Calls and Responses: The American Novel of Slavery Since Gone With the Wind (Southern Literary Studies)
A substantially new account of the development of American slavery fiction in the last century, Calls and Responses goes beyond merely exalting the expression of black voices and experiences and actually reconfigures the existing view of the American novel of slavery.

Two Spies and a General
It is the year 221 B.C. and there is a tenuous peace between the two rival states of Carthage and Rome, but vengeance, not peace is on the mind of Herotyrus -- one of Carthages' noble citizens. When his plans of revenge fail, Herotyrus is forced from the streets of Carthage to Hannibal's army in Iberia, where he is consigned to the dead, so he can become Hannibal's personal spy. But as a Carthaginian on Roman soil, Hero's loyalties are tested as he discovers slavery, treachery and love -- slavery that brings him to the brink of death, treachery that spans the Mediterranean Sea and love that transcends the hate of two warring nations.
Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide.

Debt-Slavery in Israel and the Ancient Near East
This original study concerns itself with the manumission laws of Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 15 and Leviticus 25. It begins with the social background to debt slavery and the socio-economic factors encouraging the rise of debt slavery in Mesopotamia. After a comparative analysis of the Mesopotamian and biblical material Chirichigno examines the social background to debt slavery in Israel, the various slave laws in the Pentateuch (in order to delimit the chattel-slave laws from the debt-slave laws), and the biblical manumission laws themselves.
