Slavery in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia provides a sweeping survey of the many forms of bound labor in Iberia from ancient times to the decline of slavery in the eighteenth century.
William D. Phillips, Jr., is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Minnesota and author of A Concise History of Spain.
"Slavery in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia provides a valuable
overview of the institution of slavery in this region. Phillips
should be commended for the breadth of his analysis and his ability
to integrate and synthesize such a wide array of secondary works. .
. . This work presents an excellent addition to the field that will
be useful to scholars of European, Atlantic, African, and Latin
American history."
*Sixteenth Century Journal*
"The Iberian peninsula played a pivotal role in ushering in new
systems of slavery in the late Middle Ages and early modern period.
Engaging and clear, this book is the first comprehensive treatment
of the topic and provides an entry into what it must have been like
to be a slave in medieval Iberia."
