Drawing on the rich archives of the Court of Justice of Cochin, a
main settlement of the Dutch East India Company, this book presents
ten court cases that deal with themes of enslavement and
'enslavebility'. Offering detailed insights into interrogations and
testimonies, they paint a unique picture of the complex historical
realities in which processes of enslavement and relations of
slavery were shaped. Each original Dutch transcript is followed by
an English translation, shedding light on the interactions between
local systems of bondage and global systems of commodified slavery,
and providing a new perspective on the global history of
slavery.Analysing slavery in the Indian Ocean and South Asia, these
case studies examine the dynamics of bondage, caste and social
control, while offering a counterpoint to the traditional focus on
Atlantic slavery.
