Unprecedented in scope and approach, the Chronology features: -- Seven separate chronologies covering major world regions and eras -- 128 sidebars, each with its own bibliography, written by 44 eminent scholars -- 80 primary source documents from diverse time periods -- 120 black-and-white illustrations and 5 maps -- Preface, introduction, and general index Chronology of World Slavery is the ideal companion to The Historical Encyclopedia of World Slavery and shares that publication's distinguished editorial board.
