1.9. Non-fossil fuels. Slavery in Arabia since the 16th century.

The show discusses to what extend the historical practice of slavery resonates in today’s Arabia. We shall focus on a part of the peninsula that usually doesn’t get the attention it deserves: Oman. The Omanis used to have a maritime empire that stretched all the way from Somalia to Mozambique. Its most important economic activity was the slave trade. Used works will, as always, appear on Facebook.
