The Krio of Sierra Leone
The Krio of Sierra Leone are descendants of black people brought to Africa from Nova Scotia and Jamaica, and Liberated Africans freed from slave ships. They were at first favoured subjects of the British, and soon produced an elite of professionals, clergy and entrepreneurs in the white man's image. In their heyday they dominated the endigenous population. From the turn of the century the establishment of a protectorate in the hinterland, peopled…

The dissolution of Freetown City Council in 1926
Opening ParagraphFreetown City Council, established in 1893, was the victim of a colonial government which concentrated authority in white hands and resented the survival of a municipality run by Africans. Successive governors regularly presented it as a scapegoat, along with the whole Krio community, for disturbances in Freetown, notably the 1919 anti-Syrian riots and the 1926 railway strike. In 1925 financial malpractices in the council were di…
The Sierra Leone Branch of the National Congress of British West Africa, 1918-1946
This paper does not, however, dispute the elitism of the Congress. We must acknowledge the fact that the Congress was not a populist party, in the sense that it never became a mass-organized or mass-oriented movement like Wallace Johnson's West African Youth League (WAYL). But I believe that in studying the mobilization efforts of early political activist groups like the NCBWA, the issues it raised and the problems it addressed are far more impor…
The 1926 Railway Strike and Anglo-Krio Relations
On 14 January 1926 a lightning broke out in the Sierra Leone Government Railway. The strikers were all government servants-daily paid artisans in the locomotive, engineering and traffic branches, including permanent and pensionable officers, station masters and station clerks, and almost the entire telegraph personnel.' The phrase lightning is suspect because there is evidence that the government knew before the event that trouble was brewing and…
On Misunderstandings Arising from the Use of the Term 'Creole' in the Literature on Sierra Leone
Opening ParagraphIn the middle of writing a paper on the 'roots' of the Krio of Sierra Leone my attention was drawn by a colleague to an article in a recent issue of Africa, written by David Skinner and Barbara E. Harrell-Bond, two scholars who have been doing some work on Sierra Leone (Skinner and Harrell-Bond 1977). Aware of my interest in this area my colleagues suggested that I might want to react to the article. My own views on the Krio (Wys…
