Much of the research and study of the formation of Sierra Leone
focuses almost exclusively on the role of the so-called Creoles, or
descendants of ex-slaves from Europe, North America, Jamaica, and
Africa living in the colony. In this book, Joseph J. Bangura cuts
through this typical narrative surrounding the making of the
British colony, and instead offers a fresh look at the role of the
often overlooked indigenous Temne-speakers. Bangura explores,
however, the socio-economic formation, establishment, and evolution
of Freetown, from the perspective of different Temne-speaking
groups, including market women, religious figures, and community
leaders and the complex relationships developed in the process.
Examining key issues, such as the politics of belonging, African
agency, and the creation of national identities, Bangura offers an
account of Sierra Leone that sheds new perspectives on the social
history of the colony.
