{"product_id":"slavery-and-empire-in-central-jeff-eden-9781108456111","title":"Slavery and Empire in Central Asia","description":"The Central Asian slave trade swept hundreds of thousands of Iranians, Russians, and others into slavery during the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, autobiographies, and newly-uncovered interviews with slaves, this book offers an unprecedented window into slaves' lives and a penetrating examination of human trafficking. Slavery strained Central Asia's relations with Russia, England, and Iran, and would serve as a major justification for the Russian conquest of this region in the 1860s-70s. Challenging the consensus that the Russian Empire abolished slavery with these conquests, Eden uses these documents to reveal that it was the slaves themselves who brought about their own emancipation by fomenting the largest slave uprising in the region's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeff Eden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108456111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108456111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Jeff Eden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942656868607,"sku":"9781108456111","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6ab3908d-7256-40ad-8808-9988d281ebb8.jpg?v=1681493608","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slavery-and-empire-in-central-jeff-eden-9781108456111","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
