A prominent Mediterranean port located near Islamic territories, the city of Valencia in the late fifteenth century boasted a slave population of pronounced religious and ethnic diversity: captive Moors and penally enslaved Mudejars, Greeks, Tartars, Russians, Circassians, and a growing population of black Africans. By the end of the fifteenth century, black Africans comprised as much as 40 percent of the slave population of Valencia.Whereas previous historians of medieval slavery have focused their efforts on defining the legal status of slaves, documenting the vagaries of the Mediterranean slave trade, or examining slavery within the context of Muslim-Christian relations, Debra Blumenthal explores the social and human dimensions of slavery in this religiously and ethnically pluralistic society. Enemies and Familiars traces the varied experiences of Muslim, Eastern, and black African slaves from capture to freedom. After describing how men, women, and children were enslaved and brought to the Valencian marketplace, this book examines the substance of slaves' daily lives: how they were sold and who bought them; the positions ascribed to them within the household hierarchy; the sorts of labor they performed; and the ways in which some reclaimed their freedom. Scrutinizing a wide array of archival sources (including wills, contracts, as well as hundreds of civil and criminal court cases), Blumenthal investigates what it meant to be a slave and what it meant to be a master at a critical moment of transition.Arguing that the dynamics of the master-slave relationship both reflected and determined contemporary opinions regarding religious, ethnic, and gender differences, Blumenthal's close study of the day-to-day interactions between masters and their slaves not only reveals that slavery played a central role in identity formation in late medieval Iberia but also offers clues to the development of "racialized" slavery in the early modern Atlantic world.

Le présent volume contient les rapports écrits des orateurs de la conférence du 29 mars 2010, donnée à l'ULB dans le cadre du cycle UB3, abordant des aspects d'actualité du droit du bail. Les clauses du bail qui modifient la responsabilité des parties sont fréquentes et posent des problèmes qui méritaient une étude spécifique. François Glansdorff, avocat et professeur à l'ULB, a choisi d'étudier plus particulièrement les clauses limitatives ou exonératoires de la responsabilité du bailleur, auxquelles le praticien est souvent confronté. Le bien-fondé d'importantes décisions, en particulier de résiliation, prises par le bailleur ne peut être contrôlé ou apprécié qu'après coup. La question de la sincérité de ces décisions se pose donc d'entrée de jeu. Elle est examinée par Roland Hardy, avocat et assistant à l'ULB. Dans un contexte économique difficile, jalonné de mesures protectrices des entreprises et de leurs créanciers, le sort du bail est une question récurrente et controversée. Elle est examinée par Cédric Alter, avocat et assistant à l'ULB. Le leasing mobilier, qui s'appelle aussi location financement ou crédit bail, participe du droit du bail au sens large. François Bruyns, avocat, en est un spécialiste, qui livre ici le dernier état de la jurisprudence et de ses réflexions sur le sujet.

'Household and Class Relations' offers an adept and multifaceted look at modern peasant family relation- ships. With the perspectives of an anthropologist and sociologist as well as those of an economist, Deere brings a fresh approach to the classic question: how do households continue to exist as units of production and reproduction in the face of their growing proletarianization and impoverishment? She draws upon rich life histories as well as archival and survey research to provide a regional history of the northern Peruvian highland province of Cajamarca since the turn of the century. Beginning with an examination of the hacienda system in the first four decades of this century, 'Household and Class Relations' goes on to probe the development of agrarian capitalism in the postwar period and the peasant economy of the 1970s. With this background firmly in place, 'Household and Class Relations' then distinguishes itself through attention to the interaction between class and gender. Deere argues that the subordination of women has had high costs for the well-being of rural households, exacerbating peasant poverty. Further, she shows how peasant households have adopted a strategy of participating in multiple income generating activities in order to survive. Breaking new ground, her study examines how gender relations interact with class relations to explain social differentiation among peasants. This is an exciting and stimulating study that will appeal to Latin Americanists, scholars of women's studies, and economists. Wide-ranging and incisive, it will garner attention from many quarters.
