African Societies and the Atlantic Slave Trade
For West Africa, which contributed nearly 60 per cent of all the slaves carried across the Atlantic, it is absolutely clear that the Europeans invariably secured their human cargoes by purchase, by buying slaves from Africans—kings or merchants or both—resident on or near the coast. Much local trade was done by direct exchange, but it was generally possible to relate almost any but the very smallest of transactions to some standard unit of value …
Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Context of West African History
This paper examines three views which have been widely held about slavery and the slave trade in West Africa, and which have tended to mould interpretations of its history, especially for the period from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century. These are: (1) That the institution of slavery was endemic in, and a natural feature of, indigenous West African society, so that when foreigners arrived in West Africa with a demand for slaves, West Afric…
Reflections on the Early History of the Mossi-Dagomba Group of States
The history of the Mossi-Dagomba states lying astride the modern border between Ghana and the Volta Republic has for the most part been looked at from the north, from the viewpoint of Mossi tradition. The seventeenth-century Timbuctu Tarikhs record the sack of Timbuctu by the Mossi in a.d. 1333, a raid against Benka c. 1433–4, and a great raid during 1477–83 which is said to have reached as far as Walata. The Tarikhs afford clear evidence that wi…

Reflections on the Genesis of Anglophone African History After World War II
It is forty-five years ago since Roland Oliver was appointed to a lectureship in the “Tribal History of East Africa” at London University's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). This was certainly the first appointment in African history in a university in the United Kingdom, and very likely the first such in a university anywhere in the world. In 1986 he retired from the Chair of African History, to which the University had advanced him…

A Supplement to A Guide to Original Sources for Precolonial Western Africa

Hawkins' Hoax? A Sequel to “Drake's Fake”
English schoolchildren were once brought up on tales of the exploits of Drake and the two Hawkins, father and son, leaders of the English seafaring adventures who invaded the monopolies of Atlantic trade claimed by the Iberian monarchs, who signed Philip II's beard, and who eventually brought his great Armada to destruction. Strangely enough, some two centuries later the names Drake and Hawkins would seem to reappear in Atlantic history as those …

Slaves and society in Western Africa, c. 1445— c. 1700
Published European first-hand accounts of the coastlands from Senegal to Angola for the period c. 1445- c . 1700 are examined to see what light they throw on the extent to which institutions of servitude in pre-colonial sub-Saharan Africa were autonomous developments or a response to external demands for African slaves. It seems clear that when, in the early years of this period, European traders first approached societies along the western Afric…
Search for Synthesis in African History
A Commentary on Duarte Pacheco Pereira's Account of the Lower Guinea Coastlands in his Esmeraldo De Situ Orbis , and on Some Other Early Accounts
The earliest European accounts of the Lower Guinea coastlands are fewer and less informative than those available for the coastlands of Upper Guinea. This is not surprising. The exploration of the 900 or so miles of the Guinea coast to about as far as Cape Mesurado was a more deliberate process, over some eighteen years, than was that of the nearly 2000 miles of coast between Cape Mesurado and Cameroun, which seems to have been undertaken essenti…

Some Remarks on Beads and Trade in Lower Guinea in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
Two recent articles by Dr Mauny, inconclusive in themselves, since in the second he withdrew his earlier claim that the material of aggrey beads might be the coral-like marine growth Allopara subviolacea , inspired some independent inquiry into the question of aggrey beads. This inquiry followed three lines: (1) a re-examination of the published sources from the beginning of the sixteenth century into the nineteenth century; (2) local inquiries i…

Europe's Economic and Political Relations With Tropical Africa
Currents of European expansion had lapped the shores of Africa since the fifteenth century. But at the end of the eighteenth century the continent and its peoples were still little known. If anything, European knowledge of and interest in Africa had declined since the heyday of Portuguese discovery and expansion in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The coastline was tolerably well known, even if its scientific survey was to be mainly the wor…
