Slavery and Reform in West Africa - Toward Emancipation in Nineteenth Century Senegal and the Gold Coast (Paperback)

This work states that African slaves and slave owners played a central role both in the expansion of slavery and the reform of servile relationships. Local elites resisted, diverted and appropriated metropolitan attempts to end or restrict access to and control of slaves. At the same time slaves were able to liberate themselves and take part in mass emancipations. The situationwas transformed by the introduction of new economic opportunities and politicisation and social change among slaves themselves. North America: Ohio U Press
