Using written and oral narratives in attempts to reconstruct the history of asymmetrical dependency comes along with various methodological challenges, as the 15 articles in this interdisciplinary volume illustrate. They focus on a wide range of different (factual and fictional) text types, including inscriptions from Egyptian tombs, biblical stories, novels from antiquity, the Middle High German Rolandslied, Ottoman court records, captivity narratives, travelogues, the American gift book The Liberty Bell, and oral narratives by Caribbean Hindu women. Most of the texts discussed in this volume have so far received comparatively little attention in slavery and dependency studies. The volume thus also seeks to broaden the archive of texts that are deemed relevant in research on the histories of asymmetrical dependencies, bringing together perspectives from disciplines such as Egyptology, theology, literary studies, history, and anthropology.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 170mmItem Weight: 765gContributor: Elke Brüggen (Edited by), Marion Gymnich (Edited by)Author: Elke BrüggenGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, HistoryBook Series: Dependency and Slavery StudiesType: SociologyRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
