I do not consider myself a scholar or expert of any type, just someone who is interested in how the history of slavery effected changes in cultures. I found that this book was very impressive with the amount of information that it covered. It was easy to read, the structure allowed me to follow the timelines in a very natural way. I did not feel the book was formal and condascending in its approach to presenting the information. I felt that the book would benefit adults and younger students alike. There is such a wealth of world history inside this book. The illustrations were a great complement to the printed information as well. Overall, I think this a great book to learn from.
If you are spending lots of time trying to research and analyze history----this is the reference manual that can make your life easier. The author has painstakingly complied an enormous library of information in an easy to absorb format. The layout of this book is really helpful in quickly locating certain historical figures and conflicts. The amount of research Junius Rodriguez has done is very impressive as he gives a worldwide panorama of history, highlighting many important incidents often overlooked because they are overshadowed by more famous people and places. This book belongs in every library as many students and teachers will want to reach for it to assist in their research.
This is an amazing book. Goes through the whole history of Slavery all over the world. This book has great a look too. Great buy!
