The ex-slave, Krio population of Freetown, Sierra Leone - an
amalgam of ethnicities drawn from several parts of the African
continent - is a fascinating study in hybridity, creolization,
European cultural penetration, the retention of African cultural
values, and the interface between New World returnees and
autochthonous populations of West Africa. Although its Nigerian
connections are often acknowledged, insufficient attention has been
paid to the indigenous Sierra Leonean roots of this community. This
anthology addresses this problem, while celebrating the
complexities of Krio identity in Krio interaction with other ethnic
groups and nationalities in the British colonial experience.
