内容説明

The labour of pawns - freeborn women, men and children indentured in payment of interest on a debt - was an important supplement to that of slaves in the pre-colonial and colonial eras. This book examines the origins of pawnship; the economic factors that contributed to its spread; the ideological and institutional framework that supported pawnship; its organization; the experience of pawns; and the role of class, gender and age in pawnship.
