This groundbreaking book reconceptualizes slavery through the voices of enslaved persons themselves, voices that have remained silent in the narratives of conventional history. Focusing in particular on the Islamic Middle East from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, Ehud R. Toledano examines how bonded persons experienced enslavement in Ottoman societies. He draws on court records and a variety of other unexamined primary sources to uncover important new information about the Africans and Circassians who were forcibly removed from their own societies and transplanted to Middle East cultures that were alien to them. Toledano also considers the experiences of these enslaved people within the context of the global history of slavery.The book looks at the bonds of slavery from an original perspective, moving away from the traditional master/slave domination paradigm toward the point of view of the enslaved and their responses to their plight. With keen and original insights, Toledano suggests new ways of thinking about enslavement.

Aphra Behn's novel Oroonoko (1688) is one of the most widely studied works of seventeenth-century literature, because of its powerful representation of slavery and complex portrayal of ways in which differing races and cultures - European, Black African, and Native American - observe and misinterpret each other. This edition presents a new edition of Oroonoko, with unprecedentedly full and informative commentary, along with complete texts of three major British seventeenth-century works concerned with race and colonialism: Henry Neville's The Isle of Pines (1668), Behn's Abdelazer (1676), and Thomas Southerne's tragedy Oroonoko (1696). It combines these with a rich anthology of European discussions of slavery, racial difference, and colonial conquest from the mid-sixteenth century to the time of Behn's death. Many are taken from important works that have not hitherto been easily available, and the collection offers an unrivaled resource for studying the culture that produced Britain's first major fictions of slavery.

This 2007 book is an introductory history of racial slavery in the Americas. Brazil and Cuba were among the first colonial societies to establish slavery in the early sixteenth century. Approximately a century later British colonial Virginia was founded, and slavery became an integral part of local culture and society. In all three nations, slavery spread to nearly every region, and in many areas it was the principal labor system utilized by rural and urban elites. Yet long after it had been abolished elsewhere in the Americas, slavery stubbornly persisted in the three nations. It took a destructive Civil War in the United States to bring an end to racial slavery in the southern states in 1865. In 1866 slavery was officially ended in Cuba, and in 1888 Brazil finally abolished this dreadful institution, and legalized slavery in the Americas came to an end.

"Slavery in the Great Lakes Region of East Africa looks at the perceptions of one of the main themes of African history: slavery. There was no single form of slavery, and the line between enslaved and nonslave labor was fine. This book challenges the assertion that domestic slavery increased in Africa as the result of the international trade."--Provided by publisher.

Le propos de cet ouvrage est de présenter les relations ayant existé entre maîtres du sol et producteurs sur la longue période qui s'étend de la période carolingienne aux grandes révoltes paysannes des XIVe et XVe siècles. La conjoncture générale d'augmentation des ressources disponibles et donc d'accroissement de la richesse générale de la société occidentale n'a pas fini de livrer ses secrets ni de susciter l'intérêt. Elle repose en partie sur l'édification de structures originales d'organisation de la production et de contrôle des travailleurs que l'on résume sous le vocable de seigneurie ou de régime seigneurial. Ces structures, qui sont fortement coercitives, n'empêchent pas, au contraire, une société paysanne originale de se développer et de s'enrichir, certes lentement, mais réellement. A partir du XIIIe siècle, toutefois, les tensions s'accroissent. Les seigneurs connaissent une importante baisse de leurs revenus, ce qui constitue l'un des éléments essentiels de la crise des XIVe et XVe siècles. Cela a pour conséquence, dans de nombreuses régions, d'entraîner un phénomène de dépossession des paysanneries dont l'accès à la propriété du sol devient de plus en plus difficile. On se propose, en examinant les statuts des hommes, l'organisation du travail, les hiérarchies sociales réellement efficaces de présenter l'histoire de cet enrichissement général du monde occidental ainsi que celle de la crise qui clôt le Moyen Age occidental.
