Based on a wide range of written and oral sources, (\u003ci\u003eTrafficking in Slavery’s Wake\u003c\/i\u003e) gives special prominence to the voices of women and children. Summing Up: Highly recommended.” * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e“Each of the chapters in Trafficking in Slavery’s Wake could stand as a solo article. However, the beauty of the collection is that the pieces say much more when grouped than they would as stand-alones. Patterns emerge. Continuities and discontinuities over time become apparent. Moreover, the contributors have clearly challenged each other to think in new ways.”\u003cbr\u003e“[This] book’s impact on me…was as a jolt to our collective complacency. …Chapter authors, their expertise spanning medical anthropology, sociology, history, law, political science, human rights, gender, and migration have achieved a laudable, multidisciplinary reference of historical cases. [Although it focuses] on Africa… this volume is a generic resource for historical background and contemporary anti-trafficking efforts everywhere.” * Journal of Human Trafficking *\u003cbr\u003e“(\u003ci\u003eTrafficking in Slavery’s Wake\u003c\/i\u003e) contributes to human trafficking scholarship by analyzing it, not as a new phenomenon, but as a modern iteration of slavery…. The volume’s easy readability makes it a valuable pedagogical tool at both the graduate and undergraduate level. And while each chapter of the volume provides unique insight into the human rights issue, the essays’ diverse approaches and source material contribute even more to human trafficking scholarship collectively.” * World History Connected *\u003cbr\u003e“This cohesive and empirically rich volume is an important addition to our understanding of the nature and texture of the lives of trafficked and enslaved women and children, and of the legal, cultural, and intellectual lineages that produced what today constitutes a ‘humanitarian crisis‘ of trafficking in sub-Saharan Africa.” * International Journal of African Historical Studies *\u003cbr\u003e“In colonial and contemporary contexts, international multidisciplinary scholars and human rights activists examine the causes of enslavement and international policy responses. Includes maps of Africa, country-specific statistics, and harrowing case studies.” * Book News *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Introduction.
