Abstract

The Slave Trade and Culture in the Bight of Biafra dissects and explains the structure, dramatic expansion, and manifold effects of the slave trade in the Bight of Biafra. By showing that the rise of the Aro merchant group was the key factor in trade expansion, G. Ugo Nwokeji reinterprets why and how such large-scale commerce developed in the absence of large-scale centralized states. The result is the first study to link the structure and trajectory of the slave trade in a major exporting region to the expansion of a specific African merchant group - among other fresh insights into Atlantic Africa's involvement in the trade - and the most comprehensive treatment of Atlantic slave trade in the Bight of Biafra. The fundamental role of culture in the organization of trade is highlighted, transcending the usual economic explanations in a way that complicates traditional generalizations about work, domestic slavery, and gender in pre-colonial Africa.

Abstract

La libertad, antónimo de la esclavitud, fue el objectivo esencial de vida de aquellos seres humanos sometidos a tan aberrante práctica. Distintas fueron las formas que, tanto ellos y quienes por motivos diversos los alentaron, usaron para obtener su propósito, que a fin de cuentas era ineludible. Esta recopilación es muestra de algunas de las vías por las que los esclavos lograron sus fines. El itinerario seguido para obtener la libertad habría de ser difícil, los obstáculos, muchas veces vistos como insalvables, sin embargo fueron vencidos con acciones de participación directa que involucraba la violencia, hasta la sutil intervención que con ingenio y astucia desplegaron quienes carentes de todo pusieron en este propósito toda su imaginación e ingenio. Acciones comunes que se repiten sin límites fronterizos con fines similares, pero que a pesar de ello adquieren rasgos propios de su entorno, entre otros muchos: las formas de dominio y la cohabitación étnica. En esta breve muestra se recogen experiencias iberoamericanas acaecidas en periodos diferentes que cubren desde los tempranos destellos de rebelión del siglo XVI hasta las luchas sistematizadas del siglo XVIII. Juan Manuel de la Serna H., investigador de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, asignado al Centro de Investigaciones sobre América Latina y el Caribe tiene como líneas de investigación la historia social regional de México y el Caribe. Ha trabajado sobre la esclavitud de los africanos y sus descendientes desde varias perspectivas.

Abstract

"Rome was a slave society. Beyond the thousands of slaves who worked and lived in the heartland of the Roman Empire, slavery fundamentally shaped Roman society and culture. In this book, Sandra Joshel offers a comprehensive overview of Roman slavery. Using a variety of sources, including literature, law, and material culture, she examines the legal condition of Roman slaves, traces the stages of the sale of slaves, analyzes the relations between slaves and slaveholders, and details the social and family lives of slaves. Richly illustrated with images of slaves, captives, and the material conditions of slaves, this book also considers food, clothing, and housing of slaves, thereby locating slaves in their physical surroundings , the cook in the kitchen, the maid in her owner,s bedroom, the smith in a workshop, and the farm laborer in a vineyard. Based on rigorous scholarship, Slavery in Roman Society serves as a lively, accessible account to introductory-level students of the ancient Mediterranean world"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

In 1846 two slaves, Dred and Harriet Scott, filed petitions for their freedom in the Old Courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. As the first true civil rights case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, Dred Scott v. Sandford raised issues that have not been fully resolved despite three amendments to the Constitution and more than a century and a half of litigation. The Dred Scott Case: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Race and Law presents original research and the reflections of the nation's leading scholars who gathered in St. Louis to mark the 150th anniversary of what was arguably th
