My aim is to maintain the spellings of names exactly as they appear in ar- chival sources in the endnotes unless there is a major discrepancy, in which case I employ the correct modern spelling. transliteration In this book, I have used the transliteration system of the International Journal of Middle East Studies for Persian, Arabic, and Turkish words. translations Translations of all foreign sources (Persian, Arabic, Turkish, and French) are mine. Dates Dates in this book are written in the Gregorian style. In endnotes, the dates of English sources are Gregorian, Persian documents of sAm and books are cited in Hijri Shamsi (modern Iranian or solar calendar), and Persian docu- ments of vuK are Hijri Qamari (Islamic or lunar calendar) unless noted Sh. (Hijri Shamsi). Units of MeasUre weigHts Man is an Iranian unit of weight equal to 3 kg. Ray is an Iranian unit of weight equal to 11.87 kg.1 currency It is impossible to determine the exact value of coins used in Iran. The most common coin in circulation was the toman. Some coins were minted in Iran while others were foreign. The exchange in every province and city differed x a note to the reaDer considerably, and there was a constant fluctuation in the value of coins. The following rates have been determined based on information extracted from historical sources. In the book the value is given in the original currency con- verting into toman in parenthesis, but it should be noted that the rate of ex- change is approximate. 1) The German crown (GC) was one of the most common coins circulating at Musqat, having been imported from Baghdad. In 1825, GC100 = Br 217.2 2) Bombay rupees (Br) were a currency imported from India in exchange for goods shipped from Bushehr. In 1842, £1 = Br 10.3 In 1917, 100 Rupees = 183 Qran.4 3) The toman (T) was an Iranian gold coin used chiefly in circulation with a fluctuating value. One toman consisted of ten silverqran .5 In the mid- nineteenth century, T1 = $5.6 In the late nineteenth century, T1 = $1.6.7 4) Themahomedee (M) was a copper coin. In 1825, $1 = Ma20, or T1 = Ma100.8 5) The British pound (£). In 1883, £1 = T2.5.9 6) The Spanish dollar ($). In 1840, £1 = $2.5.10 In 1853, £1 = $4.11 7) The pence (Pe). In 1883, T1 = Pe100.12 8) Shamees (Sh) was a currency used in Basra. In 1847, £1 = Sh13.3.13 9) Piastres (PI) were silver coins minted in the Ottoman Empire. In 1840, PI 15 = $1.14 10) Manat was a Russian currency. In 1910, 1 manat = 1.5 qran.15 AcKnowledgments given my ABiding certAinty of the importance of sharing the subject of this book with the wider academic community, this work has been a labor of perseverance. It is the culmination of many years of research as well as the support of those in archival organizations and research institutions in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, and from descendants of diasporic enslaved people communities scattered throughout Iran and the Persian Gulf region. There is a considerable demand from scholars, teachers, and students for a book on the subject of slavery and emancipation in Iran. Teaching the course “Slavery in the Middle East” without recourse to a textbook on the subject in- spired me to seriously consider reworking my dissertation, “Slavery, the Abo- lition of the Slave Trade, and the Emancipation of Slaves in Iran, 1828–1928,” and preparing it for publication. Although it began as a doctoral thesis, in 1999 my research was hindered by circumstances beyond my control: these included the relocation of many Iranian archives along with complications and changes associated with docu- ment release policies and catalogue systems. Notwithstanding, I was always able to count on the support of staff and other archivists at various insti- tutions. At Brock University, the staff of the James A. Gibson Library de- serve special appreciation. In Iran, these included Mahmoud Esmaeilnia, Ramin Seirafi Far, and Beheshte Daneshmand at the archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Farimah Baqeri, Kobra Moqimi, and Roqayeh Shokri at the Research and Document Information Division of the National Archive and Library; Parvin Sadr Seqat al- Islami, manager of the Gulestan Palace; Javad Hasti and Zahra Asadian at the Photo Collection Center of Gulestan Palace; Mr. Khalili and Mr. Moradi at the Library, Museum and Document Centre of Iran Parliament; Abdulkarim Mashayekhi at the Centre of Iranian Studies—the Bushehr Branch; as well as staff at the Ministry of Environment and the Central Library of the University of Tehran. I would also like to ex- press my gratitude to the founder of the Jumaʾ Al Majid Center for Culture and Heritage in Dubai for sharing his archives and assigning staff to assist me, including Shaikha Al Mutairi as well as the staff at the Zanzibar National Library in Tanzania, who were immensely helpful. In Europe, I am grateful to the staff at National Archives of United Kingdom and British Library in London and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Paris. At these institutions and elsewhere, I have been able to count on the assis- tance and suggestions of many scholars at various stages in the preparation xii acknowleDgMents of this book and related publications, including two documentary films. In that regard, I would like to express my appreciation to Mohamad Tavakoli- Targhi, Hichem Ben- El- Mechaiekh, Lawrence Potter, Barry Grant, Martin Mhando, and Gwyn Campbell. I specially thank Abdul Sheriff and Olivier Pétré- Grenouilleau for reading chapters of this book and for their helpful suggestions. Edward Alpers, Ehud Toledano, and Indrani Chatterjee deserve special acknowledgment for the critical reading of the entire manuscript and offering detailed comments. During my long journey from graduate school to this book, I learned enormously from intellectual discussions and guidance of my then classmate, Olatunji Ojo, now my colleague at Brock University, to whom I thank for his generosity and thoughtful comments. I particularly want to single out and thank Houchang Chehabi for his continuous support, assistance, and many useful suggestions. Also, I would like to thank Paul Lovejoy for supervising my dissertation that developed into the current book. While working on this project, I was fortunate enough to share my re- search with many academics whose comments and insights nurtured my own ideas. Several organizers of academic forums and conferences deserve special thanks: Yann Richard, who invited me to deliver a talk on slavery in Iran at the Sorbonne University in Paris in 2000; Gwyn Campbell, who in 2000 orga- nized the events: Slave Systems in Asia and the Indian Ocean: Their Structure and Change in the 19th and 20th Century and Unfree Labour & Revolt in Asia and the Indian Ocean Region in 2001 at Université d’Avignon; the Intercultural relations in multicultural societies event at the universities of Tehran and Soreh in 2008; the unesco Slave Route Project events: The cultural interactions re- sulting from the slave trade and slavery in the Arab-Islamic world in Morocco in 2007, and Slave Trade and Slavery in the Arab Islamic World: Untold Tragedy and Shared Heritage in Nigeria in 2012; and Mohamad Tavakoli- Targhi at the Uni- versity of Toronto who organized the Iranian Studies Seminar Series in 2013. At the grassroots level, I would also like to thank Mansureh Ettehadieh, the late Abdulhusayn Navai, and the late Ehsan Naragi, who shared their own personal and family memories of slavery in Iran.

  • Household Knowledge and Practices Concerning Malaria and Indoor
    Madani et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:600 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2548-z RESEARCH Open Access Household knowledge and practices concerning malaria and indoor residual spraying in an endemic area earmarked for malaria elimination in Iran Abdoulhossain Madani1, Moussa Soleimani-Ahmadi1,2*, Sayed Hossein Davoodi3, Alireza Sanei-Dehkordi2, Seyed Aghil Jaberhashemi4, Mehdi Zare5 and Teamur Aghamolaei1 Abstract Background: Indoor residual spraying of insecticide (IRS) is a key intervention for reducing the burden of malaria infection. Effectiveness and success of this strategy are to a considerable extent dependent on knowledge and practice of the target community regarding the IRS. Iran has entered the malaria elimination phase, and IRS has been considered as the main strategy for malaria vector control. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the household knowledge and practices about malaria and IRS in Bashagard County, one of the malaria-endemic areas in the southeast of Iran. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 420 households in Bashagard County. The participants who were selected using a two-stage randomized cluster sampling procedure were subjected to a tested structured questionnaire. During the survey, direct observations were made concerning the use of IRS as well as housing conditions. The data were coded and analysed using SPSS version 19. Results: Knowledge levels about malaria as a disease and the mosquito as its vector were high and of equal magnitude (85.5% and 85.4%, respectively), while knowledge levels of IRS were even higher (91.6%). The main source of households’ information about malaria and IRS was primarily community health workers (73.3%).

If one were to find it in Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities, it would read as a critique of a national imaginary rooted in linguistic and cultural difference.

  • Arta 2005.001
    ARTA 2005.001 St John Simpson - The British Museum Making their mark: Foreign travellers at Persepolis The ruins at Persepolis continue to fascinate scholars not least through the perspective of the early European travellers’ accounts. Despite being the subject of considerable study, much still remains to be discovered about this early phase of the history of archaeology in Iran. The early published literature has not yet been exhausted; manuscripts, letters, drawings and sculptures continue to emerge from European collections, and a steady trickle of further discoveries can be predicted. One particularly rich avenue lies in further research into the personal histories of individuals who are known to have been resident in or travelling through Iran, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries. These sources have value not only in what may pertain to the sites or antiquities, but they also add useful insights into the political and socio-economic situation within Iran during this period (Wright 1998; 1999; Simpson in press; forthcoming). The following paper offers some research possibilities by focusing on the evidence of the Achemenet janvier 2005 1 ARTA 2005.001 Fig. 1: Gate of All Nations graffiti left by some of these travellers to the site. Some bio- graphical details have been added where considered appro- priate but many of these individuals deserve a level of detailed research lying beyond the scope of this preliminary survey.

  • A Balkanist in Daghestan: Annotated Notes from the Field Victor A
    A Balkanist in Daghestan: Annotated Notes from the Field Victor a. Friedman University of Chicago Introduction and Disclaimer The Republic of Daghestan has received very little attention in the West. Chenciner (1997) is the only full-length account in English based on first-hand visits mostly in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Wixman's (1980) excellent study had to be based entirely on secondary sources, and Bennigsen and Wimbush (1986:146-81 et passim), while quite useful, is basically encyclopedic and somewhat dated. Since Daghestan is still difficult to get to, potentially unstable, and only infrequently visited by Western scholars (mostly linguists), I am offering this account of my recent visit there (16-20 June 1998), modestly supplemented by some published materials. My intent is basically informative and impressionistic, and I do not attempt to give complete coverage to many topics worthy of further research. This account does, however, update some items covered in the aforementioned works and makes some observations on Daghestan with respect to language, identity, the political situation, and a comparison with the another unstable, multi-ethnic, identity construction site, i.e., Balkans, particularly Macedonia. Background Daghestan is the third most populous Republic in the Russian Federation (after Bashkortostan and Tatarstan; Osmanov 1986:24). The northern half of its current territory, consisting of the Nogai steppe and the Kizljar region settled in part by Terek Cossacks, was added in 1922, after the fall of the North Caucasian

  • Water Dispute Escalating Between Iran and Afghanistan
    Atlantic Council SOUTH ASIA CENTER ISSUE BRIEF Water Dispute Escalating between Iran and Afghanistan AUGUST 2016 FATEMEH AMAN Iran and Afghanistan have no major territorial disputes, unlike Afghanistan and Pakistan or Pakistan and India. However, a festering disagreement over allocation of water from the Helmand River is threatening their relationship as each side suffers from droughts, climate change, and the lack of proper water management. Both countries have continued to build dams and dig wells without environmental surveys, diverted the flow of water, and planted crops not suitable for the changing climate. Without better management and international help, there are likely to be escalating crises. Improving and clarifying existing agreements is also vital. The United States once played a critical role in mediating water disputes between Iran and Afghanistan. It is in the interest of the United States, which is striving to shore up the Afghan government and the region at large, to help resolve disagreements between Iran and Afghanistan over the Helmand and other shared rivers. The Atlantic Council Future Historical context of Iran Initiative aims to Disputes over water between Iran and Afghanistan date to the 1870s galvanize the international when Afghanistan was under British control.
