How does contemporary slavery, as described in Kevin Bales�s Disposable People, fit with its historical antecedent? What are the similarities, and what are the differences? Are the examples of contemporary slavery described by Bales similar to or distinct from Paul Lovejoy�s historical definition of the term? How does contemporary slavery compare with the historical examples from the sources listed below: the sugar plantations of Jamaica and the French Antilles, and the tobacco, cotton, and sugar plantations of the United States? Is the legal status of slavery different today, and if so, what does this mean for the following issues: 1) where and how slaves were �recruited�; 2) living conditions, including subsistence, sexuality, and possibilities for travel, socializing, and leisure; 3) where and how labor was utilized�i.e., in what kinds of activities and in what kinds of enterprises; 4) the negative and positive ways slaves were coerced; 5) and the possibilities for resistance, escape, manumission or emancipation. In each case you must explain your answer thoroughly, and explicitly link it to evidence from the following sources-
