Each of the collections is introduced by an essay from the general editor, which comments on the contribution the essays make.

As such, it was a system of servitude driven essentially by free enterprise. The key context was European trans-oceanic expansion focused on the Atlantic world where labour was needed and labour was available but not at the same place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set is a re-issue originally published in 2006 and contains articles from 1940 onwards.
