Anouar Majid publishes article on enslavement of Christians by Muslims in ‘Princeton Companion to Atlantic History’

An article by Anouar Majid, Ph.D., vice president for Global Affairs and director of the Center for Global Humanities, on Muslims enslaving Christians just after the American Revolution was recently published in The Princeton Companion to Atlantic History, edited by Joseph C. Miller.

The book explores the connections among Africa, the Americas and Europe that transformed world history between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries through maritime exploration, commercial engagements, human migrations and settlements, political realignments and upheavals, cultural exchanges, and more. The first encyclopedic reference work on Atlantic history, it takes an integrated, multicontinental approach that emphasizes the dynamics of change and the perspectives and motivations of the peoples who made it happen.

The entries—all specially commissioned for this volume from an international team of leading scholars—synthesize the latest scholarship on central themes, including economics, migration, politics, war, technologies and science, the physical environment and culture.
