The Cambridge World History of Slavery: Volume 4, AD 1804–AD 2016

Slavery and coerced labor have been among the most ubiquitous of human institutions both in time - from ancient times to the present - and in place, having existed in virtually all geographic areas and societies. This volume covers the period from the independence of Haiti to modern perceptions of slavery by assembling twenty-eight original essays, each written by scholars acknowledged as leaders in their respective fields. Issues discussed include the sources of slaves, the slave trade, the social and economic functioning of slave societies, the responses of slaves to enslavement, efforts to abolish slavery continuing to the present day, the flow of contract labor and other forms of labor control in the aftermath of abolition, and the various forms of coerced labor that emerged in the twentieth century under totalitarian regimes and colonialism. Most Societies In The Past Have Had Slaves, And Almost All Peoples Have At Some Time In Their Pasts Been Both Slaves As Well As Owners Of Slaves. Recent Decades Have Seen A Significant Increase In Our Understanding Of The Historical Role Played By Slavery And Wide Interest Across A Range Of Academic Disciplines In The Evolution Of The Institution. Exciting And Innovative Research Methodologies Have Been Developed, And Numerous Fruitful Debates Generated. Further, The Study Of Slavery Has Come To Provide Strong Connections Between Academic Research And The Wider Public Interest At A Time When Such Links Have In General Been Weak. The Cambridge World History Of Slavery Responds To These Trends By Providing For The First Time, In Four Volumes, A Comprehensive Global History Of This Widespread Phenomenon From The Ancient World To The Present Day. Volume I Surveys The History Of Slavery In The Ancient Mediterranean World. Although Chapters Are Devoted To The Ancient Near East And The Jews, Its Principal Concern Is With The Societies Of Ancient Greece And Rome. These Are Often Considered As The First Examples In World History Of Genuine Slave Societies Because Of The Widespread Prevalence Of Chattel Slavery, Which Is Argued To Have Been A Cultural Manifestation Of The Ubiquitous Violence In Societies Typified By Incessant Warfare--provided By Publisher.
