About this listen

In this episode, we examine the Barbary slave trade, a significant yet often overlooked part of history that took place from the 16th to the 19th century. Pirates from the Barbary Coast, which stretched along the North African coast, raided European ships and coastal villages, capturing people to be sold into slavery. We’ll explore the motivations behind the trade, the vast networks that supported it, and the devastating impact it had on both European and African communities. Tune in to uncover this dark period and understand the role the Barbary pirates played in shaping the history of the Mediterranean and beyond.
