Exploring the major historiographical, theoretical, and
methodological approaches that have shaped studies on slavery, this
addition to the Writing History series highlights the varied ways
that historians have approached the fluid and complex systems of
human bondage, domination, and exploitation that have developed in
societies across the world. The first part examines more recent
attempts to place slavery in a global context, touching on contexts
such as religion, empire, and capitalism. In its second part, the
book looks closely at the key themes and methods that emerge as
historians reckon with the dynamics of historical slavery. These
range from politics, economics and quantitative analyses, to race
and gender, to pyschohistory, history from below, and many more.
Throughout, examples of slavery and its impact are considered
across time and place: in Ancient Greece and Rome, Medieval Europe,
colonial Asia, Africa, and the Americas, and trades throughout the
Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Also taken into account are thinkers
from Antiquity to the 20th century and the impact their ideas have
had on the subject and the debates that follow. This book is
essential reading for students and scholars at all levels who are
interested in not only the history of slavery but in how that
history has come to be written and how its debates have been framed
across civilizations.
