In the early 1980s Igor Kopytoff concluded that “historical effort has been concentrated out of all reasonable proportion on Afro-American slavery and the Atlantic slave trade.” Despite some recent improvements, this remains true today. Igor Kopytoff, “Slavery,” Annual Review of Anthropology 11 (1982): 225. 14. See, for example, David Brion Davis, Slavery and Human Progress (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1984), 317–20; Robert William Fogel, Without Consent or Contract : The Rise and Fall of American Slavery (New York: Norton, 1989), 17. This is also reflected in popular textbooks on slavery. See Stanley Engerman, Seymour Drescher, and Robert Paquette, eds., Slavery (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2001), where only one of 186 entries is concerned with contemporary slavery, and Gad Heuman and James Walvin, The Slavery Reader (London: Routledge, 2003), where modern slavery is entirely absent. 15.
