SUMMARY:Justin Marozzi - Islam and Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Justin Marozzi has spent most of his professional life living and working in the Muslim world. A Fellow and former Trusteeof the Royal Geographical Society\, he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a senior advisor to the Middle East Association. His previous books include South from Barbary: Along the Slave Routes of the Libyan Sahara (2001)\, the bestselling Islamic Empires: Fifteen Cities that Define a Civilization(2019)\, Tamerlane: Sword of Islam\, Conqueror of the World (2004) and The Arab Conquests: The Spread of Islam and the First Caliphates(2021). Baghdad: City of Peace\, City of Blood (2014) won the Royal Society of Literature’s Ondaatje Prize and was praised by the judges as ‘a truly monumental achievement’. His latest book is Captives & Companions: A History of Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Islamic World\, described by Peter Frankopan as ‘A bold\, brilliant and timely history that confronts one of the most neglected and uncomfortable subjects in global history. Marozzi brings to life the complexity and humanity of the Islamic world’s entanglement with slavery using an extraordinary range of sources\, across more than a millennium and across sweeping geographies. Not just a mesmerising book\, but a profoundly important one too’.\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can find tickets here: \n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/justin-marozzi-islam-and-slavery-tickets-1813518174679

After spending the early part of his career at S.G. Warburg\, he co-founded Marshall Wace LLP\, one of London’s first hedge funds\, in 1997. He continues to serve as chairman and chief investment officer\, and Marshall Wace is today one of Europe’s largest hedge fund groups. \nMarshall became heavily involved in educational philanthropy during the 2000s: as the author of several books on British schools\, as founding trustee of the children’s charity ARK and chairman of ARK Schools\, and as lead Non-Executive Director at the Department for Education from 2013-16. His first venture into media was through the news website UnHerd in 2017. He later became a major investor in GBNews\, briefly serving as chairman\, before purchasing The Spectator in September 2024. \nFormerly a major donor to the Liberal Democrats and a contributor to the Orange Book\, Marshall left the party over its opposition to Brexit and his commitment to classical liberalism. He has since supported the Conservative Party and was one of the founders of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship in 2023 with Jordan Peterson. He is one of Britain’s premier philanthropists\, often near the top of the Sunday Times Giving List. He was knighted in 2016. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sir-paul-marshall-reflections-of-an-accidental-media-owner-tickets-1322101945509″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
