Abstract
Abstract Chapter 4 addresses the boundary between dominant and subordinate groups under slavery, an institution rooted in a violent relationship toward people who occupy an alienated and dishonored social status. Unfree individuals are bound to persons, not to land or fiefdoms. Micro-segregation arises because barriers to escape and insubordination among enslaved people coincide with a parasitic association between enslavers and those enslaved. The chapter examines historical instances of micro-segregation in the archetypal case of chattel slavery found in the antebellum U.S. South, as well as comparative ethnographic evidence available from over one thousand societies. Under slavery, micro-segregation is catalyzed by fears of mobilization and economic competition from enslaved peoples, as well as the sexual predation of slaveholders.
