In this groundbreaking book, Sandra E. Greene explores the lives of
three prominent West African slave owners during the age of
abolition. These first-published biographies reveal personal and
political accomplishments and concerns, economic interests,
religious beliefs, and responses to colonial rule in an attempt to
understand why the subjects reacted to the demise of slavery as
they did. Greene emphasizes the notion that the decisions made by
these individuals were deeply influenced by their personalities,
desires to protect their economic and social status, and their
insecurities and sympathies for wives, friends, and other
associates. Knowing why these individuals and so many others in
West Africa made the decisions they did, Greene contends, is
critical to understanding how and why the institution of indigenous
slavery continues to influence social relations in West Africa to
this day.
