A History of Slavery and Emancipation in Iran, 1800-1929

"A History of Slavery and Emancipation in Iran, 1800-1929" offers a comprehensive analysis of slavery and its impacts on Iranian society between 1800 and 1929. Written by Behnaz A. Mirzai, a recognized authority in the field of slavery and the African diaspora in modern Iran, this work sheds light on the complex social, political, and economic structures that led to the emergence and maintenance of slavery in this important Middle Eastern country. The book examines how slavery shaped not only the individual fates of those affected but also the national identity and character of Iran. With 344 pages, it provides a well-researched and detailed exploration of an often-overlooked chapter of Iranian history and contributes to the broader discussion on slavery and its consequences in the region.
