  Slavery may no longer exist as a legal institution, but we still find many forms of non-freedom in contemporary societies. Looking at the Byzantine concept of slavery within the context of law, the labor market, medieval politics, and religion, this book illustrates how these contexts both reshaped and sustained the slave market.
