Example text
Severe exploitation and oppression of a large number of slaves concentrated near Basra led to a series of slave revolts from the end of the seventh century, and culminated in the famous 'Zanji rebellion' in the ninth century when the rebels controlled southern Iraq for fourteen years (86883). The revolt was suppressed but, by their resistance, the slaves had ensured the failure of one of the few cases of agricultural exploitation based on slave labour in Muslim history. The subsequent economic decline of the Middle East meant that the slave trade did not again attain such massive proportions until the eighteenth century.
During the first century AD, imports included metal tools and weapons, but also wine and wheat 'to gain the goodwill ofthe barbarians'. By the thirteenth century they included beads, Chinese porcelain and cloth, part of which was consumed by the affluent merchant classes in the city-states themselves. Such imports may at times have offered stiff competition to local bead and textile industries. 5 While merchant capital thus helped to expand the production and circulation of commodities, it may also have helped to impart to East African economic structures a certain lopsided character, with overdeveloped commercial, mining and hunting sectors, and a more stunted industrial sector.
