Slavery was common from the ancient times. The fact that we live in the free West today is a miracle if you look at all of history.

In Europe, slavery died out in the Middle Ages under the influence of Christianity. 

England took the lead in the abolition of slavery worldwide, after it had great difficulty in enshrining the abolition of the slave trade into law internally in 1807.


There are still 50 million slaves today in non-Western counties. How can we make the world free from slavery? More information at https://www.ijm.org

“In her recently published book -‘Slavery throughout world history ‘ - E.J van Amstel introduces the reader to the very impressive world history of a life in slavery. For those, who like me, grew up in a society in which institutional slavery is notorious reprehensible, the scales fall from their eyes while reading. A real page turner!”
