Cloud on the Horizon
This paper argues that the factors that induce transcontinental and intercontinental African migration are complex and cannot be reduced to simplistic generalizations. It states that Africa's transcontinental and transnational migratory phenomena from the medieval period to the post-modern era were a two-way street. While Africans migrated abroad, the continent has also continuously served as a magnet for migrants from other continents. Thus, des…

The elitist Creoles and ascendant Temne in colonial Freetown, the seat of power, configured an…

The article also highlights the cultural foundations of Temne women's activism in colonial Freetown. It argues that the role played by various subj…
Understanding Sierra Leone in Colonial West Africa
