This book applies oral, archival and other interdisciplinary
evidence from West Africa and the Americas to analyses of new world
Maroons, slaves and free blacks, examining a "Gold Coast" entrepot
of Akan, Ga, Guan and other peoples in an Atlantic era of
non-linear, mutable intersection of contested history and culture.
Combining extant evidence with newer interdisciplinary insights to
reconsider under-recognized histories and actors, Identity, Spirit
and Freedom in the Atlantic World explores West African
cosmologies, regional statecraft and socio-cultural practice, and
the way they contributed to Atlantic ideas of freedom, identity and
spirituality. Archival researches of British, Dutch and Danish
Atlantic thoroughfares bring to light histories of royals, priests
and others remade as captive laborers, Maroons and free blacks.
Looking at Akwamu's overtaking of Great Accra, Jamaica's Maroon
Wars, the 1712 Rebellion in New York and many other examples, this
book explores the evolution of identity and spirituality in the
diaspora of the Gold Coast and the Atlantic world. Identity, Spirit
and Freedom in the Atlantic World will be of interest to scholars
and students of African studies, the African diaspora, cultural
studies and Atlantic and American history.
