Freamon, an African-American Muslim law professor, provides a penetrating analysis of the problems of slavery and slave-trading in Islamic history. After examining the issues from pre-Islamic times through to the nineteenth century, Professor Freamon considers the impact of Western abolitionism, arguing that such efforts have been a failure, with the notion of abolition becoming nothing more than a cruel illusion. He closes this ground-breaking account with an examination of the slaving ideologies and actions of ISIS and Boko Haram, asserting that Muslims now have an important and urgent responsibility to achieve true abolition under the aegis of Islamic law.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e See Bernard Freamon \u003ci\u003elive\u003c\/i\u003e at Rutgers Law School (October 8, 2019). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Listen to \u003ci\u003ePossessed by the Right Hand: An Interview with Prof. Bernard Freamon\u003c\/i\u003e from Network ReOrient on \u003ci\u003eAnchor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBernard K.
