Slavery and Colonial Rule in Africa

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Miers, Suzong>anong>ne / Klein, Martin A., PUBLISHER: Routledge, Colonial rule started with ong>anong> endless succession of small, but often brutal, wars of conquest, the moral justification for which was that the Europeong>anong> conquerors were bringing 'civilization' to 'darkest Africa'. ong>Anong> intrinsic part of this so-called 'civilizing mission' was the eradication of slave raiding, slave trading ong>anong>d slavery, all of which were widespread on the continent. Some of the studies in this book are on areas where there has been little research, such as the Germong>anong> colonies ong>anong>d the Algeriong>anong> Sahara. Others throw new light on questions already debated, such as emong>anong>cipation on the Gold Coast. Some focus on the impact of abolition on particular groups of slaves. Among the themes considered is the role of slaves in their own emong>anong>cipation, the short ong>anong>d long term results of abolition, the role of the League of Nations, ong>anong>d the vestiges of slavery in Africa today.
