these rights to indigenous victims. Overall, Reséndez offers a powerful and well-researched argument for the centrality of the other slavery in constituting and shaping the long historical relationships between indigenous people and European colonisers in north America. Moreover, the history of indigenous slavery in the Southwest reveals that the shift from Spanish and Mexican sovereignty to US rule did not disrupt patterns of indigenous labour exploitation, and Reséndez’s analysis of the ever-shifting shape of the other slavery illuminates how many present-day forms of slavery enact mechanisms of bondage and coercion that have existed for centuries. Masterfully written, this work provides new insights on indigenous slavery to students and scholars alike.
