Why were male slaves castrated during the Arab Slave Trade in Africa?
The Arab trade of Bantu slaves in Southeast Africa, existing 700 years prior to the European Atlantic slave trade, had distinct roles for enslaved individuals. Men were utilized as laborers, soldiers, or domestic workers, while women and children served primarily as concubines or household servants for Arab masters.
Male slaves, employed in agricultural labor or as harem guards, faced a grim fate to ensure they couldn't procreate with female slaves. They underwent forced castration, a brutal procedure where many lost their lives. Eunuchs were deemed more dependable for demanding tasks
