NEWArrested Development:Discrimination and slavery in the 21st Century
Discrimination is a pivotal part of slavery because it allows people to disengage their humanity and justify or tolerate the violation of other people's human rights. Discrimination also limits certain groups' access to education, jobs and healthcare, leaving them to subsist at the margins of society where they are extremely vulnerable to enslavement as they look for ways to provide for themselves and their families. This publication highlights what action needs to be taken by governments and other international agencies to ensure that every human being - without exception - should be able to live a life free from slavery.

1807-2007: Over 200 years of campaigning against slavery
This publication gives an overview of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and considers the factors that led isolated voices of protest to develop into a popular movement in less than 20 years, helping to bring about the abolition of the slave trade in 1807. It also traces how after the end of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, new forms of slavery began to manifest themselves and how they were challenged through popular campaigns and the development of international standards to prohibit them. It also considers what action needs to be taken to free the millions of people in slavery today.

Bury the Chains: The British struggle to abolish slavery
Eighteenth century Britain dominated the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Profits soared, merchants and shipowners built grand mansions and the handful of scattered protesters were regarded as harmless cranks. But in 1787 things began to change. Bury the Chains tells the remarkable story of the great popular crusade that, with dramatic swiftness, brought the question of slavery to the very heart of British political life.

Slavery in the Twentieth Century: The evolution of a global problem
Places modern slavery in its historical context, tracing the development of the international anti-slavery movement through the last 100 years. This book demonstrates how the problems of eradication seem greater and more intractable today than they have ever been, showing how slavery has expanded from 1919 to 2000 to include new forms many times crueler than the chattel slavery so familiar to the public mind. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in world history, slavery, race and ethnic history, international human rights, and labour in the world economy.
