Fictions of Consent: Slavery, Servitude, and Free Service in Early Modern England - RaceB4Race: Critical Race Studies of the Premodern
Urvashi Chakravarty

She argues that England laid the conceptual groundwork for racialized slavery as it interrogated the classical inheritances and contemporary contexts for bondage.
