Captivity and Coercion in the Ancient World

The book begins by examining captivity and coercion in the ancient world. The authors argue that captivity and coercion were widespread in ancient societies, and that they played a significant role in shaping the development of these societies. They discuss the different forms of captivity and coercion that existed in the ancient world, and they explore the ways in which these practices were used to control and exploit people.

Captivity and Coercion in the Medieval World

The book then moves on to examine captivity and coercion in the medieval world. The authors argue that captivity and coercion continued to be widespread in medieval societies, but that they took on new forms and meanings. They discuss the rise of slavery in the medieval world, and they explore the ways in which this institution was used to justify the exploitation of people. They also discuss the emergence of new forms of coercion, such as torture and imprisonment.

Captivity and Coercion in the Modern World

The book concludes by examining captivity and coercion in the modern world. The authors argue that captivity and coercion have continued to be widespread in modern societies, but that they have once again taken on new forms and meanings. They discuss the rise of mass incarceration in the United States, and they explore the ways in which this policy has been used to target and control marginalized communities. They also discuss the emergence of new forms of coercion, such as electronic surveillance and data mining.

The Comparative Approach to Captivity and Coercion is a groundbreaking new book that provides a comprehensive overview of the history of captivity and coercion. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of violence and oppression, and it is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the ways in which these practices continue to shape our world today.
