[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elite Diasporan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elite Diasporan: Northwest Africa prior to the Muslim expulsion from Europe was sparsely populated. [/QUOTE]So if the morisco expulsion was 500,000 or less you are saying the population of the maghreb was less than 500,000 prior to the expulsion? What estimates do you have for the population of Northwest Africa prior to the expulsion of the moriscos? [/qb][/QUOTE]Sorry for the late reply. Anyways that Jacques Heers quote argues that 50% of the population were slaves in Algeria. Also... The translator of Leo Africanus Robert Brown mentioned - "The many European races, including the Vandals under Genseric, and the endless European slaves who, turning renegade, became absorbed into the population must have left their mark over the all the Barbary states” (Brown, 1896, p. 203). According to Robert Davis Tripoli, was “occasionally reportedly crowded with large numbers of Greek slaves." (Davis, 2003, Christtian Slaves Muslim Masters, White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800.p. 112) While I do not have exact estimates of the population number of Northwest Africa prior to the Muslim expulsion many of these sources stating how the Muslim European population was able to absorb the native one seems to hint at Northwest Africa(especially Morocco and Algeria) being sparsely population. It seems outside of maybe Tunisia Northwest Africa was not as densely populated. [/QB][/QUOTE]
