Gender, Slavery and law in colonial India
Chatterjee Indrani
Gender, Slavery and law in colonial India - New Delhi Oxford University Press 1999 - 286p xi
Summary:
This volume shows that slaves acquired by some ruling households were incorporated into patterns of kinship. Colonial abolitionist measures did not even try to manumit these slaves; they restructured ideologies of marriage and succession instead and eroded the status of slave-descended members over time.
