The
revolt of African slaves in Iraq from 869 to 883 C.E.-the revolt of the
Zanj-was one of the great rebellions of world history and the first
major uprising in the history of the African diaspora. The Zanj were
black slaves shipped overseas from East Africa to work in salt mines and
plantations under the harshest conditions. Their fate resembled
trans-Atlantic slave trade, and their revolt triggered racism against
blacks among Arabs. Like the Spartacus revolt, it threatened a world
power, in this case the Abbasid empire. The revolt also inspired
solidarity among Africans in the diaspora, when black soldiers of the
Caliph deserted and joined the revolt.Popovic's book is the only
full-length study in any major language on the revolt of the Zanj.
Scholars on slavery, the African diaspora, and Middle Eastern Studies
have lauded and extensively quoted from Popovic's groundbreaking work.
