In African Muslim societies domestic slavery was a deeply
entrenched institution, accepted as a matter of course by African
believers and Muslim lawyers. This study, first published by Hurst
in 1970, has been extensively revised, with a new introduction and
an extra chapter on slavery taken from the work, "Sahara and
Sudan". It discusses domestic slavery in the context of the
religious, social and economic conditions of Islamic societies, the
status of slaves and their roles as currency, goods, enuchs,
soldiers and statesman. Comparative detail has also been added from
the accounts of Leo Africanus, Ibn Battuta and other African
scholars.
