I published a chapter in this book that was based on a conference in honor or Orlando Patterson's 35th anniversary of Slavery and Social Death. The chapter called, “Becoming Almost Somebody: Manumission and its Complications in the Early Han Empire,” uses the Zhangjiashan texts to confirm for the first time the status of "freedman" in Ancient China, and demonstrates that the process of manumission and freedman status were in accord with Patterson's cross-cultural findings.
