Focusing on the need for a broader understanding of global slavery, this work critiques existing models that heavily rely on antebellum American slavery. It emphasizes the importance of connecting the history of slavery to the institution of empires, highlighting how historical perspectives evolve. The author advocates for incorporating diverse sources that reflect the lives and thoughts of the enslaved across time, arguing that these voices should significantly influence our conceptualization of global slavery throughout history.
