However, there is another slave trade, previously neglected by historians, which matches the European one in scale and massively exceeds it in duration. Islam’s Black Slaves tells the horrifying story of the Islamic slave trade. It traces the business of slavery from Islam’s inception in the seventh century, through to today, where in Sudan and Mauritania, Africans continue to be bought and sold. The book also examines why the existence of this other black diaspora has been denied for so long. It is a highly original account of a previously untold story
