A HISTORY OF SLAVERY, RACE, AND ISLAM IN THE EYES OF CHOUKI EL HAMEL

Abstract

"Black Morocco", written by Professor Chouki El Hamel, sheds light on the history of slavery in North Africa. It describes the enslavement of blacks, their integration into the political system in the name of Islam, and the role of male and female slaves in Moroccan history, with an emphasis on the period of Ismail Mawlay (1672-1727). The book deals with the history of slavery and racism in Morocco, which is at the centre of the intra-African enslavement policy between the north and west of the African continent, through the relations of religion, tradition and politics. The book analyses the issue of slavery within the specific political and social structure of the continent.While "Black Morocco" reveals the reflections of a human tragedy that is thought to be a thing of the past in today's world, it also draws attention to the approach of religious scholars to slavery, race and gender issues from past to present.The book shows that the struggle for survival of peoples whose rights to life have been restricted and who have been uprooted from their social identities can be a way and a procedure to uncover the cultural codes in their memory in order to rebuild themselves.
