About this title
The depth of analysis of on-the-ground practices of labor coercion in Slavery by Any Other Name is a major contribution, and the picture one gets of the positions of Portuguese administrators and African chiefs, caught in the middle of an iniquitous system, is illuminating. The archival evidence deployed here is likewise impressive.
