These two volumes are the long-awaited results of a conference on ‘Islamic Africa: slavery and related institutions’, held at Princeton in 1977. Of the ten papers in the first volume, four are geographically located in Africa, while the others relate to Africa and Africans in various ways: in the second volume, all nine papers are specifically about Africa. Rather than listing the papers here, I shall try to say something about each in the following discussion.
