      abstract = {"Why did slavery--an accepted evil for thousands of  years--suddenly become regarded during the eighteenth  century as an abomination so compelling that Western  governments took up the cause of abolition in ways that  transformed the modern world? Joseph C. Miller turns this  classic question on its head by rethinking the very nature  of slavery, arguing that it must be viewed generally as a  process rather than as an institution. Tracing the global  history of slaving over thousands of years, Miller reveals  the shortcomings of Western narratives that define slavery  by the same structures and power relations regardless of  places and times, concluding instead that slaving is a  process which can be understood fully only as embedded in  changing circumstances."--Publisher's website.},
