Liberated Africans and the Abolition of the Slave Trade, 1807–1896
Interrogates the development of the world's first international courts of humanitarian justice and the subsequent "liberation" of nearly two hundred thousand Africans in the nineteenth century
Liberated Africans and the Abolition of the Slave Trade, 1807-1896
Freetown and World War II
Though its contribution is little known, Freetown, the capital of the colony of Sierra Leone, was central to Allied strategy for several years, primarily as a convoy station. The British started preparing the city for war in 1938, and the next year set in motion a comprehensive militarization. In 1942 and 1943, the United States joined Britain with military installations, officers, and troops stationed there, and the two powers carried out joint …
West African Spatial Patterns of Economic Activities
Over the last 30 years, two different bodies of literature developed by both U.S. historians and francophone geographers have moved toward similar conclusions regarding West African economic spatial patterns. Despite their different backgrounds, both the " spatial factor " approach promoted by historians and the " mobile space " approach developed by geographers view exchange centers as nodes of transnational trade networks and places in producti…
Actors, Places, Regions, And Global Forces
Over the last three centuries, spatial patterns in sub-Saharan Africa have changed radically. This chapter expands the geographic reach of the author’s analysis to southern Africa and the time frame to the late 20th century, and applies other analytic tools. It seeks to understand how global and regional forces have affected local spatial patterns, how people have shaped space locally and regionally within the constraints of the larger forces, an…

Nineteenth-Century Coastal Slave Trading and the British Abolition Campaign in Sierra Leone
The Sierra Leone Colony was Britain's main base in its campaign to abolish the Atlantic slave trade. Yet, throughout the nineteenth century, slavers supplied external and internal demand by trafficking people along the coast near to and even within the Colony. Although some officials strove to eradicate slaving, others feared that aggressive actions could threaten the Colony's economic and political interests. Administrators debated what constitu…

The Relevance of Spatial Analysis for African Economic History
This article suggests ways in which a spatial perspective is relevant to questions of African economic history prior to formal colonization. Aspects of spatial analysis can help to identify and compare economically dynamic centres and subregions and to understand the qualities of regional and inter-regional systems. Spatial analysis can also illuminate various economic relationships between Africa and Europe; thus it is relevant to such issues as…
