"Research on the slave trade and its abolition in the Indian Ocean world of Africa and Asia remains slight in comparison to examination of the Atlantic slave trade. In this work, Campbell (history, McGill U., Canada) presents 12 history essays that go some small ways towards filling this gap. The geographic scope includes Mauritius, Madagascar, Somalia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, India, and the Philippines and the issues discussed include the relationship of movements towards abolition to such factors as: the growth of international industrialization, demographic labor trends, indigenous resistance to slavery, slave runaways and revolts, Western influences, and other sources of unfree labor such as penal labor and indentured servitude." --Reference & Research Book News
