La révolte des Zanj et le premier État créé par des esclaves
L’État fondé en 869 près de Bagdad par les esclaves révoltés est le premier du genre dans l’histoire de l’humanité. Il n’en existe qu’un seul autre : Haïti.

In my ≈ 2½ to 3¾ careers so far, no doubt the hardest thing I've had to do is publish a peer-reviewed journal article. This one took just over 3 yrs from workshop paper to #publication (albeit w a pandemic in between). It's about the #agency of #silk cloth in the #Zanj Rebellion agains the #Abbasid #Caliphate (869-883AD) in #Iraq & #Iran, part of a great thematic dossier on #rebellions in the first Islamic centuries. Will try to summarise later!
