Shackles of Iron: Slavery Beyond the Atlantic

Autor Stewart Gordon Editat de Alfred J. Andrea
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 feb 2016
"Gordon's survey of the topic makes it clear that slavery in the Americas can be understood much better if we put it in this larger context, in terms of both time and place. His chapters on East African and Mediterranean slavery are especially valuable, since these were contemporary with so-called Atlantic slavery and can provide students with valid points of comparison, revealing both the similarities and the variable nature of early-modern bondage. The final chapter is especially timely, reminding readers that much of what we think of as enslavement hasn't really gone away, but simply slipped below the radar of the world media. All in all, Gordon makes it clear that, though it has arisen in different guises and at many different times and places, slavery has been and remains deeply rooted in human society. A rewarding introduction for anyone looking to better understand slavery as a world-wide institution." -- Robert Davis, The Ohio State University

Recenzii

"For readers who equate the 'institution' narrowly with the Atlantic trade and the cotton-growing industry in the antebellum American South, this short introductory text broadly and viably sketches the ubiquity of slaving throughout world history. Gordon emphasizes the paradoxes of slavery and freedom thriving together in ancient Athens, the large and long-running trades from Africa across the Red Sea and around the Indian Ocean, and the reciprocal Christian-Muslim Mediterranean raiding for captives from the sixteenth to early nineteenth centuries. Each section includes four interestingly varied primary sources selected to provoke group discussion. Shackles of Iron offers instructors a lot to work with in a compact, accessible format." Joseph C. Miller, Emeritus, University of Virginia
