Drawing from a lecture series organized by the Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies (BCDSS) and the Center for Religion and Society (ZERG) at the University of Bonn, the volume examines 'asymmetrical dependencies'?social, legal, economic, and spiritual relationships where one party exerts control over another. Contributions analyze diverse contexts, including ancient Israel, Tibetan Buddhism, early Christianity, and colonialism, to illustrate how religion has shaped human interactions and power dynamics. The book is intended for scholars and students of religious studies, history, sociology, and cultural studies, offering insights into the complex role of religion in both perpetuating and mitigating oppression.$7Generated by AI. 410 0$aDependency and Slavery Studies 606 $aSlavery 606 $aReligion 615 0$aSlavery. 615 0$aReligion. 676 $a306.362 700 $aKinzig$b Wolfram$0625683 701 $aLoose$b Barbara$01782939 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996635570103316 996 $aControl, Coercion, and Constraint$94309580 997 $aUNISA
