Description
Child Slavery and Guardianship in Colonial Senegal offers a comprehensive historical analysis of the exploitation and control systems imposed on children during the colonial period in Senegal. Bernard Moitt meticulously documents how colonial authorities and French administrators implemented guardianship systems that effectively enslaved African children, stripping them of their rights and freedoms.
The book explores the intersection of colonial governance, labor practices, and social structures that enabled child exploitation. Through archival research and historical documentation, Moitt reveals how children were systematically removed from their families, placed under colonial guardianship, and forced into labor. This work contributes significantly to African colonial history and demonstrates the profound human costs of European colonization in West Africa.
Essential reading for historians, scholars of African studies, and those interested in colonial history and human rights issues.
