FBK-ISIG Tavola Ovale di Storia moderna
Slavery in the Mediterranean, from ancient times through the abolition era, is often thought to have been mostly unaffected by racial issues. It is usually considered to have been, above all, shaped by religious divides: men and women were enslaved according to their religious affiliation. But at the same time, in this type of slavery, dark-skinned enslaved men and women were often in the most subordinate positions compared to other dominated groups. Can historical studies on race help to shed light on this Mediterranean slavery, or conversely, can the Mediterranean case provide a different understanding of racialization processes during the early modern period? - https://isig.fbk.eu/it/events/detail/31564/blackness-and-islam-among-enslaved-north-africans-in-18th-century-mediterranean-europe-2026/
