This journal focuses on the historical and contemporary dimensions of global slavery, examining its persistence in religious discourse, the agency of enslaved individuals, its financial enablement through industries like insurance, the use of music for communication and resistance, and the complex dynamics of slave trading and transportation across various regions including the Indian Ocean, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. It also highlights the importance of archival research and the development of new methodologies for understanding these historical phenomena.
