Boum's Western training, his familiarity with the local populations, and his personal connections to the…
Black Morocco
Black Morocco: A History of Slavery, Race, and Islam chronicles the experiences, identity and achievements of enslaved black people in Morocco from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. Chouki El Hamel argues that we cannot rely solely on Islamic ideology as the key to explain social relations and particularly the history of black slavery in the Muslim world, for this viewpoint yields an inaccurate historical record of …
The Register of the Slaves of Sultan Mawlay Isma‘il of Morocco at the Turn of the Eighteenth Century
In late-seventeenth-century Morocco, Mawlay Isma‘il commanded his officials to enslave all blacks: that is, to buy coercively or freely those already slaves and to enslave those who were free, including the Haratin (meaning free blacks or freed ex-slaves). This command violated the most salient Islamic legal code regarding the institution of slavery, which states that it is illegal to enslave fellow Muslims. This controversy caused a heated debat…
Surviving Slavery
The tragic hero of North African slavery is female. In Morocco in the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, female slaves, mainly black women originally from West Africa, survived and sometimes thrived by forging emotional bonds with their masters. The striving for survival and the tragic drama of the female slaves' lives entailed emotional and sexual bonds via concubinage. For free Moroccan men concubinage was legalized and was …
Constructing a Diasporic Identity
This article reconstructs the forgotten past of the Gnawa who, over many generations, productively negotiated their forced presence in Morocco to create acceptance and group solidarity. The diaspora of black West Africans in Morocco, the majority of whom were forcefully transported across the Sahara and sold in different parts of Morocco, shares some important traits with the African trans-Atlantic diaspora, but differs at the same time. There ar…

Muslim Diaspora in Western Europe
The hijab , an Arabic word that is related to Islamic proper dressing, has become a buzzword in contemporary French popular discourse. In the Islamic tradition, both men and women are required to dress modestly. Women traditionally cover their hair, a practice called hijab. This hijab (Islamic scarf) seems to have created a controversy in France in recent years, and the French media have exploited the matter even further. Even scholars seem to ha…
Race', slavery and Islam in Maghribi Mediterranean thought
Certain tenets are shared in North Africa that articulate Maghribi Mediterranean patterns of conceptualisation of power relations in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya — one Islam, one nation (al‐maghrib al‐'arabi), one culture, one language, and a silence. This culture of silence — the refusal to engage in discussions on slavery and racial attitudes — is the subject of this article. Internally, in the name of hegemony ‐Arab‐Islamic hegemony in …
The Transmission of Islamic Knowledge in Moorish Society from the Rise of the Almoravids to the 19th Century
L'erudition moderne s'interesse peu a l'histoire de l'Islam et au developpement des etudes islamiques du Sahara occidental. Pourtant, tout au long du Moyen Age jusqu'au debut des temps modernes, cette region a ete, culturellement et economiquement, un lien vital entre l'Afrique du Nord et l'Afrique noire occidentale. Cet article presente la maniere dont le savoir islamique etait transmis et enseigne dans les ecoles du Sahara jusqu'aux rivieres du…
