Islams Black Slaves documents a centuriesold institution that still survives, and traces the business of slavery and its repercussions from Islams inception in the seventh century, through its history in China, India, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Libya, and Spain, and on to Sudan and Mauritania, where, even today, slaves continue to be sold.Ronald Segal reveals for the first time the numbers involved in this tradeas many millions as were transported to the Americasand explores the differences between the traffic in the East and the West.Islams Black Slaves also examines the continued denial of the very existence of this sector of the black diaspora, although it survives today in significant numbers; and in an illuminating conclusion, Segal addresses the appeal of Islam to AfricanAmerican communities, and the perplexing refusal of Black Muslim leaders to acknowledge black slavery and oppression in presentday Mauritania and Sudan.A fitting companion to Segals previous work, Islams Black Slaves is a fascinating account of an often unacknowledged tradition, and a riveting crosscultural commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45899436196038,"sku":"DADAX0374527970","price":23.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/71uYfiu720L.jpg?v=1780298273","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/islams-black-slaves-the-other-black-diaspora","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
