The City and Its Slaves: Slavery and the Making of Democracy from Athens to the Modern World - New Directions in Hellenic Studies
Paulin Ismard
Paulin Ismard offers a new analysis of Athenian slave law in The City and Its Slaves, arguing that slavery shaped the very fabric of the Greek city and defined its boundaries. Moving freely between antiquity and the present, Ismard underscores points of connection across labor law, cybernetics, and modern forms of political representation.
