Slavery and Islam: The Whole Story

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Justin Marozzi discusses his new book Captives and Companions: A History of Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Islamic World. 

Justin traces the long, varied history of slavery in the Islamic world, arguing that slavery could sometimes offer remarkable paths to freedom and power, but that these exceptions never erased the violence of capture, ownership and exploitation—or the uneasy entanglement of abolition with Western imperialism.

Justin explains:

 The scale and longevity of slavery in the Islamic world

 The spiritual status of enslaved people in early Islam

 The Quran, manumission and the legal regulation of slavery

 The Islamic conquests and the expansion of slave-taking

 Anti-black racism and the Zanj Revolt in Abbasid Iraq

 Concubines, eunuchs, and sexual slavery

 Mamluks, Janissaries and elite forms of servitude

 Christian and Muslim slave-raiding across the Mediterranean

 Ottoman abolition and its entanglement with Western imperialism

 Modern slavery, Daesh and hereditary servitude in Mauritania
