DESCRIPTION:“Andres Reséndez vividly recounts the harrowing story of a previously 
 little-known aspect of the histories of American slavery and of encounters  
 between indigenes and invaders.” — Publishers Weekly\n\nThe Other 
 Slavery: Indian Enslavement in America Is an eye-opening, landmark history 
 of the enslavement of tens of thousands of Native Americans across America, 
 from the time of the conquistadores to the early 20th century. This is a 
 key missing chapter of American history. Resendez offers a startling 
 contemporary insight: today’s global human trafficking has its roots less 
 in the black slavery we have studied since grade school, and more in the 
 other  slavery we have failed to see.\n\nUnlike African slavery, Native 
 American slavery was technically illegal on most of the American continent 
 since the time of Columbus. Practiced as an open secret for centuries, 
 there was no abolitionist movement to protect the indigenous people who 
 were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadores throughout the 18th 
 Century, or made to serve Mormon settlers and other Anglos as servants. 
 Resendez builds the incisive, original case that mass slavery was more 
 damaging than the disease epidemics that decimated indigenous populations 
 across North America. He also sheds light on how and why the European 
 enslaving incited Native Americans to enslave their own, through compelling 
 anecdotes from priests, merchants, Indian captives, and Anglo colonists. 
 What started as a European business passed into the hands of indigenous 
 operators and spread across the entire American Southwest.\n\nEvery now and 
 then a new book comes along that...makes us see ourselves\n
