The abolition of slavery in and around the Western Indian Ocean
have been little studied. This collection examines the meaning of
slavery and its abolition in relation to specific indigenous
societies and to Islam, a religion that embraced the entire region,
and draws comparisons between similar developments in the Atlantic
system. Case studies include South Africa, Mauritius, Madagascar,
the Benadir Coast, Arabia, the Persian Gulf and India. This volume
marks an important new development in the study of slavery and its
abolition in general, and an original approach to the history of
slavery in the Indian Ocean and Asia regions.
