AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document contains an analysis of the function and structure of slavery within Ila culture and society. Slavery in the world-wide literature is broadly characterized as a superordinate-subordinate role relationship between owner and slave, based on capture or purchase, entailing some degree of sexual, political, or economic exploitation. Among the Ila, however, slaves occupied a transient status and were gradually incorporated into the society.
