520 Arming slaves as soldiers is a counterintuitive idea. Yet
throughout history, in many varied societies, slaveholders
have entrusted slaves with the use of deadly force. This
book is the first to survey the practice broadly across
space and time, encompassing the cultures of classical
Greece, the early Islamic kingdoms of the Near East, West
and East Africa, the British and French Caribbean, the
United States and Latin America. To facilitate cross-
cultural comparisons, each chapter addresses four crucial
issues: the social and cultural facts regarding the arming
of slaves, the experience of slave soldiers, the
ideological origins and consequences of equipping enslaved
peoples for battle, and the impact of the practice on the
status of slaves and slavery itself. What emerges from the
book is a new historical understanding: the arming of
slaves is neither uncommon nor paradoxical but is instead
both predictable and explicable.
