Book Description:
|
In this groundbreaking work, Ismael Montana fully explicates the complexity of Tunisian society and culture and reveals how the abolition of slavery was able to occur in an environment hostile to such change. Moving beyond typical slave trade studies, he departs from the traditional regional paradigms that isolate slavery in North Africa from its global dynamics to examine the trans-Saharan slave trade in a broader historical context.
