Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Years' Service on the Slave Coast of Western Africa, Vol. 1 of 2 There are few who do not remember the strenuous and laudable efforts which were made at first by a few men, solely guided by what they felt to be the dictates of piety and integrity, and whose perseverance in placing before the British mind the enormous iniquity of the slave trade, succeeded in inculcating a feeling of remorse, which they hoped would only terminate its existence with that of the revolting trade itself. This philanthropic school founded by perhaps not more than three men, Clarkson, Wilberforce, and Allen, by the force and truth of their humane representations, (so far as regarded the injustice of slavery in the abstract, ) not only drew around it a host of supporters equally zealous in tracing the several avenues which led to the attainment of the freedom of the enslaved African, and ready to follow the banner elevated in that cause, but by its growth and earnest appeals it also attracted the attention of the statesman, whether he regarded it as a sound measure of policy, a great and moral justice, or whether he saw in its ready adoption the means of enhancing his own power and of gratifying his own ambition by using it for the mere purposes of rendering himself prominent as an advocate of so popular a subject.

INVITED TO THE WESLEYAN MISSION.--THEIR GREAT CONSUMING CAPABILI- TIES. TOWN, FORT, JAIL, AND TEMPERATURE. In the year 1840, it seemed that the appoint- ment of lieutenant governor of Her Majesty's settlements upon the Gambia, was at a discount, in consequence probably of the two preceding officers of that grade having died within a twelvemonth of each other, and the vacancy remaining open for a long time, the high distinction of representing the sovereign in that region of the world, was not of so popular a nature as generally it is elsewhere. The officer, whose journal is detailed in the following pages, had about that time returned from the command of a British ship of war, in which he had been cruising upon the coast of Africa for the suppression of the slave trade, and was one most unwholesome day in the winter walking up from a visit to the admiralty, where he had been vainly setting forth his professional services against the political services of other officers, who had been already preferred for promotion. As he proceeded he was met by captain C of the navy, an officer of great merit, under whom he had very satisfactorily served, when detached from...

Download or read book Touts written by Enrique Martino and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touts is a historical account of the troubled formation of a colonial labor market in the Gulf of Guinea and a major contribution to the historiography of indentured labor, which has relatively few reference points in Africa. The setting is West Africa’s largest island, Fernando Po or Bioko in today’s Equatorial Guinea, 100 kilometers off the coast of Nigeria. The Spanish ruled this often-ignored island from the mid-nineteenth century until 1968. A booming plantation economy led to the arrival of several hundred thousand West African, principally Nigerian, contract workers on steamships and canoes. In Touts, Enrique Martino traces the confusing transition from slavery to other labor regimes, paying particular attention to the labor brokers and their financial, logistical, and clandestine techniques for bringing workers to the island. Martino combines multi-sited archival research with the concept of touts as "lumpen-brokers" to offer a detailed study of how commercial labor relations could develop, shift and collapse through the recruiters’ own techniques, such as large wage advances and elaborate deceptions. The result is a pathbreaking reconnection of labor mobility, contract law, informal credit structures and exchange practices in African history.

Download or read book Ouidah written by Robin Law and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-25 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ouidah, an African town in the Republic of Benin, was the principal precolonial commercial center of its region and the second-most-important town of the Dahomey kingdom. It served as a major outlet for the transatlantic slave trade. Between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries, Ouidah was the most important embarkation point for slaves in the region of West Africa known to outsiders as the Slave Coast. This is the first detailed study of the town’s history and of its role in the Atlantic slave trade. Ouidah is a well-documented case study of precolonial urbanism, of the evolution of a merchant community, and in particular of the growth of a group of private traders whose relations with the Dahomian monarchy grew increasingly problematic over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Slave Coast, situated in what is now the West African state of Benin, was the epicentre of the Atlantic Slave Trade. But it was also an inhospitable, surf-ridden coastline, subject to crashing breakers and devoid of permanent human settlement. Nor was it easily accessible from the interior due to a lagoon which ran parallel to the coast. The local inhabitants were not only sheltered against incursions from the sea, but were also locked off from it. Yet, paradoxically, it was this coastline that witnessed a thriving long-term commercial relation-ship between Europeans and Africans, based on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. How did it come about? How was it all organised? And how did the locals react to the opportunities these new trading relations offered them? The Kingdom of Dahomey is usually cited as the Slave Coast's archetypical slave raiding and slave trading polity. An inland realm, it was a latecomer to the slave trade, and simply incorporated a pre-existing system by dint of military prowess, which ultimately was to prove radically counterproductive. Fuglestad's book seeks to explain the Dahomean 'anomaly' and its impact on the Slave Coast's societies and polities.
