Rust colored endpapers. 374 pp 8vo. The author provides a penetrating survey of slavery and emancipation from ancient times to the twentieth century. His trenchant analysis puts the most recent international debates about freedom and human rights into much-needed perspective. He shows that slavery was once regarded as a form of human progress, playing a critical role in the expansion of the Western World. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that views of slavery as a retrograde institution gained far-reaching acceptance. Davis illuminates this momentous historical shift from "progressive" enslavement to "progressive" emancipation, ranging over an array of important developments--from the slave trade of early Muslims and Jews to twentieth-century debates over slavery in the League of Nations and the United Nations. In probing the intricate connections among slavery, emancipation, and the idea of progress, the author sheds new light on two crucial issues: the human capacity for dignifying acts of oppression and the problem of implementing social change. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket. N° de réf. du vendeur 020726
