Afro-Iranians (Persian : ایرانیان آفریقاییتبار ) are Iranian people of African Zanj heritage. Most Afro-Iranians are concentrated in the coastal provinces of Persian Gulf such as Hormozagan , Sistan and Baluchestan , Bushehr , and Khuzestan .[2]
History [ edit ]
A Safavid oil painting of an African soldier in Safavid Iran . Created in Isfahan in the last quarter of the 17th century, the figure was most likely a slave soldier in Safavid Iran's musketeer corps
The Indian Ocean slave trade was multi-directional and changed over time. To meet the demand for menial labor, enslaved black people who were captured by Arab slave traders were sold in cumulatively large numbers over centuries to; the Persian Gulf , Egypt , Arabia , India , the Far East , the Indian Ocean islands and Ethiopia .[3] Ormus 's Bandar Abbas , Hormoz and Qeshm island ports in southern Iran by early 16th century .[4] [5]
During Qajar rule , many wealthy households imported Black African women and children to perform domestic work alongside Eastern European Circassian slaves. This was largely drawn from the Zanj Bantu -speaking peoples that lived alongside Southeast Africa .[6] Tanzania , Mozambique and Malawi .[7] Mohammad Shah Qajar issued a firman [8]
