Hardcover. Dark gray cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; bw illustrated dj, mylar cover; xiii, 511 pp; bw illustrations. In a work of prodigious scholarship and enormous breadth, which draws on the tribal, ancient, premodern, and modern worlds, Orlando Patterson discusses the internal dynamics of slavery in sixty-six societies over time. Slavery is shown to be a parasitic relationship between master and slave, invariably entailing the violent domination of a natally alienated, or socially dead, person. The phenomenon of slavery as an institution, the author argues, is a single process of recruitment, incorporation on the margin of society, and eventual manumission or death. --from publisher description. Contents: The internal relations of slavery. The idiom of power -- Authority, alienation, and social death -- Honor and degradation -- Slavery as an institutional process.

Libro Prima edizione
A foundational text for the Afropessimism movement, this landmark study by Patterson--through a close study of over sixty slave societies--established and explored the "social death" of the enslaved people, as perpetrated and accelerated by the parasitic nature of the "Master". Hugely influential towards the thought of Frank Wilderson III, whose work and writings towards Afropessimism constitute a chamber in which Patterson's work constantly reverberates. Near Fine in a Very Good jacket, unclipped, lightly rubbed and soiled, with shallow edgewear including some small tears and creases. Hardcover [octavo] in pictorial dust jacket. [viii] 511 pp. Charcoal cloth with silver stamped lettering to spine.
