A Century of Emancipation
A Century of Emancipation, written by the English anti-slavery campaigner John Harris and first published in 1933, represents an invaluable compendium for the student of slavery and its allied forms of contract labor and forced labor, both in their historical setting and in their contemporary aspects. In this book, the author is concerned with all kind of slavery, including that of East Indians and Mongolians in the West Indies, of Kanakas in Polynesia, and of the motley crowd along the Putumayo River in South America.

Don't Call Me Lady
This biography tells the true story of one of history's forgotten women, a Englishwoman named Alice Seeley Harris who has also been called the Mother of Human Rights. She has been hidden by her husband's shadow since she started her African journey near the end of the Victorian era, but now her story is brought to light by author Judy Pollard Smith in Don't Call Me Lady: The Journey of Lady Alice Seeley Harris. Armed with her Bible, zeal, and a camera, Harris arrived in the steaming African jungle of Congo and documented the worst atrocities known to humanity. She captured enough evidence on her glass lantern slides to bring down the Belgian King Leopold, who ruled the colony of the Congo Free State. In this biography, Smith uses imagined conversations based on in-depth research to tell Harris's story of her work. She also provides questions that allow her book to be used in classes or discussion groups. The world gave credit to the men in this story, but Smith provides evidence that it was the young, English missionary and photographer whose bravery truly changed history.

Campaigning for Life
Dorothy Buxton led an unusual and intense life. After an upbringing untypical for a girl in rural Victorian England, she found her voice and her vocation during the First World War, insisting people should be able to read a variety of voices on the conflict engulfing Europe. After the war ended, when hunger and deprivation were widespread in many countries, she blazed a trial as a campaigner for the underprivileged. She was the instigator of the Save the Children Fund in 1919 and became a tireless campaigner for refugees and the oppressed wherever she saw them during the next decades. Her life was led during times of social and political upheaval. After the relative calm of the late Victoria...
