      title = {Indian Ocean slavery in the age of abolition /},
      abstract = {"While the British were able to accomplish abolition in  the trans-Atlantic world by the end of the nineteenth  century, their efforts paradoxically caused a great  increase in legal and illegal slave trading in the western  Indian Ocean. Bringing together essays from leading  authorities in the field of slavery studies, this  comprehensive work offers an original and creative study of  slavery and abolition in the Indian Ocean world during this  period. Among the topics discussed are the relationship  between British imperialism and slavery, Islamic law and  slavery, and the bureaucracy of slave trading. Robert Harms  is the Henry J. Heinz Professor of History and African  Studies at Yale University. Bernard K. Freamon is professor  of law at Seton Hall Law School and director of the Law  Schools Zanzibar Program on Modern Day Slavery and Human  Trafficking. David W. Blight is professor of American  history and director of the Gilder Lehrman Center for the  Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale  University." - Publisher's description.},
