Slavery After Rome, 500–1100
Alice Rio

This study deals with the many forms of slavery that resiliently continued in the Euro-Mediterranean world after the end of the Western Roman Empire, studying the major post-Roman polities with a comparative lens. The book’s main thesis concerns our understanding of early medieval unfreedom itself; according to the author, different categories of unfreedom could be adopted by landlords to manage and control their labour pool.
