Reconfiguring Slavery focuses on the range of trajectories followed
by slavery as an institution since the various abolitions of the
nineteenth century. It also considers the continuing and
multi-faceted strategies that descendants of both owners and slaves
have developed to make what use they can of their forebears' social
positions, or to distance themselves from them. Reconfiguring
Slavery contains both anthropological and historical contributions
that present new empirical evidence on contemporary manifestations
of slavery and related phenomena in Mauritania, Benin, Niger,
Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal, and the Gambia. As a whole, the volume
advances a renewed conceptual framework for understanding slavery
in West Africa today: instead of retracing the end of West African
slavery, this work highlights the preliminary contours of its
recent reconfigurations.
