Egyptian Deportations of the Late Bronze Age explores the political
economy of deportations in New Kingdom Egypt (ca. 1550-1070 BCE)
from an interdisciplinary angle. The analysis of ancient Egyptian
primary source material and the international correspondence of the
time draws a comprehensive picture of the complex and far-reaching
policies. The dataset reveals their geographic scope, economic and
demographic impact in Egypt and abroad as well as their
interconnection with territorial expansion, international
relations, and labour management. The supply chain, profiting
institutions and individuals in Egypt as the well as the labour
tasks, origins and the composition of the deportees are discussed
in detail. A comparative analytical framework integrates the
Egyptian policies with a review of deportation discourses as well
as historical premodern and modern cases and enables a global and
diachronic understanding of the topic. The study is thus the first
systematic investigation of deportations in ancient Egyptian
history and offers new insights into Egyptian governance that
revise previous assessments of the role of forced migration und
unfree labour in ancient Egyptian society and their long-term
effects.
