By the end of the fifteenth century, black Africans comprised as much as 40 percent of the slave population of Valencia.Whereas previous historians of medieval slavery have focused their efforts on defining the legal status of slaves, documenting the vagaries of the Mediterranean slave trade, or examining slavery within the context of Muslim-Christian relations, Debra Blumenthal explores the social and human dimensions of slavery in this religiously and ethnically pluralistic society. Enemies and Familiars traces the varied experiences of Muslim, Eastern, and black African slaves from capture to freedom. After describing how men, women, and children were enslaved and brought to the Valencian marketplace, this book examines the substance of slaves' daily lives: how they were sold and who bought them; the positions ascribed to them within the household hierarchy; the sorts of labor they performed; and the ways in which some reclaimed their freedom. Scrutinizing a wide array of archival sources (including wills, contracts, as well as hundreds of civil and criminal court cases), Blumenthal investigates what it meant to be a slave and what it meant to be a master at a critical moment of transition.Arguing that the dynamics of the master-slave relationship both reflected and determined contemporary opinions regarding religious, ethnic, and gender differences, Blumenthal's close study of the day-to-day interactions between masters and their slaves not only reveals that slavery played a central role in identity formation in late medieval Iberia but also offers clues to the development of "racialized" slavery in the early modern Atlantic world. 410 0$aConjunctions of religion & power in the medieval past. 606 $aSlavery$zSpain$zValencia (Region)$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aEnslaved persons$zSpain$zValencia (Region)$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSlaveholders$zSpain$zValencia (Region)$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMaster and servant$zSpain$zValencia (Region)$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 615 0$aEnslaved persons$xHistory 615 0$aSlaveholders$xHistory 615 0$aMaster and servant$xHistory 676 $a306.3/6209467609024 700 $aBlumenthal$b Debra$f1969-$01217050 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781202603321 996 $aEnemies and familiars$92814437 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01389nas 2200445- 450 001 9910895790303321 005 20230522010532.0 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2570743-7 035 $a(OCoLC)971912246 035 $a(CKB)1000000000791784 035 $a(CONSER)--2022242509 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000791784 100 $a20120227a20089999 --- - 101 0 $atur 135 $aurmnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aUluslararas? iktisadi ve idari incelemeler dergisi 210 1$aTrabzon, Turkey :$cKenan Çel?k,$d2008- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 08$a1307-9832 517 1 $aInternational journal of economics and administrative studies 517 1 $aInternational journal of economics & administrative studies 517 1 $aIJEAS 517 1 $aUIIID 606 $aEconomics$vPeriodicals 606 $aÉconomie politique$vPériodiques 606 $aEconomics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00902116 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aEconomics 615 6$aÉconomie politique 615 7$aEconomics. 712 02$aKaradeniz Teknik Üniversitesi, 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910895790303321 996 $aUluslararas? iktisadi ve idari incelemeler dergisi$94248174 997 $aUNINA
