Comparative Slavery is a specially-designed course to offer a very
detailed knowledge about several aspects of classical slavery
internationally and - in comparative terms - very inimical
contemporary histo-political incidents, which underscore that some
societies are still holding their people in slave-like bondage. The
Cross-Atlantic slavery events, as depicted by such leading scholars as
Eric Williams, Orlando Patterson, Joseph Miller and others, will be
taught in comparative terms to underscore that slavery in different
forms existed throughout the world. Apart from two major exams at
mid-term and at the end of the semester, students write about five
short book/film reviews and a 6-10 page empirical research paper.
