Description

The extremely violent era of 1914-1945 instigated an unexpected reversal of the progress of abolition and a spectacular resurrection of slavery. Neo-Slavery in the Era of World Wars offers a reinterpretation of the period by examining the reinvention of bondage on the European continent. Nationalists, communists, and fascists revived the militarism, torture, and mass murder that characterized previous slave societies in Africa, the Islamic world, and the Americas. The Western Allies, led by the UK and the USA, fought both to defend their nations and empires and to wage a new abolitionist struggle which laid the foundations for the Cold War.

Michael Seidman is professor of history at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. His first book, Workers against Work (1991) has been translated into seven languages. Other publications include Republic of Egos (2002), The Imaginary Revolution (2004), The Victorious Counterrevolution (2011), and Transatlantic Antifascisms from the Spanish Civil War to the end of World War II (2017).
