[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] Now as to the question of slavery among other parts of Africa. One great book on indigenous black AFrican slave masters and slavery is "A History of Indigenous Slavery in Ghana: From the 15th to the 19th Century" by Akosua Adoma Perbi. Of course among the largest of the slave traders were the Central AFrican kingdoms and West African kingdoms of the Sudan. Whole states were made up of slaves as in Borgou controlled by the Wangara or Songhai- related people who had adopted Mande. Blacks took other blacks as slaves and of course slavery still thrives in sub-Saharan Africa in Ghana and in Central AFrica. In Senegambia, in Ghana, among the Ashanti, Yoruba, Kanem, Chad up to a third of the inhabitants were thought to have been slaves. Slavery was outlawed in Nigeria only in 1936 a few decades before it was in Saudi Arabia. Slavery wasn't always about prisoners of war and hereditary slavery thrived in societies across the Sudan. Human trafficking of course continues as a major problem in Ghana especially child trafficking. Unfortunately there has been an equally tremendous neglect of the part slavery played in African societies for centuries. There was a continuation of this very ancient indigenous tradition into east Africa including that part known up until two centuries ago as the Hijaz and Arabia. Slavery of course is also found among the blacks of ancient Egypt and Nubia long before the arrival of Iranians, Turks and Syrians in Arabia or North AFrica. [/QB][/QUOTE]
