Book Review
Black Morocco: A History of Slavery, Race, and Islam
2015
Overview
\"The history of slavery in Morocco,\" and of Morocco as a whole, El Hamel demonstrates, \"cannot be considered separately from the racial terror of the global slave trade\" (p. 4), and to ignore the complicated history of blackness in Morocco represents, itself, a project of whitening. The first chapter's insistence on the necessity of rereading both the Qur'an itself and Islamic jurisprudence in relation to political projects of racialization interrogates basic assumptions about the nature of concubinage, gendered slavery, and moral constructions of sexuality in Islam broadly.
