Great post. On the topic of central asian slavery, I remember hearing William Dalrymple tell a story of central asian slavers, I can’t remember if they were kazakhs or not, in which they held their captives by tying a rope around their clavicles, so they wouldn’t escape. But I’ve never found any other reference for this, and I’m beginning to wonder if it’s actually true at all.
