Description: Slavery and Empire in Central Asia by Jeff Eden Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This in-depth study of the slave trade that spurred the Russian conquest of Central Asia offers an unprecedented window into slaves lives from eyewitness accounts, autobiographies, and newly-uncovered interviews which demonstrate that the slaves brought about their own emancipation by fomenting the largest slave uprising in the regions history. Publisher Description The Central Asian slave trade swept hundreds of thousands of Iranians, Russians, and others into slavery during the eighteenth–nineteenth centuries. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, autobiographies, and newly-uncovered interviews with slaves, this book offers an unprecedented window into slaves lives and a penetrating examination of human trafficking. Slavery strained Central Asias relations with Russia, England, and Iran, and would serve as a major justification for the Russian conquest of this region in the 1860s–70s. Challenging the consensus that the Russian Empire abolished slavery with these conquests, Eden uses these documents to reveal that it was the slaves themselves who brought about their own emancipation by fomenting the largest slave uprising in the regions history.
