Winner of the Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Award,
American Sociological Association Co-Winner of the Ralph J. Bunche
Award, American Political Science Association In a work of
prodigious scholarship and enormous breadth, which draws on the
tribal, ancient, premodern, and modern worlds, Orlando Patterson
discusses the internal dynamics of slavery in sixty-six societies
over time. These include Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, China,
Korea, the Islamic kingdoms, Africa, the Caribbean islands, and the
American South. Praise for the previous edition: “Densely packed,
closely argued, and highly controversial in its dissent from much
of the scholarly conventional wisdom about the function and
structure of slavery worldwide.” —Boston Globe “There can be
no doubt that this rich and learned book will reinvigorate debates
that have tended to become too empirical and specialized. Patterson
has helped to set out the direction for the next decades of
interdisciplinary scholarship.” —David Brion Davis, New York
Review of Books “This is clearly a major and important work, one
which will be widely discussed, cited, and used. I anticipate that
it will be considered among the landmarks in the study of slavery,
and will be read by historians, sociologists, and
anthropologists—as well as many other scholars and students.”
—Stanley Engerman
