Cutting freedom down to size Liberté calibrée

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Freedom, as a concept and a value, presents limited prospects for anthropological comparison. The study of enslavement, much neglected in attempts to develop an anthropology of freedom, shows that freedom has been imagined by the enslaved as the opposite of their condition only under particular circumstances.
