Reviews

"Slavery in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia provides a valuable overview of the institution of slavery in this region. Phillips should be commended for the breadth of his analysis and his ability to integrate and synthesize such a wide array of secondary works. . . . This work presents an excellent addition to the field that will be useful to scholars of European, Atlantic, African, and Latin American history."—Sixteenth Century Journal

"The Iberian peninsula played a pivotal role in ushering in new systems of slavery in the late Middle Ages and early modern period. Engaging and clear, this book is the first comprehensive treatment of the topic and provides an entry into what it must have been like to be a slave in medieval Iberia."—Teofilo Ruiz, University of California, Los Angeles
