Colonial rule started with an endless succession of small, but
often brutal, wars of conquest, the moral justification for which
was that the European conquerors were bringing 'civilization' to
'darkest Africa'. An intrinsic part of this so-called 'civilizing
mission' was the eradication of slave raiding, slave trading and
slavery, all of which were widespread on the continent.
Some of the studies in this book are on areas where there has been
little research, such as the German colonies and the Algerian
Sahara. Others throw new light on questions already debated, such
as emancipation on the Gold Coast. Some focus on the impact of
abolition on particular groups of slaves. Among the themes
considered is the role of slaves in their own emancipation, the
short and long term results of abolition, the role of the League of
Nations, and the vestiges of slavery in Africa today.
