Roots is good but extremely long. To Kill a Mocking Bird has nothing to do with slavery, unless you are talking about its aftermath in the pre-Civil Rights era. Brave New World is an interesting choice, as is 1984, but I think it's pushing the definition.
The best books I have read have been personal, non-fiction accounts:
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs is good and from U.S. history.
Escape from Slavery by Francis Bok relates to modern slavery in the Sudan.
Beasts of No Nation by Uzodinma Iweala relates to child soldiers in modern times, which one might consider a form of slavery.

This is not a typical answer, but "Brave New World" and "1984" show what slavery could be like in the future by taking what is already known about slavery and adapting it for technological advances and society changes.

"an interesting narrative" by Gustavus Vassa/Olanduah Equiano is always a good one to read.written by a former slave, it helped with the britiah abolishionist movement.
