Ismael M. Montana (Northern Illinois University) will give a lecture titled "Ahmad b. al-Qāḍī al-Timbuktāwī: Pilgrimage, Intellectual Exchange, and Condemnation of the Enslaved Religion of the Blacks of Tunis." His talk will draw on his recently published book, Blacks of Tunis in al-Timbuktāwī’s Hatk al-Sitr: A West African Jihadist’s Perspective on Bori, Religious Deviance, and Race and Enslavement in Ottoman Tunisia (Brill, 2024).
