  • Slavery and Colonial Rule in Africa

    Martin A Klein, Suzanne MiersBOOKSlavery and Colonial Rule in Africa2013Cited by: 16

    This book brings together a series of new case studies, some by young scholars, others by widely published authors. All are based on original research and designed to enhance our understanding of the process of the abolition of slavery in Africa at the grass-roots level. Part of the studies are on new areas of interest such as the German colonies and the Algerian Sahara. Others throw new light on questions already debated, such as emancipation of…

  • Child Slaves in the Modern World

    Gwyn Campbell, Suzanne Miers et al.BOOKChild slaves in the modern world2011

    Child Slaves in the Modern World is the second of two volumes that examine the distinctive uses and experiences of children in slavery in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This collection of previously unpublished essays exposes the global victimization of child slaves from the period of abolition of legal slavery in the nineteenth century to the human rights era of the twentieth century. It contributes to the growing recognition that the s…

  • Children in Slavery through the Ages

    Gwyn Campbell, Joseph Calder Miller et al.BOOKChildren in Slavery Through the…2009Cited by: 27

    Significant numbers of the people enslaved throughout world history have been children. The vast literature on slavery has grown to include most of the history of this ubiquitous practice, but nearly all of it concentrates on the adult males whose strong bodies and laboring capacities preoccupied the masters of the modern Americas. Children in Slavery through the Ages examines the children among the enslaved across a significant range of earlier …

  • Le nouveau visage de l'esclavage au XXe siècle

    Open AccessSuzanne MiersARTICLECahiers d études africaines2005

    Au début du XXe siècle, l'esclavage de possession était illégal en Occident mais très répandu dans toute l'Afrique, au Moyen-Orient et dans d'autres régions. Les esclaves n'avaient aucun droit et leur asservissement était à vie et héréditaire. Dans les années 1920 et 1930, la Société des Nations (SDN) mit en place des commissions pour s'informer sur l'esclavage « sous toutes ces formes ». Ces commissions élargirent la définition de l'esclavage po…

  • Grant, Kevin. – A Civilized Savagery

    Open AccessSuzanne MiersARTICLECahiers d études africaines2005

    Much has already been written on the humanitarian movements, particularly the antislavery movement, and on the iniquities of colonial rule in Africa, but Kevin Grant’s is a book with a difference. It literally dissects and traces the history of the humanitarian movements, which exposed these iniquities and were ultimately responsible for the signing of the League of Nations Slavery Convention in 1930. He begins by identifying three ideological st…

  • Becoming a Child of the House

    Open AccessJustin Willis, Suzanne MiersARTICLEThe Journal of African History1997Cited by: 10

    The last twenty years have seen a series of studies dealing, at least in part, with the nineteenth-century history of slavery at the East African coast. Each has, in its own way, focused on transformations associated with changing patterns of accumulation in the nineteenth century. If there has been a general theme it is of the increasing constraints placed upon slaves and the increasing demands made on them, as owners sought to reorganize labour…
