Colleagues, Four resources for learning more about slavery that I have found helpful:

1. Two books by Siddharth Kara - Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives (2024); Modern Slavery: A Global Perspective (2023)

2. 800+ page book on the history of slavery, published in 1858, that I found in a bookstore a few years ago, complete with multiple appendices and statistical tables. Essentially an abolitionist manifesto.

Editor: W. O. Blake

Publisher: J. H. Miller

3. Slave Trade Database,

Emory University
