The Central Asian slave trade swept hundreds of thousands of
Iranians, Russians, and others into slavery during the
eighteenth-nineteenth centuries. Drawing on eyewitness accounts,
autobiographies, and newly-uncovered interviews with slaves, this
book offers an unprecedented window into slaves' lives and a
penetrating examination of human trafficking. Slavery strained
Central Asia's relations with Russia, England, and Iran, and would
serve as a major justification for the Russian conquest of this
region in the 1860s-70s. Challenging the consensus that the Russian
Empire abolished slavery with these conquests, Eden uses these
documents to reveal that it was the slaves themselves who brought
about their own emancipation by fomenting the largest slave
uprising in the region's history.
