Note(s) : Ref. bibliogr. Index. - "Most societies in the past have had slaves, and almost all peoples have at some
time in their pasts been both slaves as well as owners of slaves. Recent decades have
seen a significant increase in our understanding of the historical role played by
slavery and wide interest across a range of academic disciplines in the evolution
of the institution. Exciting and innovative research methodologies have been developed,
and numerous fruitful debates generated. Further, the study of slavery has come to
provide strong connections between academic research and the wider public interest
at a time when such links have in general been weak. The Cambridge World History of
Slavery responds to these trends by providing for the first time, in four volumes,
a comprehensive global history of this widespread phenomenon from the ancient world
to the present day. Volume I surveys the history of slavery in the ancient Mediterranean
world. Although chapters are devoted to the ancient Near East and the Jews, its principal
concern is with the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. These are often considered
as the first examples in world history of genuine slave societies because of the widespread
prevalence of chattel slavery, which is argued to have been a cultural manifestation
of the ubiquitous violence in societies typified by incessant warfare"
