THE EUROPEAN LEGACY: TOWARD NEW PARADIGMS

CALL FOR PAPERS

THE EUROPEAN LEGACY: TOWARD NEW PARADIGMS
Journal of ISSEI Special Issue on slavery
publication 2006

The question of slavery still looms high during the twenty-first 
century. It is
history, yet is still very much present in many of the modern societies of
today. Slavery is not just the owning of a person or persons but has now 
evolved
to take on may different forms, many of which may seem benign, but 
affect people
in profound ways.

In the past, the focus on slavery has basically been historical. But these
efforts have largely ignored the legacy slavery has played in the cultural,
societal, political and economic formation of areas such as the Pacific, 
Asia,
Middle East, internal Africa and Europe. Slavery has played and still 
plays a
pivotal role in many of these societies affecting more than 27 million 
people
world-wide.

This special issue of The European Legacy seeks to examine the mark 
slavery has
made and still makes throughout the world. The issue would like to attract
articles that examine such topics as, but not limited to: the economy of
slavery, literature of slavery, slave art, religion and slavery, slavery and
societal change, as well as articles about the historical implications 
on the
present day.

Final date of submission is December 15, 2005
