Description

Slavery: A Cross-Cultural Examination By David M. Turley This comprehensive study explores the history and nature of slavery across various regions and historical periods, from ancient Greece and Rome to medieval Europe, Muslim societies in the Middle East and Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Americas. Turley examines three key themes in the history of slavery: its social and economic significance within societies, the experiences of both slaves and those who control them, and the mechanisms by which slavery was reproduced and maintained. The author also discusses how race, ethnicity, and religious differences contributed to the functioning of slave systems. The book concludes with an analysis of emancipation, revealing connections between the expansion and ending of slavery and different phases of European imperialism.
