Informed by the global history of slavery, Kostas Vlassopoulos
avoids traditional approaches to slavery as a static institution
and instead explores the diverse strategies and various contexts in
which it was employed. In doing so he offers a new historicist
approach to the study of slave identity and the various networks
and communities that slaves created or participated in. Instead of
seeing slaves merely as passive objects of exploitation and
domination, his focus is on slave agency and the various ways in
which they played an active role in the history of ancient
societies. Vlassopoulos examines slavery not only as an economic
and social phenomenon, but also in its political, religious and
cultural ramifications. A comparative framework emerges as he
examines Greek and Roman slaveries alongside other slaving systems
in the Near East, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
