  • HIST 292H: Race and Slavery in North Africa Spring 2010
    HIST 292H: Race and Slavery in North Africa Spring 2010 Instructor: Professor Ahmed El Shamsy ([email protected]; Hamilton 414; 962-3970) Office hours: Mondays, 1:00-2:00 pm; Tuesdays, 1:00-2:00 pm; and by appointment Class meetings: Mondays, 2:00-4:50 pm, in Davie 101 Final examination: Monday, May 3, 4:00 pm Course description: This course explores the historical record of slavery in North Africa, and analyzes its relationship to changing conceptions of race in North African societies. Between the Muslim conquest of North Africa in the seventh century and the official abolition of slavery in the region in the nineteenth century, millions of men, women, and children lived in or passed through North Africa as slaves. Many served as laborers, servants, concubines, and soldiers; others became artists, scholars, saints, and sultans, even founding dynasties based on slave rule. Today, in spite of official decrees, forms of slavery persist in North Africa, and perceptions of racial and ethnic differences play a role in present-day conflicts from Niger to Darfur. The course investigates the key factors that have shaped the varied institution of slavery in North Africa; these include the principles of Islamic law and prophetic ethics, the values and prejudices of particular cultures, the Roman system of slavery that predated Islam in the region, environmental change and economic stress, and the changing relations between minorities, majorities, and states. An examination of the phenomenon of slavery thus offers a window into the cultural and economic history of North African societies. In addition, it provides a contrast to the very different form of slavery—predicated on distinctive notions of race and racial superiority—that characterized the transatlantic world and that continues to dominate our vision of this major historical phenomenon.

  • Captivity and Encounter: Thomas Pellow, the Moroccan Renegade By: Mark Celinscak
    Captivity and Encounter: Thomas Pellow, The Moroccan Renegade By: Mark Celinscak …[A] feature of Oriental-European relations was that Europe was always in a position of strength, not to say domination.1 - Edward Said During the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, European powers came into close contact with a number of vibrant and dominant Islamic cultures. The Barbary Coast of North Africa was an area of particular significance. Due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, North Africa became a zone of British imperial enterprise. The region was of strategic military importance, and because of the strength and reach of the Ottoman Empire, it was also a rich market for overseas trade. Nevertheless, the expansion of the empire into North Africa had considerable consequences for Britain. Between 1600 and the end of the eighteenth century there were approximately 20,000 British captives in North Africa.2 Barbary corsair fleets targeted Christian shipping vessels, pillaging the goods and detaining the people on board. Those who had been captured were returned to North Africa and either sold as slaves or imprisoned. While some individuals died in captivity or remained slaves, others managed to acclimatize and enter North African society. A small few were able to escape and return home. Among those few was Thomas Pellow, an English captive who managed to flee North Africa and tell his story. This paper will examine Pellow’s experiences before, during, and after his captivity in North Africa. The primary focus will be on his encounters with his Muslim masters, specifically on the ways in which Pellow responded to slavery, the religion of Islam, and Moroccan society in general.

Moreover, an important extrapolation follows the comment: from his elevated disposition springs his grand artistic ambition. Whatever Fromentin’s own aspirations, his critics would have him consumed with an effort to reach the generic apex of history painting. Comment by Alexandre Dumas offers a first example. Always a great admirer of Fromentin, Dumas placed the artist both morally and artistically above his colleagues when he wrote that: “among those who represent the Orient at the Salon [he is] the most true, the most refined and above all the most distinguished…to the highest degree”.1 Critics who saw in Fromentin such natural nobility sought to coax an elevated ambition out of his artwork.

    H-Albion Refford on Milton, 'White Gold: The Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow and Islam's One Million White Slaves' Review published on Thursday, February 1, 2007 Giles Milton. White Gold: The Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow and Islam's One Million White Slaves. New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2005. 305 pp. $25.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-374-28935-5. Reviewed by Brian W. Refford (Indiana University of Pennsylvania)Published on H-Albion (February, 2007) More than a Cabin Boy's Ripping Good Yarn In the aftermath of September 11, Islam has often been tarred with the brush of fanaticism. This is nothing new. A combination of fear and loathing, European attitudes towards Islam have deep roots in the western historical consciousness. Medieval and early modern Europeans dreaded Islam as the infidel faith of a brutal enemy intent upon destroying the mother church. The "Islamic threat" nourished the European fear of the dangerous other, and distant Islam became an overbearing symbol of menace. In White Gold, Giles Milton suggests that such fear was not without cause, as nearly one million white Europeans were captured by Muslim pirates between 1530 and 1780, and sold in the slave markets of Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. Author of several well-received works, Milton recounts the harrowing tale of Thomas Pellow, an eleven-year-old Cornish cabin boy captured at sea by "Barbary corsairs" in 1716.[1] Employing the letters, journals, and manuscripts of Pellow and other escaped and redeemed English captives, Milton describes the white slave trade as "one of individuals caught up in a nightmare far beyond their control" (p.

Eckhardt Professor of Comparative Literature and English Head of the Department of Comparative Literature *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT An unresolved issue in African literary studies is whether North and sub-Saharan Africa are disconnected from one another, or whether they share elements that can further our understanding of the cultures from which they emerge. Since the mid-twentieth century, due to growing interest in Islam and the Arab world on the global scene, the Arab side of North African identity has been given paramount recognition. More often than not, North Africa is considered part of the Middle East rather than an integral member of an African community, although in spite of shifting political winds in recent years, the literatures that have emerged from North Africa have been firmly embedded in African literary traditions since antiquity, and share strong links with their sub-Saharan counterparts.

Milton is a very good writer who brings the story of the slaves and their captors to life. I had never heard Giles Milton. The true story of white European slaves in eighteenth century Algiers, Tunis, and Morocco In the summer ofa Cornish cabin boy named Thomas Pellow and fifty-one of his comrades were captured at sea by the Barbary corsairs. Their captors--Ali Hakem and his network of Islamic slave traders--had declared war on the whole of Christendom. France, Spain, England and Italy had suffered a series of devastating attacks. Pellow and his shipmates were bought by the tyrannical sultan of Morocco, Moulay Ismail, who was constructing an imperial palace of such scale and grandeur that it would surpass every other building in the world, a palace built entirely by Christian slave labor. Resourceful, resilient, and quick-thinking, Pellow was selected by Moulay Ismail for special treatment, and was one of the fortunate few who survived to tell his tale.

  • Slavery in Islam: from the 7Th Century to the Present
    Slavery in Islam: From the 7 th Century to the Present Mako A. Nagasawa Last modified: August 24, 2010 Summary What was the magnitude of the Arab Islamic slave trade? Records prior to 1800 are quite incomplete, and unfortunately, even some documents from 1800 – 1900 are questionable. Nevertheless, estimates can be made based on the data we do have. • Owen Alik Shahadah, author of the website arabslavetrade.com and defender of the view that Islam is an agent of Black African liberation and development, claims that the slave trade before 1800 was ‘a trickle.’ 1 Shahadah believes that 10 million African slaves were taken between 650 and 1900, with most coming in the nineteenth century. This compares with 10 to 12 million slaves taken across the Atlantic to the Americas during New World slavery. • Ralph A. Austen, who according to Orlando Patterson makes the ‘most systematic evaluation of the direct and indirect statistical data’ 2 estimates the following: Trans -Saharan Red Sea East Co ast Total 650 – 1600 AD 4,820,000 1,600,000 800,000 7,220,000 1600 – 1700 AD 700,000 3 200,000 100,000 1,000,000 1700 – 1800 AD 700,000 200,000 400,000 4 1,300,000 1800 – 1900 AD 1,200,000 200,000 5 1,257,100 6 2,657,1 00 12,177,100 • Note that the numbers underestimate the total number of persons captured, because of the great uncertainties about slaves dying en route because of illness, exhaustion, exposure, malnutrition, or mistreatment. Paul Bairoch argues for a much more aggressive total number of African slaves taken in the Arab slave trade, at 25 million.
