"Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business."
- Henry David Thoreau
(1817 - 1862)

| |  | | | In Brief
This book considers the circumstances and conditions in which slavery occurred in the Islamic world. The author "argues here that a myth was created in the West that posited an Islamic world of 'racial innocence,' one in which prejudice did not exist and in which slavery, while present, was muted." (NY Times Book Rev) Index.
| | | | From The Publisher
Race and Slavery in the Middle East illuminates the legacy of slavery in the region where it lasted longest, from the days of warrior slaves and palace eunuchs and concubines to the final drive for abolition. Illustrated with outstanding reproductions of striking artwork, it casts a new light on this critical part of the world, and on the nature and interrelation of slavery and racial prejudice.
