From Captivity to Freedom: Themes in Ancient and Modern Slavery

edited by Constantina Katsari and Enrico Dal Lago

Following on from their early CUP volume Slave Systems, Katsari and Dal Lago again assemble a cast of contributors to take a comparative look at societies, ancient and modern, which were dependent on slave labour. Where the earlier volume was primarily methodological in character, these essays look at specific issues and events, and each broad topic is illustrated by one ancient and one modern essay. The topics are: Captives and Slaves, Female Slaves, Slave Rebellions, and Freedom after Slavery. The papers continue to demonstrate the usefulness of this comparative approach. 171p (Leicester UP 2008)
