Resumen

El libro de William L. Westermann, The Slave Systems of Greek and Roman Antiquity, publicado en 1955, sigue siendo una referencia al estudio de la antigua esclavitud. Sin embargo, este libro a menudo es criticado por su estructura anticuaria y, por lo tanto, por la falta de un enfoque teórico sobre la esclavitud en el mundo antiguo. Este punto de vista fue enfatizado principalmente por Moses Finley, con su trabajo Ancient Slavery and Modern Ideology (1980), y desde entonces se ha convertido en un consenso en la historiografía de la esclavitud. Este artículo argumenta que tal enfoque descuida el lugar del libro de Westermann en los debates sobre la historia comparativa de la esclavitud que ocurrió en los Estados Unidos durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Hay similitudes entre la tesis de Frank Tannenbaum sobre los diferentes niveles de severidad en los sistemas de esclavos en las Américas, presentada en su Slave and Citizen (1946), y la visión de Westermann de los antiguos sistemas de esclavos. Esta similitud es comprensible dado que ambos asistieron a seminarios sobre la historia del trabajo y la esclavitud en la Universidad de Columbia.
