Why not look at the Arab slave trade? Went on for longer and a far bigger scale? But I suppose this doesn't fit in with the leftist narrative.[/QUOTE]
But the aim is to look for a gap in research and to enquire and learn more about how it functioned. Why would you look at the Arab slave trade when, which owing to the fact it went on for longer and on a far bigger scale, there is already lots of academia on the subject? You wouldn't get any funding for that, or very little because there is, arguably, not a lot to gain from doing even more research on it.
