Slavery in the Islamic World : Its Characteristics and Commonality, Paperback / softback Book

Slavery in the Islamic World : Its Characteristics and Commonality Paperback / softback

Edited by Mary Ann Fay

Paperback / softback

Description

This edited volume determines where slavery in the Islamic world fits within the global history of slavery and the various models that have been developed to analyze it.

To that end, the authors focus on a question about Islamic slavery that has frequently been asked but not answered satisfactorily, namely, what is Islamic about slavery in the Islamic world.

Through the fields of history, sociology, literature, women's studies, African studies, and comparative slavery studies, this book is an important contribution to the scholarly research on slavery in the Islamic lands, which continues to be understudied and under-represented in global slavery studies.
