520 2  "In Slavery, Agriculture, and Malaria in the Arabian 
       Peninsula, Benjamin Reilly illuminates a previously 
       unstudied phenomenon: the large-scale employment of people
       of African ancestry as slaves in agricultural oases within
       the Arabian Peninsula. The key to understanding this 
       unusual system, Reilly argues, is the prevalence of 
       malaria within Arabian Peninsula oases and drainage basins,
       which rendered agricultural lands in Arabia extremely 
       unhealthy for people without genetic or acquired 
       resistance to malarial fevers. In this way, Arabian slave 
       agriculture had unexpected similarities to slavery as 
       practiced in the Caribbean and Brazil. This book 
       synthesizes for the first time a body of historical and 
       ethnographic data about slave-based agriculture in the 
       Arabian Peninsula. Reilly uses an innovative methodology 
       to analyze the limited historical record and a 
       multidisciplinary approach to complicate our 
       understandings of the nature of work in an area that is 
       popularly thought of solely as desert. This work makes 
       significant contributions both to the global literature on
       slavery and to the environmental history of the Middle 
       East--an area that has thus far received little attention 
       from scholars"--|cProvided by publisher.
