Uncover the vital lived experience of abolition in 19th-century West Africa. Richard Peter Anderson’s crucial study examines how thousands resettled in Sierra Leone, after rescue from slave ships, rebuilt lives and identities amidst British colonization. This work shifts focus from legal victories to the realities of emancipation, exploring community formation and the evolution of African diaspora history. Essential for students of African history, sociology, and colonial studies in India, this book illuminates the complex legacy of forced migration and the creation of new societies.
