Abstract:
Abstract The article deals with pre-Hispanic Nahua slavery. Based upon an examination of Nahua perception of slavery/slaves, Nahua forms of slavery (apart from the slaves destined for sacrifice there were slaves destined for work) and the social and legal position of Nahua slaves (destined for work) the author concludes that the Nahua institution traditionally called “slavery“ is different from its counterparts known from the history of Occident. Except for slaves destined for sacrifice to the gods which are discussed only briefly in the article, the Nahua slaves (i.e. the slaves destined for work) had a certain degree of personal freedom and certain rights. Becoming a slave at birth was possible only exceptionally and the enslavement of persons was in many cases (even if not in all cases) only temporary. The treatment of Nahua slaves – compared to the living conditions of their counterparts in many other world cultures – was significantly better, more humane. This can be seen from the fact that the master was entitled only to his/her slave’s labor and not to slave’s life, health, family members or property, as well as from the fact that the slave could obtain freedom in many ways, not only by the manumission made by his/her master. Although slaves were considered a kind of both physically and mentally “less perfect“ individuals who were “dirtied“, that is, morally tainted and dishonored by their enslavement and its reasons (mainly a delinquent behavior, i.e. non-payment of debts or perpetration of certain crimes), they were not systematically excluded from the wider society formed by free persons and they lived with their families in their houses and neighborhoods.

In his essay J. E. Inikori argues that the British slavers “had freedom to carry as many slaves per ship as possible” to foreign colonies after 1788.1 He takes issue with my argument in Econocide that the British regulatory acts applied equally to those in the British direct trade to foreign colonies.2 In support of this he cites instances of British slave ships that undoubtedly loaded far more than the allowed slaves per ton in 1803.

Abstract:
Observing current social issues in Japan from the perspective of Roman law: part 3 Professor Mariko Igimi, Kyushu University, writes her third part argument on why we still have much to learn from Antiquity and Roman Law in relation to the current issues of an aging society in Japan. Professor Mariko argues that for former slaves who have always acted under order and supervision of their owners until they were freed, it might be difficult to start their lives independently. However, it was a very common practice that slaves owned slaves, hence there was a special word for a slave's slave, i.e., vicarius. For such slaves, it would not be an issue to run businesses on their own and earn their living independently after the manumission. While there is diversity in treatments of freed slaves, most attached to patronus would be the libertus in case who acts as a place of deposit of the former owner, where the freed slave was fully integrated into the business of the former owner. In some cases, freed slaves were independently running a business in which deposit was involved. From the wide range of relationships between former owners and freed slaves, we might be able to observe how the Romans delicately balanced the protection and the independence based on the personal bonds, competence and experiences of individual freed slaves etc. Looking at the ageing population of Japan, she argues that humans are not “equal” in their competence and weakness, hardship, social and family relationships etc., which is causing some of the major issues we are facing today, particularly in an aging society like Japan.

Abstract:
AbstractIn late antiquity most of the slaves owned by Jewish slave owners in Roman Palestine seem to have been domestic slaves. These slaves formed an integral part of the Jewish household and played an important role within the family economy. In a number of respects the master-slave relationship resembled the wife-husband, child-father, and student-teacher relationships, and affectionate bonds between the slave and his master (or nursling) would have an impact on relationships between other members of the family. Master and slave were linked to each other through mutual ties of dependency which counteracted the basic powerlessness of slaves. On the other hand, slaves had to suffer sexual exploitation and were considered honorless. Rabbinic sources reveal both similarities and differences between Jewish and Graeco-Roman attitudes toward slaves. The Jewish view of the master-slave relationship also served as the basis for its metaphorical use.

Abstract:
In this paper, we compare the life of a private slave and that of a public slave (temple slave) in Babylonia from the 7th century to the 5th century. During this period, many common reasons led to people’s private and public enslavement. These reasons included debt, famine, being a prisoner of war, and descending from slavery. Private and public slaves were subjected to various economic activities determined by their owners and the institution(temple). However, the way of life and the rules that applied to these two types of slaves were quite different. The life of a private slave could change quickly and often according to their owner's will, while the temple laws or rules regulated the life of a temple slave. Even though temple slaves had to follow the temple’s rules, slaves preferred to be temple slaves rather than privately owned. Temple slaves could not be sold, which allowed them to live with their families during their lifetime. Temple slaves’ lives were also determined by rules, not by an owner’s unpredictable emotions.

Abstract:
This essay examines the relationship between slavery and plant knowledge for cultivational activities and medicinal purposes on Isle de France (Mauritius) in the second half of the eighteenth century. It builds on recent scholarship to argue for the significance of slaves in the acquisition of plant material and related knowledge in pharmaceutical, acclimatization, and private gardens on the French colonial island. I highlight the degree to which French colonial officials relied on slaves’ ethnobotanical knowledge but neglected to include such information in their published works. Rather than seeking to explore the status of such knowledge within European frameworks of natural history as an endpoint of knowledge production, this essay calls upon us to think about the plant knowledge that slaves possessed for its practical implementations in the local island context. Both female and male slaves’ plant-based knowledge enriched – even initiated – practices of cultivation and preparation techniques of plants for nourishment and medicinal uses. Here, cultivational knowledge and skills determined a slave’s hierarchical rank. As the case of the slave gardener Rama and his family reveals, plant knowledge sometimes offered slaves opportunities for social mobility and, even though on extremely rare occasions, enabled them to become legally free.

This paper addresses the adversities of a slave in 19th century Cuba who was considered dangerous because of his education; the suspicious claim of the owner; the slave’s arrest between Cuba, Spain, and Puerto Rico, and the defence of the rights to which he was entitled. The scant but interesting documentation on the misfortune of José Rufino Parra raises many issues regarding the daily relationships between masters and slaves; the unheard-of relationship between a black man and a white woman; the conservation of family honour, and the importance of education and family for slaves within an unjust colonial system, which, despite injustices, did offer opportunities to defend themselves.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines the synoptic saying on serving two masters (Matt 6.24; Luke 16.13) in light of the evidence for jointly owned slaves in documentary papyri. The saying implies that the slave of two masters will inevitably be more loyal or exclusively loyal to one master. Scholars usually accept this as an accurate depiction of jointly owned slaves. However, the papyrological evidence shows that the relationship between jointly owned slaves and their owners varied in everyday life and that slaves had little control over their loyalty to each master. The saying is, therefore, not a fully realistic portrait of how jointly owned slaves served their masters in antiquity but is possibly a slave stereotype that contributes to the (un)faithful slave imageries in the Gospels.

Abstract:
Examines the frequency of slave marriage in 18th-c. Puerto Rico, through family reconstitution based on parish baptismal, marriage, and death registers. Author first sketches the development of slavery, and the work regimens and conditions of the not yet sugar-dominated slavery in Puerto Rico. Then, he describes the religious context and social implications of marriage among slaves, and discusses, through an example, spousal selection patterns, and further focuses on age and seasonality of the slave marriages. He explains that marriage brought some legal advantages for slaves, such as the prohibited separation, by sale, of married slaves. In addition, he explores how slaves pursued marital strategies in order to manipulate material conditions. He concludes from the results that in the 18th c. marriage among slaves was not uncommon, and appear to have been determined mostly by the slaves own choice, with little direct intervention by masters. Most slaves married other slaves, with the same owner.

Abstract:
The objective of this work consists in achieving an industrial pediatric incubator network. The realization requires a general survey of different industrial networks regarding some point of view such as the protocol, the topology, the transmission support, and some technical and strategic criteria to be fulfilled. After this survey, a microcontroller network is achieved. The type of the structure network is the master/slave organized by bus. The used protocol for the communication is the RS485 in half duplex which limits the number of the slaves to only 32. The management of communications on the network is achieved by the master who uses the dialogue method of question/answer. Messages sent by the slaves are always destined only to the master. There is not a direct dialogue between the slaves. This property permits to guarantee the absence of collisions. The user is joined to the master through a link RS232. This link permits to know any slave's state.

This study supports the thesis that slaves were admitted into the Cape colony by the Cape colonial government, even though the government was opposed to slave importation in principle and law (Slave Trade Act, 1807) from 1797-1818. The colonial demand for slaves was at its height after the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie's (VOC) capitulation to the British in 1795. This demand forced the first British occupation government to forgo their anti-slave trade principles and accede to a limited importation of slaves into the colony.

Full text
Abstract:
Rome's dependence upon slaves has been well established in terms of economics and general society. This paper, however, seeks to demonstrate this dependence, during the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Empire, through detailed examples of slave use in various areas of Roman life. The areas covered include agriculture, industry, domestic life, the state, entertainment, intellectual life, military, religion, and the use of female slaves. A look at manumission demonstrates Rome's growing awareness of this dependence. Through this discussion, it becomes apparent that Roman society existed during this time as it did due to slavery. Rome depended upon slavery to function and maintain its political, social, and economic stranglehold on the Mediterranean area and beyond.

Abstract:
The diary of Thomas Thistlewood, 1750 to 1786, provides us with a case study in which to assess the nature of eighteenth century Jamaica. The level of interaction that Thistlewood has with the slave community means that we are able to build up a picture not only of white, but also slave society. The diary shows that a continuum existed between the white and slave communities. Slave women were important to the process of intermingling. They bridged the gap between the two communities in three important ways. These were through engaging in long term sexual liaisons with white men, bearing mulatto children, and becoming the commercial intermediaries between the two communities. These roles meant that slave women filtered information, culture, and money back and forth between the two communities. Gender was an important determinant in the experience of a slave, Slave women were subject not only to exhaustive work routines and punishment, but also to sexual exploitation and the extra burden of reproduction. Gender also played a role in the opportunities a slave had to escape from the field. Field slaves were assigned work in a largely genderless way, however, positions of authority, such as driver, were reserved for male slaves. Slave occupations away from the field were also gender biased, with women working in the house and as marketers, and men pursuing the trades. This bias was based on white gender assumptions, and effectively limited the ability of women to escape from the field. The sexual exploitation of slave women was common in Jamaica. While most women gained nothing from sexual liaisons with white men, a small number were able to turn their exploitation to their advantage, and gain an improved lifestyle and position. Slave women played an important role within the slave community. As bearers of tradition they had an important role in the preservation and retention of a separate slave culture with African influences. Slave women were the primary care givers to children, however, Thistlewood's diary suggests that slave men were also important in the upbringing of the children. The experiences of Thistlewood and those he mentions in his diary give us an ideal place to centre wider debates concerning the nature of slave and master interaction, and the role and position slave women played.

AbstractIn Southeastern Europe, slavery was present in various forms from antiquity until the nineteenth century. During the 1800s, slavery as a social reality still existed in the Ottoman Empire (including its European provinces) as well as in the Romanian principalities. Wallachia and Moldavia had slaves and slavery since their founding in the fourteenth century. Around the middle of the nineteenth century, the roughly 250000 slaves living in the two countries represented seven percent of the total population. There were three categories of slaves: state slaves, slaves owned by monasteries, and privately owned slaves. The slave population was diverse in numerous ways. In terms of their ethnicity, most slaves were Roma, while some were of Romanian or other origin. As in previous centuries, they played an important role in the country’s economy—primarily by way of the enslaved craftsmen who practiced their crafts itinerantly in villages. This chapter reconstructs the history of slavery, abolitionism, and emancipation in the Romanian principalities between the 1830s and the 1850s, with reference to previous periods and similar processes taking place around the same time in other geographical areas.

AbstractThis chapter provides a comprehensive history of various forms of slavery in what came to be known in historical works as the Indian Ocean World, or a specific zone of multi-regional connections through maritime practices. It explores the dynamics of enslavement including the trade in slaves, the range of work that enslaved men and women performed, and the possibilities of social mobility for slaves and ex-slaves. In doing so, the chapter familiarizes readers with three major historiographical debates in the field, namely, who/what constituted the figure of a slave; the relationship between slavery in the Indian Ocean world and other forms of bondage such as the Atlantic slavery and indentured servitude; and the relationship between abolition and colonialism in the Indian Ocean world.

AbstractThis chapter focuses on slavery in the Mediterranean region from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, and especially in the Northern Mediterranean basin, including the Italian states, France, Spain, and Portugal. Comparing the situation in Southern European states to that in the Ottoman Empire and its satellite states enables an analysis of the forms of reciprocity and the commonalities inherent in slave trade practices around the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean was at the center of larger slave trading networks whose slaves originated from all over the world. More specifically, this chapter examines various forms of enslavement and types of work performed by slaves, along with the different levels of coercion involved in them. In its conclusion, the chapter details some of the exit strategies that enabled slaves to become free—both in socio-economic terms and from a legal perspective.

This burial ground was the Africans only autonomous space, the only space where they were allowed to congregate with regularity in large numbers.

Abstract Ethernet Control Automation Technology (EtherCAT) applies distributed clock (DC) to realize synchronization among different slaves. Due to the influence of the crystal oscillator manufacturing process and environment, there is still synchronization error between reference clock and non-reference clock. To solve the clock synchronization problem, this paper proposes a clock drift compensation algorithm based on the idea of closed-loop control. By designing integer-order proportional integral (IOPI) and fractional-order proportional integral (FOPI) controllers, the synchronization error between slaves can be minimized. The IOPI and FOPI controllers designed in this paper are used to eliminate the drift error. This method improves the synchronization accuracy without bringing too much computational load. The results show that the proposed FOPI controller can effectively reduce the synchronization error with even better performance over the IOPI controller.

Abstract:
It was not uncommon in Brazil for slaves to own slaves. Slaves as masters of slaves existed in many slave societies and societies with slaves, but considering modern, chattel slavery in the Americas, Brazil seems to have been a special case where this phenomenon thrived, especially in nineteenth-century urban Bahia. The investigation is based on more than five hundred cases of enslaved slaveowners registered in ecclesiastical and manumission records in the provincial capital city of Salvador. The paper discusses the positive legal basis and common law rights that made possible this peculiar form of slave ownership. The paper relates slave ownership by slaves with the direction and volume of the slave trade, the specific contours of urban slavery, access by slaves to slave trade networks, and slave/master relations. It also discusses the web of convivial relations that involved the slaves of slaves, focusing on the ethnic and gender profiles of the enslaved master and their slaves.

Abstract:
Estimating the effect of inequality on crime is challenging due to reversecausality and omitted variable bias. This paper addresses these concerns by exploiting the fact that, as suggested by recent scholarly research, the legacy of slavery is largely manifested in persistent levels of economic inequality. Municipality-level economic inequality in Colombia is instrumented with a census-based measure of the proportion of slaves before the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century. It is found that inequality increases both property crime and violent crime. The estimates are robust to including traditional determinants of crime (like population density, proportion of young males, average education level, quality of law enforcement institutions, and overall economic activity), as well as geographic characteristics that may be correlated with both the slave economy and with crime, and current ethnic differences. Policies aiming at reducing structural crime should focus on reducing economic inequality.

Abstract:
In democracies, protests are often viewed by citizens as a costly last resort measure to demand more economic and political rights and resources from policymakers by whom they feel unheard. When citizens feel unheard, they may protest. A stark example of this was the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests ignited by the killing of George Floyd. Over 15 million people participated in BLM protests in 2020 alone, and the protests in the 2010s resulted in it being labelled the ‘decade of protest.’ Many of these protests have highlighted distributive justice claims, from reparations to descendants of African slaves to redistribution of economic capital.

Abstract:
This paper follows the enslaved woman Teofila from captivity to freedom in 19th-century Rio de Janeiro. To become a free woman, Teofila had to navigate the complex private credit networks of the West African community of the Brazilian capital city. With limited banking activity, the cariocas relied on one another for their financial needs, making for a highly convivial credit market that reflected and reinforced the vast inequalities of Brazilian slave society. While following Teofila through the courts of Rio de Janeiro, this paper will demonstrate that one of the cornerstones of the city’s credit market was the presence of an intertwined relationship between credit and private property. The commerce in human beings like Teofila produced thousands of negotiable titles, with slavery working as a propeller for credit circulation and one of its pillars – slave property was the primary collateral for unpaid debts.
