Eurasian Slavery, Ransom and Abolition in World History, 1200-1860 (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Witzenrath, Christoph

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Recent research has demonstrated that early modern slavery was much more widespread than the traditional concentration on colonial plantation slavery might suggest. This volume provides both an overview and snapshot of current research on the history of captivity, slavery, ransom and abolition in the vicinity of the Eurasian steppe from the early modern period to modern times. The contributions centre on the Russian Empire, while bringing together scholars from various historical traditions of the leading states in this region, including Poland-Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire, and their various successor states.
