The empirical evidence and anecdotes span all known human history and societies, and serve to show not only how shitty humans can be, but also how well Patterson's thesis fits the facts.

Dr. Patterson first defines slavery and then, with a scientist’s thoroughness, surveys examples of slave societies throughout the world and across history to flesh out the details of his own definition. : Patterson on the Thetes and Helots of Ancient Greece 555 Freedom, Slavery, and Female Sexual Honor in Antiquity 1096 Becoming Almost Somebody: Manumission and its Complications in the Early Han Empire 1229 Honor and Dishonor in the Slavery of Colonial Brazil 16710 (Child) Slavery in Africa as Social Death?

This is a dummy description. Patterson’s idea of slavery as social death anticipates Muñoz’s work on dead citizenship in Cruising Utopia and Lauren Berlant’s work on citizenship in Anatomy of National Fantasy. It is not something that can merely be overlooked or gotten over. The most enjoyable part for me has been his analysis of these facts, especially with regard to power, domination, and exploitation. Slavery, this book demonstrates, far from being a “peculiar institution,” comes very close to being, along with kinship and religion, a universal one.
Seen thus, slavery is less a state of being than it is a process through which the actual period of formal enslavement was only one element. Though I do tend to be critical of academic speech particularly regarding its inaccessibility and how it makes completion of scholarly materials a chore, the richness of this work given what Patterson uncovers in this study makes the sometimes grinding nature of the reading experience well worth it.

As a result the reader comes out of the text not only with a deeper understanding of slavery but of how humans organize themselves and interact with each other.
