SKLAVEREI IN DER GROSSEN SEENREGION OSTAFRIKAS. Arabischer Sklavenhandel, Sansibar
Eastern African Studies SLAVERY IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION OF EAST AFRICA Edited by HENRI MÉDARD & SHANE DOYLE JAMES CURREY: OXFORD 2007 14 x 22 cm. xiv + 273 pp. This book enlarges perceptions of one of the main themes of African history. Slavery was more important in the Great Lakes region than often has been assumed and Africans from the interior played a more complex role than was previously recognised. These are ten studies by the most prominent historians of the region, four of which have been translated from French. They reveal the connections between the peoples of the region as well as their encounters with the conquering Europeans. The growth of Zanzibari and Sudanese trade had consequences for local forms of slavery. Slave traders were often compelled to negotiate with African leaders more than in neighbouring areas.
