520    "In Captives: How Stolen People Changed the World 
       archaeologist Catherine M. Cameron provides an eye-opening
       comparative study of the profound impact that captives of 
       warfare and raiding have had on small-scale societies 
       through time. Cameron provides a new point of orientation 
       for archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, and other
       scholars by illuminating the impact that captive-taking 
       and enslavement have had on cultural change, with 
       important implications for understanding the past. 
       Focusing primarily on indigenous societies in the Americas
       while extending the comparative reach to include Europe, 
       Africa, and Island Southeast Asia, Cameron draws on 
       ethnographic, ethnohistoric, historic, and archaeological 
       data to examine the roles that captives played in small-
       scale societies. In such societies, captives represented 
       an almost universal social category consisting 
       predominantly of women and children and constituting 10 to
       50 percent of the population in a given society. Cameron 
       demonstrates how captives brought with them new 
       technologies, design styles, foodways, religious practices,
       and more, all of which changed the captor culture. This 
       book provides a framework that will enable archaeologists 
       to understand the scale and nature of cultural 
       transmission by captivesand it will also interest 
       anthropologists, historians, and other scholars who study 
       captive-taking and slavery. Cameron's exploration of the 
       peculiar amnesia that surrounds memories of captive-taking
       and enslavement around the world also establishes a 
       connection with unmistakable contemporary relevance"--
