In the late nineteenth century, an active slave trade sustained
social and economic networks across the Ottoman Empire and
throughout Egypt, Sudan, the Caucasus, and Western Europe. Unlike
the Atlantic trade, slavery in this region crossed and mixed racial
and ethnic lines. Fair-skinned Circassian men and women were as
vulnerable to enslavement in the Nile Valley as were teenagers from
Sudan or Ethiopia.
"Tell This in My Memory" opens up a new window in the study of
slavery in the modern Middle East, taking up personal narratives of
slaves and slave owners to shed light on the anxieties and
intimacies of personal experience. The framework of racial identity
constructed through these stories proves instrumental in explaining
how countries later confronted--or not--the legacy of the slave
trade. Today, these vocabularies of slavery live on for
contemporary refugees whose forced migrations often replicate the
journeys and stigmas faced by slaves in the nineteenth century.
