In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the daily reality of Zanzibar's slave markets, focusing on the 19th century when the island was the epicenter of East African slave trade. They discuss the infamous Stone Town market, where captives from the interior were auctioned, the role of Indian financiers like Jairam Sewji, and the British abolitionist pressure that led to the Moresby Treaty of 1822 and the Frere Treaty of 1873. Lucas explains the hierarchy of enslaved people, from field hands on clove shambas to domestic servants in Omani palaces, and describes the harrowing journey from the mainland via Bagamoyo. The episode also covers the rise of the watoro (runaway communities) and the eventual closure of the market under Sultan Barghash. A nuanced look at a painful history that shaped modern Zanzibar. #Zanzibar #SlaveTrade #StoneTown #BarghashBinSaid #JairamSewji #MoresbyTreaty #FrereTreaty #Watoro #CloveShambas #Bagamoyo #IndianOceanHistory #EastAfricanHistory #OmaniEmpire #Busaidi #Abolition #19thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
