In 1937, British officials convened a conference at Sharjah's al-Hisn Fort that aimed to suppress the slave trade along the Trucial Coast. This episode unpacks the fraught negotiations between Political Agent Captain Tom Hickinbotham and local rulers like Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr al-Qasimi of Sharjah and Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi. We explore the clash between abolitionist pressure and entrenched economic interests—the pearl beds, the camel caravans, the date plantations—where unfree labor was woven into daily life. We also examine the limits of British power: the Trucial Oman Levies could patrol the coast, but the interior, the Liwa Oasis, the Empty Quarter, remained beyond reach. Listeners will hear how the conference produced a treaty that banned the import and export of slaves, but left domestic slavery untouched—a compromise that reveals the deep contradictions of empire on the eve of oil. Featuring first-hand accounts from British archives and the voices of local merchants who resisted abolition, this episode offers a rare look at a chapter of UAE history that is often overlooked. #Slavery #TrucialCoast #Sharjah1937 #CaptainHickinbotham #SheikhSultanbinSaqr #SheikhShakhbut #AbuDhabi #BritishEmpire #Abolition #PearlDiving #alHisnFort #BaniYas #Qawasim #IndianOcean #LiwaOasis #TrucialOmanLevies #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
