The East African Slave Trade: The History and Legacy of the Arab Slave Trade and the Indian Ocean Slave Trade , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
It is certain that large numbers of slaves were exported from eastern Africa; the best evidence for this is the magnitude of the Zanj revolt in Iraq in the 9th century, though not all of the slaves involved were Zanj. There is little evidence of what part of eastern Africa the Zanj came from, for the name is here evidently used in its general sense, rather than to designate the particular stretch of the coast... to which the name was also applied. (Ghada Hashem Talhami, "The Zanj Rebellion Reconsidered", The International Journal of African Historical Studies) It has often been said that the greatest invention of all time was the sail, which facilitated the internationalization of the globe and thus ushered in the modern era. It was the sail that linked the continents of Africa, Asia, and Europe, and thus it was also the sail that facilitated the greatest involuntary human migration of all time. The transatlantic slave trade was founded by the Portuguese in the 15th century for the specific purpose of supplying the New World colonies with African slave labor. It was soon joined by all the major trading powers of Europe, and it reached its peak in the 18th century with the founding and development of plantation economies that ran from the South American mainland through the Caribbean and into the southern states of the United States. The East African Slave Trade, on the other hand, or the Indian Ocean Slave Trade as it was also known, was a far more complex and nuanced phenomenon, far older, significantly more widespread, rooted in ancient traditions, and governed by rules very different to those in the western hemisphere. It is also often referred to as the Arab Slave Trade, although this, specifically, might perhaps be more accurately applied to the more ancient variant of organized African slavery, affecting North Africa, and undertaken prior to the advent of Islam and certainly prior to the spread of the institution south ungekürzt.

Auf der Suche nach Oum Kulthum
Die im Iran geborene aber im Exil lebende Regisseurin Mitra plant einen Film über die berühmte ägyptische Sängerin Oum Kulthum (1900 - 1975), die als Maria Callas des Orients gefeiert wurde und sich in einer männerdominierten Welt wie keine vor und kaum eine nach ihr behaupten konnte. In der jungen Sängerin Ghada findet sie eine perfekte Besetzung, aber die Dreharbeiten laufen dennoch nicht nach Wunsch. Einerseits stößt Mitra mit ihrem Perfektionismus an die physischen und psychischen Grenzen aller Beteiligten, andererseits lenken sie die Sorgen um ihren im Iran verschwundenen Sohn vom Projekt ab. So wird der Film im Film zu einer klugen Reflexion über das Frausein in einer männerdominierten Gesellschaft - vor mehr als 50 Jahren in Ägypten als auch im heutigen Iran und im Westen.- Shop: odax
