Slaves, spices & ivory in Zanzibar: Integration of an East African commercial empire into the world economy, 1770–1873

---

This book is an in-depth study of Zanzibar's development as an international trading center in East Africa between 1770 and 1873. Abdul Sheriff analyzes how the slave, spice, and ivory trades shaped Zanzibar's economic structure and integrated it into the world economy. Using an economic history approach, the author traces the role of Arab, Swahili, and Indian traders, as well as colonial powers, in building extensive commercial networks. Sheriff also discusses the social, political, and economic changes resulting from the growing global demand for East African commodities. This work serves as an important reference for understanding Zanzibar's economic transformation and the dynamics of Indian Ocean trade in the 18th and 19th centuries.
