A Tale of Two Rebellions
on Afropop Worldwide

Over a thousand years ago, two massive revolts by disaffected Africans-one in the marshes of southern Iraq, another in the mountains of present-day Tunisia-sent shock waves through a young Islamic empire and forever transformed Islamic politics. These uprisings also left their mark on the culture and sensibilities of the Middle East-right down to the rhythms and melodies of Arab and North African music. Author and scholar Joseph Braude guides us through the African-led Zanj rebellion, and the Fatimid revolution a century later--fast-paced narratives loaded with musical wild cards.
