Akıl Çelen Kitaplar Middle East Da the Concept of Race and Slavery

Product description

In his work on the history of the middle east and islam, bernard lewis, one of the world's leading historians, delves into the institution of slavery and the culture of slavery, topics that have received little research and are even considered taboo. It examines the evolution of the institution of slavery, from its initial emergence to its eventual abolition. This institution reveals its relationship with the concept of race in particular. Lewis, while examining racial perception and slavery in the middle east, opens up a discussion on a myth rooted in european and american history: 'the people of the middle east never resorted to the racial oppression that emerged in south africa at that time or continued until recently in the usa. ...the american civil war had brought the issue of slavery starkly into the minds of europeans. It was inevitable that comparisons would be drawn, and the stark differences led some european observers to advocate for slavery in the islamic world, or at the very least, to glorify the racial attitudes of muslims. Lewis argues that historical evidence of what happened doesn't support the claim that the middle east is free from racism and discrimination, and that the issue is a confrontation with historical reality. My intention here is not to engage in a moralistic debate, whether by comparing circumcision to apartheid as acts of anti-humanism, or by arguing about the relative evils of what's done in the east and the west. My intention is rather to reject both an exclusive virtue and stain thought to be exclusive, and to point to some general troubles of our common humanity. Correcting an error, even if it's emotionally comforting and politically expedient, is legitimate

in fact, it's essential for a historian. Lewis, "in this book, i've strived to address a matter of significant historical importance fairly and objectively, and to fulfill this without engaging in polemics or resorting to excuses." ...expressing their views on the historian's role and how they should approach historical material, and presenting an original and masterful work that all historians should emulate. The concept of race and slavery in the middle east, with rich first-level historical documents, both explains the subject in depth and offers an important resource for those who will research this subject.
