Handbuch Geschichte der Sklaverei
Eine Globalgeschichte von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart
[Handbook of the History of Slavery]
- A reference work on all forms and types of slavery from 12,000 BC to the present day
- The local context of each form of slavery is analyzed – with particular attention devoted to the names given to slavery
- The first general history of slavery in the broader sense
Aims and Scope
This handbook is the first publication to systematically present the history of slavery in the context of global history. The point of departure is an understanding of slavery as the capitalization of the human body. The most diverse types of slavery are analyzed – on all continents, under its respective names and in its historical context. This broad empirical basis leads to a history of slavery beginning around 10,000 BC and continuing to the present day.
