In this important book, Clarence-Smith provides the first general
survey of the Islamic debate on slavery. Sweeping away entrenched
myths, he hopes to stimulate more research on the neglected topic.
He draws on examples from the 'abode of Islam', from the
Philippines to Senegal and from the Caucasus to South Africa,
paying particular attention for the period from the late eighteenth
century to the present. Once slavery had disappeared, it was the
Sufi mystics who did most to integrate former slaves socially and
religiously, avoiding the deep social divisions that have plagued
Western society in the aftermath of abolition.
