In the late 19th century, an active slave trade sustained social and economic networks
across the Ottoman Empire and throughout Egypt, Sudan, the Caucasus, and Western Europe.
Unlike the Atlantic trade, slavery in this region crossed and mixed racial and ethnic
lines. Fair-skinned Circassian men and women were as vulnerable to enslavement in
the Nile Valley as were teenagers from Sudan or Ethiopia. Tell This in My Memory opens
up a new window in the study of slavery in the modern Middle East, taking up personal
narratives of slaves and slave owners to shed light on the anxieties and intimacies
of personal experience. The framework of racial identity constructed through these
stories proves instrumental in explaining how countries later confronted--or not--the
legacy of the slave trade. Today, these vocabularies of slavery live on for contemporary
refugees whose forced migrations often replicate the journeys and stigmas faced by
slaves in the 19th century
