While the plantation accounts for 90% of slave ownership and
experience in the Americas, its centrality to the common
conceptions of slavery has arguably led to an oversimplified
understanding of its multifarious forms and complex dynamics in the
region. The Many Faces of Slavery explores non-traditional forms of
slavery that existed outside the plantation system to illustrate
the pluralities of slave ownership and experiences in the Americas,
from the 17th to the 19th century. Through a wide range of
innovative and multi-disciplined approaches, the book's chapters
explore the existence of urban slavery, slave self-hiring,
quasi-free or nominal slaves, domestic slave concubines, slave
vendors, slave soldiers and sailors, slave preachers, slave
overseers, and many other types of "societies with slaves."
Moreover, it documents unconventional forms of slave ownership like
slave-holding by poor whites, women, free blacks, Native Americans,
Jewish Americans, corporations and the state. The Many Faces of
Slavery broadens our traditional conception of slavery by
complicating our understanding of slave experience and ownership in
slavery-practising societies throughout Atlantic history.
