Green examines Haiti’s remarkable fight for freedom and the difficult question of how stronger institutions, accountability, justice, and national unity can help shape its future.

Slavery, By Any Other Name, Still Stinks!
Slavery, By Any Other Name, Still Stinks! takes readers on a powerful journey through the history of slavery, resistance, rebellion, abolition, and the many forms of exploitation that have existed and continue to exist across the world.
From Spartacus and the Zanj Rebellion to the Haitian Revolution, Nat Turner’s Rebellion, the Amistad revolt, the Baptist War in Jamaica, and the struggle against modern human trafficking, this book explores how enslaved people repeatedly resisted systems built on oppression and the denial of human dignity.
But slavery has never existed under just one name.
The book examines the different systems that have been used to exploit human beings, including chattel slavery, serfdom, indentured servitude, bonded labor, forced labor, convict leasing, sharecropping, peonage, domestic servitude, child labor, prison labor, human trafficking, and sexual slavery.
With historical examples spanning Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Americas, the book asks readers to look beyond familiar narratives of slavery and recognize how systems of forced labor and exploitation have changed their names and appearances throughout history.
Most importantly, this is a story of resistance. The rebellions and movements discussed throughout these pages demonstrate the courage, leadership, organization, and determination of people who fought for freedom, justice, and dignity.
The struggle did not end with formal abolition. Modern forms of forced labor, human trafficking, bonded labor, and child exploitation demonstrate that the fight against exploitation remains relevant today.
A thought-provoking historical overview for readers who want to understand not only how slavery shaped the past, but how its legacy and related systems of exploitation continue to affect the present.
