Produktbeschreibung

Despite its pervasive presence in the South Asian past, slavery is overlooked in the region's historiography. This work contributes to a rethinking of slavery in world history. It describes a range of sites and contexts covering more than a thousand years, foregrounding the life stories of individual slaves.
