Sold People: Traffickers and Family Life in North China
Johanna S. Ransmeier

Families at all social levels participated in buying servants, slaves, concubines, or children and disposing of unwanted household members. Johanna Ransmeier shows that these commonplace transactions built and restructured families as often as it broke them apart.
