In a compelling new take on the legacies of slavery, Sascha Auerbach explores the origins of the 'global labor market' in the wake of abolition. He recounts the experiences of those shipped across oceans on false pretences and forced to labor under appalling conditions, arguing that their struggles were ultimately key to the system's destruction.
