{"product_id":"slaves-from-the-north-jukka-jari-korpela-9789004447196","title":"Slaves from the North","description":"In this book Jukka Korpela offers an analysis of the trade in kidnapped Finns and Karelians into slavery in Eastern Europe. Blond slaves from the north of Europe were rare luxury items in Black Sea and Caspian markets, and the high prices they commanded stimulated and sustained a long-distance trade based on kidnapping in special robbery missions and war expeditions. Captives were sold into the Volga slave trade and transported through market webs further south. This business differed and was separate from the large-scale raids carried out on Crimeans for enslavement in Eastern Europe, or the mass kidnappings characteristic of Mediterranean slavery. The trade in Finns and Karelians provides new perspectives on the formation of the Russian state as well as the economic networks of official and unofficial markets in Eastern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jukka Jari Korpela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004447199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004447196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.10w x 0.67d","brand":"Jukka Jari Korpela","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637344649471,"sku":"9789004447196","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a48bfb76-4d2e-4239-9db7-603c87906dda.jpg?v=1765115585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slaves-from-the-north-jukka-jari-korpela-9789004447196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
