More about the book
Exploring the ideologies of slavery in early modern England, Urvashi Chakravarty reveals how these concepts permeated everyday life long before the organized trade of enslaved individuals emerged. She challenges the notion of England's innocence regarding racialized slavery by examining its roots in domestic settings, social hierarchies, theater, and particularly in grammar school classrooms, where the influences of classical slavery and race were both inherited and contested.
