Makhroufi Ousmane Traoré. Slavery, Resistance, and Identity in Early Modern West Africa
Public slavery in the precolonial Gold Coast (Ghana)
Slavery was a common feature of social organization in many African societies up to the late nineteenth century, including those with a small minority of slaves, and a few outright slave societies (in which slave labour was the primary mode of production).1 Enslaved people were traded within several commercial networks connected to the African continent from ancient to modern times, including those of the ancient and classical Mediterranean, the …
West Africa, 1500–1825
West Africa was affected by European expansion and exploration decades before the European discovery of the Americas. In some ways, then, West Africa was already connected to the New World the moment Europeans discovered it. The relationship between the territory that is now the US and West Africa developed rapidly in the 1600s as West Africa and North America both became hubs of British trade. In its early phases, the connection between West Afr…

Palavers and Treaty Making in the British Acquisition of the Gold Coast Colony (West Africa)
From Atlantic Creoles to African Nationalists
This essay argues that the history of southern Ghana exhibits far more continuity from the era of the slave trade to the time of British colonization in the late-nineteenth century than one can find in the existing historiography. Emphases on the expansion of the Asante kingdom and on the increased activity of European missionaries, capitalists, and bureaucrats have obscured the steady growth of indigenous cultural, political and social instituti…

Castle Slaves of the Eighteenth-Century Gold Coast (Ghana)
This article examines the development of the institution known as ‘castle slavery’ on the Gold Coast (West Africa) in the era of the transatlantic slave trade. It places the lived experiences of castle slaves within a comparative Atlantic World context and argues that castle slavery bore significant resemblances to forms of creole elite slavery in the Americas. It also explores the particularly complex roles of female castle slaves in the daily l…
