Where are the descendants of african slaves in the Middle East?

by ollowain86

Hi,

I read much about slavery in islamic countries. That it was not the same like in the „west“, but nevertheless large in size and quantity. White slaves were expensive, while african slaves were more cheap for most of the time and for most countries in the islamic Middle East.

But while we can see everywhere afro-americans, -brazlians, -carribeans, there are no large communities of african-turks, -iranians, -syrians etc. In Turkey there are only a few hundred to thousand african-turks.

Hence the question, where are they?

The Ottoman slave trade was mostly Caucasians (literally, people from the Caucuses). This answer doesn't directly address your question, but may point you in the right direction.
