Description:
A startling exploration of slavery in the Islamic world from the 7th century to the present




Slavery in the Islamic world has a long, complex and controversial history. Captives and Companions is a brilliant synthesis of history and contemporary reportage, which brings to life the voices of the enslaved in stories of eighth-century concubines and ninth-century revolts, thirteenth-century slave soldiers who established dynastic rule over Egypt, Syria and Iraq, eighteenth-century corsairs and twentieth century


pearl divers in the Gulf. It also includes first-hand accounts of this legacy in the twenty-first century, including the depredations of Daesh and continuing hereditary slavery in Mali and Mauritania.




Justin Marozzi traces the extraordinary variety of enslavement in the Islamic world, which ranged from agricultural labour and domestic toil to elite concubinage, guardianship of sacred spaces, political leadership and even military command. He shows how Africa bore the brunt of the demand for slave labour, fuelled throughout the nineteenth century by expanding global markets and commodity chains. Slavers plied African coasts, traders raided inland for human cargo, and millions were marched across the Sahara into captivity. Meanwhile, North African corsairs turned the Mediterranean into a slave-raiding 'free-for-all' between Muslims, Christians and Jews.




Taking the reader on an extraordinary historical journey from Baghdad to Bamako, Tripoli to Timbuktu, Istanbul to the Black Sea, this is the riveting human drama of those caught up in one of history's most remarkable overlooked stories.

The best, but also the most expensive
Size: 160 Count (Pack of 1)
These are the best dry mouth tabs I’ve found. They actually stick-on and last for hours. I struggle so much with dry mouth when I sleep and these have been the longest lasting. They are pretty expensive, which is why I gave them 4* instead of 5, but I haven’t found any that work better.

Huge Disappointment & Waste of $17.09
Size: 160 Count (Pack of 1)
I have been using "OraCoat XyliMelts Dry Mouth Relief Oral Adhering Discs Slightly Sweet with Xylitol" everynight for years. They work like a charm and I wake up feeling fresh and ready for the day. When I saw "Oracoat® FreshMelts® Fresh Breath Stick-on™ Melts" I was super excited. I was hoping they would be a little more minty and similiar to the XyliMelts, but saddly they are not. The Freshmelts do not have a good taste, something was just off with the flavor (chemical?). They did not help moisten my mouth like XyliMelts do. Adhering well is honestly the is only positive thing. Because the XyliMelts have been such an amazing product, I purchased the 160 count for $17.09 and I am unable to return them. I really expected more from Oracoat. I would NOT recommend this product.
