The European Experience in Slavery, 1650-1850

The European Experience in Slavery assembles experts on the repercussions of the transatlantic as well as Mediterranean slave trade in different countries of early modern Europe for the first time, demonstrating that human trafficking was indeed a pan-European phenomenon. Focusing on entanglements between slavery and other forms of dependency, this collection shows how the former was woven into the fabric of early modern European society.
