N2  - « This work of exceptional ambition presents an accessible history of slavery from prehistory to the present. It appears twenty years after the vote of the Taubira law, while awareness of slavery is sharper every day within French society. The history of slavery, too long regarded as a form of subordinate past, is here replaced at the heart of world history. The book renews a comparative approach in the study of the phenomenon of slavery, which takes the reader from ancient India to the Antilles of the 18th century, from Han China to colonial Brazil, from medieval Egypt to contemporary Uganda. Far from trivializing the monstrous singularity of colonial slavery resulting from the transatlantic slave trade, the comparison helps to shed light on it. This book therefore bets on knowledge and reflection, convinced that historical knowledge offers critical resources that have the power to emancipate. »
