But long before race-based slavery was entrenched in law and practice, English men and women were well aware of the various forms of human bondage practiced in other nations and, in less systematic ways, their own country. They understood the legal and philosophic rationale of slavery in different cultural contexts and, for good reason, worried about the possibility of their own enslavement by foreign Catholic or Muslim powers. While opinions about the benefits and ethics of the institution varied widely, the language, imagery, and knowledge of slavery were a great deal more widespread in early modern England than we tend to assume. In wide-ranging detail, Slaves and Englishmen demonstrates how slavery shaped the ways the English interacted with people and places throughout the Atlantic world. By examining the myriad forms and meanings of human bondage in an international context, Michael Guasco illustrates the significance of slavery in the early modern world before the rise of the plantation system or the emergence of modern racism. As this revealing history shows, the implications of slavery were closely connected to the question of what it meant to be English in the Atlantic world. 410 0$aEarly modern Americas. 606 $aSlavery$zAtlantic Ocean Region$xHistory 606 $aSlavery$zUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 606 $aSlavery$zGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aAtlantic Ocean Region$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAmerica$xHistory$y17th century 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aEuropean History. 610 $aWorld History. 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 676 $a306.3/62 700 $aGuasco$b Michael$f1968-$01621010 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812781403321 996 $aSlaves and englishmen$93954116 997 $aUNINA
