Conquered populations in early Islam : non-Arabs, slaves and the sons of slave mothers

Conquered populations in early Islam non-Arabs, slaves and the sons of slave mothers

This book traces the journey of new Muslims as they joined the early Islamic community and articulated their identities within it. It focuses on Muslims of slave origins, who belonged to the society in which they lived but whose slave background rendered them somehow alien.
