"Persons and Property in Private Law is a curated collection of socio-legal scholarship and primary legal sources examining the roots, relevance, and application of the legal categories of persons and property. These categories are foundational — being regarded as fundamental to the semantic architecture of law. This comprehensive and thought-provoking book is designed for students in undergraduate law and legal studies programs. The book delves into the origins, evolution, and ideological dimensions of the concepts of persons and property in the legal realm. It explores how the notion of legal personality has evolved over time and its impact on various individuals and entities. Additionally, it critically examines the construct of property and its connection to ownership rights, highlighting the ideological underpinnings and societal implications associated with different forms of property. Persons and Property in Private Law provides a rich and multidimensional exploration of the concepts of persons and property, urging readers to critically engage with the ideological dimensions and implications of these legal constructs. By examining historical perspectives, contemporary issues, and emerging challenges, the book offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis that encourages students and scholars alike to reevaluate traditional legal taxonomies and envision a more inclusive, sustainable, and earth-centred legal framework."--

"Slavery is the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised." So reads the legal definition of slavery agreed by the League of Nations in 1926. Further enshrined in law during international negotiations in 1956 and 1998, this definition has been interpreted in different ways by the international courts in the intervening years. What can be considered slavery? Should forced labour be considered slavery? Debt-bondage? Child soldiering? Or forced marriage? This book explores the limits of how slavery is understood in law. It shows how the definition of slavery in law and the contemporary understanding of slavery has continually evolved and continues to be contentious. It traces the evolution of concepts of slavery, from Roman law through the Middle Ages, the 18th and 19th centuries, up to the modern day manifestations, including manifestations of forced labour and trafficking in persons, and considers how the 1926 definition can distinguish slavery from lesser servitudes. Together the contributors have put together a set of guidelines intended to clarify the law where slavery is concerned. The Bellagio-Harvard Guidelines on the Legal Parameters of Slavery, reproduced here for the first time, takes their shared understanding of both the past and present to project a consistent interpretation of the legal definition of slavery for the future.
