In most Muslim countries where there was a high number of black slaves like Egypt, Turkey, Iran, India , there are virtually no significant black minorities today. Bernard Lewis writes that "polytheists and idolaters were seen primarily as sources of slaves, to be imported into the Islamic world and molded-in Islamic ways, and, since they possessed no religion of their own worth the mention, as natural recruits for Islam.

New Scientist. I know of no African tribe that kidnapped Europeans and put them in bondage for generations; nor do I know of an African tribe that captured Arab women for centuries and made them sex slaves. These children may be forced to participate in forced agricultural work. From such scenes one turns away with pity and indignation. Meanwhile in London in parliament prohibits the carrying of slaves in any British ship and the import of slaves into any British colony. Perhaps the reason for silence on campuses about these things is that the story of black slaves and their Arab masters remains unknown there. The Arab slave trade began long before the Islamic conquest of Africa, remained at relatively low level compared to the Atlantic slave trade and did not become illegal or abolished, and was maintained till well after the colonisation of Africa. Encyclopaedia of Islam Online. Historians have to use imprecise narrative documents to make estimates which must be treated with caution: Luiz Felipe de Alencastro states that there were 8 million slaves taken from Africa between the 8th and 19th centuries along the Oriental and the Trans- Saharan routes.

  • Revisiting the Etymology of Zanni
    REVISITING THE ETYMOLOGY OF ZANNI Anna Moro It has long been maintained that the etymology of zani, zanni – the servant or buffoon of the commedia dell’arte – is a northern Italian variant of the proper noun Giovanni, or its shortened form, Gianni. In Tommaseo and Bellini’s Dizionario della lingua italiana , published in Turin between 1865 and 1879, it is stated that the term is “voce bergamasca, accorciata dall’intero nome Giovanni, che rappresenta un Servo semplice e goffo bergamasco.” 1 Tommaseo and Bellini’s explanation of the origin of the term is basically what is found in modern etymological dictionaries, such as Battisti and Alessio’s Dizionario etimologico italiano (DEI) and Cortelazzo and Zolli’s Dizionario etimologico della lingua italiana (DELI). The earliest attestation of the term appears to be the 15th century, according to Battisti and Alessio, but a precise reference is not given. 16th century attestations of zani / zanni corresponding to the servant character of the commedia dell’arte , of course, abound. There is no doubt that the term zani was widely used in the 16th century in Italy to designate the servant character of the commedia dell’arte ; and it is during the 16th century that the term spread outside of Italy: it is found in French, for example, as zani from 1550, and in English, as zany , later in the century (Migliorini 1983: 426). In the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) , the noun zany (with various spellings), which preceded the use of term as 1 Cited in M. Cortelazzo and P.

  • Black Iraqis Are Not the Descendants of Slaves. on the Cushitic Origins of Iraq»
    «Black Iraqis Are Not The Descendants of Slaves. On The Cushitic Origins of Iraq» by Victoria Kabeya, January 25th, 2021 INTRODUCTION According to the Minority Rights Group International, the Black Iraqis, whose most members are now living in Basra, would constitute an ethnic clan of a million and a half citizens. Though belonging to one of the most populated black groups in the Middle East, their existence has always been linked to the era of the Zanj slave trade which led to the most important black rebellion in the Near East at the time. As black populations in the region tend to be overlooked and automatically regrouped under the slave category, few authors have attempted to explore their unique diversity. Arab, Persian, Indian and European scholars have all supported the thesis regarding the Zanj slave trade-and the Arab slave trade in general- as the only common root of origins for the Afro-Arabs. Yet, such explanation is far from being correct and true. This paper aims to argue that the Black Iraqis are not the descendants of slaves but would rather embody an admixture between a pre- existing indigenous black population living in ancient Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula and through which, the area would be directly attached to the Horn of Africa and the Cushite culture, and the different enslaved Africans brought to Arabia during the slave trade. Slavery is not the point of beginning regarding the presence of black individuals in the country. Indeed, an original black Iraqi population, including the ancient Arabs, were already present before the 7th century.

  • The History of Slavery Covers Slave Systems in Historical Perspective In
    The history of slavery covers slave systems in historical perspective in which one human being is legally the property of another, can be bought or sold, is not allowed to escape and must work for the owner without any choice involved. As Drescher (2009) argues, "The most crucial and frequently utilized aspect of the condition is a communally recognized right by some individuals to possess, buy, sell, discipline, transport, liberate, or otherwise dispose of the bodies and behavior of other individuals."[1] An integral element is that children of a slave mother automatically become slaves.[2] It does not include historical forced labor by prisoners, labor camps, or other forms of unfree labor in which laborers are not considered property. Slavery can be traced back to the earliest records, such as the Code of Hammurabi (c. 1760 BC), which refers to it as an established institution.[3] Slavery is rare among hunter-gatherer populations as slavery depends on a system of social stratification. Slavery typically also requires a shortage of labor and a surplus of land to be viable.[4] David P. Forsythe wrote: "The fact remained that at the beginning of the nineteenth century an estimated three-quarters of all people alive were trapped in bondage against their will either in some form of slavery or serfdom."[5] Slavery is no longer legal anywhere in the world.[6] Mauritania abolished it in law in 1981[7] and was the last country to do so – see Abolition of slavery timeline. However, the number of slaves today is higher than at any point in history,[8]

Because of the many sacrifices they made in order to give me a good education, I affectionately dedicate this work to them ABSTRACT This thesis is a survey of the economic, socio-cultural and political life of the Yemeni Arabs in Kenya during the Colonial Period, 1895 - 1963. The Yemeni Arabs are a fairly distinct group of Arabs who migrated from Southern Arabia. The term Yemeni or Yemeni Arabs in this study will be used to refer to those people who came from both the Yemens - the present day People's Democratic Republic of South Yemen and the Republic of North Yemen. However, when direct reference is made to those Yemenis who came from Hadhramaut in South Yemen, they will be referred to as Hadhramis. There has been very long-established relations between the East African coast and South Arabia. The East African coast was visited by people from the Southern Arabian coast from pre-lslamic times. Traders plied the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the East African coast in search of trading commodities before the birth of Islam.
