Conquered Populations in Early Islam: Non-Arabs Slaves, and the Sons of Slave Mothers

Conquered Populations in Early Islam: Non-Arabs Slaves, and the Sons of Slave Mothers

Description

This book traces the journey of new Muslims as they joined the early Islamic community and articulated their identities within it. It focuses on Muslims of slave origins, who belonged to the society in which they lived but whose background of slavery rendered them somehow alien. How did these Muslims at the crossroads of insider and outsider find their place in early Islamic society? How did Islamic society itself change to accommodate these new members?
