Joseph C. Miller turns this classic question on its head by rethinking the very nature of slavery, arguing that it must be viewed generally as a process rather than as an institution. Tracing the global history of slaving over thousands of years, Miller reveals the shortcomings of Western narratives that define slavery by the same structures and power relations regardless of places and times, concluding instead that slaving is a process which can be understood fully only as imbedded in changing circumstances. 410 0$aDavid Brion Davis series. 606 $aSlavery$xHistoriography 606 $aSlavery$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xHistoriography. 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 676 $a306.36209 700 $aMiller$b Joseph Calder$0244112 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819162503321 996 $aThe problem of slavery as history$94085764 997 $aUNINA
