Book Description
This book 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 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 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.

Book Description
Yemen is by far the most fertile part of the Arabian peninsula, yet agriculture is a hard scrabble. There are two major regions: the smaller coastal region or Tihama and the more extensive mountainous highlands. The Tihama is a narrow, hot, humid semi-, desert, almost waterless an strip that extends the entire seacoast from Maydi on the northern frontier Saudi Arabia to the Bab al Mandab at with the country's southern limits and occupies approximately 10% of the country. These 20,300 sq. Km. miles are watered principally by seven major wadis carrying runoff from the highlands. Their waters seldom reach the sea and rarely flow throughout the year. The climate is oppressively topical. Temperatures often reach 55 degrees c. and even in the cool season range into the 30's, humidity readings of 80% or more are not uncommon. Rainfall in the wetter areas of the Tihama only rarely exceeds 300mm annually. Natural vegetation is sparse and the area is subject to severe windstorms and shifting sands
