Summary
Significant numbers of the people enslaved throughout world history have been children. The vast literature on slavery has grown to include most of the history of this ubiquitous practice, but nearly all of it concentrates on the adult males whose strong bodies and laboring capacities preoccupied the masters of the modern Americas. Children in Slavery through the Ages examines the children among the enslaved across a significant range of earlier times and other places. The scholarship included brings our thinking about slaving and slavery to new levels of comprehensiveness and complexity, adding historical depth to the abuse of children for sexual and labor purposes that has become a significant humanitarian concern in recent decades. These essays fundamentally reconstruct our understanding of enslavement by exploring the often-ignored role of children in slavery and highlighting implications of child slavery by examining the variety of children's roles--as manual laborers, domestic servants, court entertainers and eunuchs--and the worldwide regions in which the child slave trade existed.
