The study of migration and diasporas is not new,3 but it has become increasingly fashionable in recent years, partly because it has clear political implications to contemporary concerns in many societies that had been the target of forced, semi-voluntary, or voluntary migration. This book explores the history of African migration in diaspora, effects and consequences. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/471 Slavery, Islam and diaspora MIRZAI, Behnaz A.; MONTANA, Ismael Musah; LOVEJOY, Paul E. Slavery, Islam and Diaspora explores slavery in the context of the Muslim world through a study of the African Diaspora. The volume identifies the enslaved population as a distinct social stratum in Islamic societies and reflects on the ways Islam has been used to justify enslavement, liberate slaves, and defend the autonomy of communities. Local perceptions of Islam are shown to have strongly influenced the way people understood slavery. A cast of talented scholars provides a rich and remarkable volume on the crucial linkages between Islam and slavery in different spaces and places, as well as historical eras, doing so to enrich our understanding of slavery and identity, religion and religious memory, historical commemoration, and the complicated contours of resistance and fiercely nationalistic values. 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/470 Slavery, abolition and the transition to colonialism in Sierra Leone Lovejoy, Paul E.; Schwarz, Suzanne The book has its origin in an international conference on Sierra Leone co-sponsored and hosted in September 2008 to commemorate the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
