Eastern Slavery In Mohammedan Lands A Gentle Bond
The article argues that slaves in Mohammedan countries are often treated as family members rather than brutal property. It notes rare cruelty, with one case of a ring fetter in Bent Harb, and explains that slaves may earn freedom, inherit, and that children of a master and slave hold equal status. Many freedmen become prominent merchants in Mecca and Jeddah.
