The 1619 Project Forum
Why has the American Historical Review commissioned nineteen scholars to review the 1619 Project? There is no precedent in the history of the journal for a review forum of this scope and magnitude. Without question, the 1619 Project has become a very public flash point within academic and public debates centered on the work history does in the world. Its creator, Nikole Hannah-Jones, won a Pulitzer Prize for her lead essay that opened the project…
Everyday Life in a Post-Slavery Society
In Mauritania, where slavery remained legal until 1981, women descended from slaves are taking charge of their lives and redefining their identities
Sandra Rowoldt Shell. Children of Hope
Sandra Rowoldt Shell’s Children of Hope: The Odyssey of the Oromo Slaves from Ethiopia to South Africa is based on an analysis of an unusually large collection of nineteenth-century interviews with (and other documents about) sixty-four children from what is now Ethiopia. All were enslaved and recovered at sea by British antislavery ships and transferred to the custody of the Free Church of Scotland. Once the children’s health was stabilized at t…
Christianity, Wealth, and Spiritual Power in Ghana
Karen Lauterbach, Christianity, Wealth, and Spiritual Power in Ghana. London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2017. 221 + xvii pages. Karen Lauterbach has made an important contribution to the literature on religious developments in West Africa by focusing specifically on high school leavers (largely men), who
Slave Owners of West Africa
Spirit possession, ritual self-cutting and debt bondage
German missionaries working in West Africa during the nineteenth century produced numerous accounts about the lives of formerly enslaved Africans who had converted to Christianity. Most are third-person accounts in which the missionaries organize the content to support their evangelical work. This article examines a rare life history, a first-person account recorded in 1863, in which a man from what is now southeastern Ghana, Tenu Kwami, discusse…

African Voices on Slavery and the Slave Trade
What were the experiences of those in Africa who suffered from the practice of slavery, those who found themselves captured and sold from person to person, those who died on the trails, those who were forced to live in fear? And what of those Africans who profited from the slave trade and slavery? What were their perspectives? How do we access any of these experiences and views? This volume explores diverse sources such as oral testimonies, posse…
Minority Voices
The impetus for the legal abolition of the slave trade and slavery within Africa came largely from outside the continent. This article will review briefly this literature, but focuses more broadly on abolitionist thought within Africa itself. What did Africans think about the slave trade and slavery? How did they respond to the human suffering they witnessed? What motivated those Africans who were prepared to take public stances against the slave…

Experiencing Fear and Despair
Alimaamy Dalu Mohammedu Dumbuya (Dalu Modu) was a Muslim headman and trader expelled from Freetown in November or December 1806. Three years later, he was interrogated by British officials at Freetown about the circumstances of his expulsion. The interview shows his understanding of servitude within the settlement and provides information about slave trading and selling within a colony formed originally as the province of freedom. For Dala Modu, …
African Voices on Slavery and the Slave Trade
Though the history of slavery is a central topic for African, Atlantic world and world history, most of the sources presenting research in this area are European in origin. To cast light on African perspectives, and on the point of view of enslaved men and women, this group of top Africanist scholars has examined both conventional historical sources (such as European travel accounts, colonial documents, court cases, and missionary records) and le…
West African Narratives of Slavery
Greene (Cornell) presents and analyzes five previously unpublished or untranslated narratives of slavery to make a substantial contribution to historical scholarship on slavery in West Africa. These narratives take a variety of forms-a life history, two biographical accounts, a diary, and an oral history-and describe the experiences of individuals and communities with the institution of slavery. What makes this book tremendously valuable, particu…

Whispers and Silences
Western-trained historians have long employed a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches when analyzing African oral narratives. In almost all cases, they have emphasized recording and analyzing texts produced for official or public consumption. But what of things not said, the stories, the statements made only in whispers behind closed doors, away from the eyes and ears of officials and family? What are we to make of statements that,…

The Quills of the Porcupine
Bearing the traditional symbol of the Asante nation, the porcupine, the National Liberation Movement (NLM) stormed onto the Gold Coast's political stage in 1954. The movement mounted one of the first and most significant campaigns to decentralise political power in an Africa undergoing the process of decolonisation. This is a case study in the social history of African politics. Situated within the context of so much theoretical and historical li…

I Will Not Eat Stone
Land, lineage and clan in early Anlo
Opening ParagraphAccording to G. K. Nukunya, the contemporary social organization of the Aŋlɔ Eve-a people located in the southeastern corner of the Republic of Ghana-is 'based on a [segmentary] lineage system ... generalized at a higher level in clanship.' (Nukunya 1969:20). The clan orhlɔis the largest social unit in the Aŋlɔ social system and is defined as a group of males and females who observe the same totems and taboos, worship the gods of…

Religion, History and the Supreme Gods of Africa
The status of the Supreme Being in precolonial traditional African religious thought has been the subject of innumerable studies within the fields of anthropology and religious studies. Of particular concern in this paper is the debate that has raged between the so-called 'Devout' scholars and the 'De-Hellenists. The former emphasize the notion that there existed among all African peoples before contact with Islam and Christianity a Supreme Being…
The Past and Present of an Anlo-Ewe Oral Tradition
In 1680 Jean Barbot made the following observation about the religious institutions found in the Slave Coast Ewe communities of Keta and Anlo: “Their...religion [is] much the same as on the Gold Coast, only they have a vast quantity of idols...” A similar observation was made by Danish cartographer P. Thøning on his 1802 map of the lower Volta, when he described a site near the Anlo capitol of Anloga, as an “Amegase fetisch-plads,” an important r…

L'eglise pentecotiste introduite en 1948 dans la ville d'Angola (Ghana) a ete saccagee en 1987 par des habitants qui accusaient ce mouvement religieux de ne pas respecter la religion traditionnelle. Les conflits religieux localises se succedent depuis deux siecles et revelent une dimension politique affirmee ; les chefs politiques et religieux Anlo utilisent ces moments de crise pour reaffirmer leur prestige et influencer les opinions locales.

Family Concerns
For at least the past twenty years, historians of pre-colonial Africa have studied gender and ethnic relations, but have focused on either gender or ethnicity without making reference to the other. This essay redresses this neglect by demonstrating that changes in gender and ethnic relations within pre-colonial Africa so profoundly influenced each other that it is impossible to understand one without also taking into consideration the other. Docu…
Social change in eighteenth-century Anlo
Opening ParagraphTechnological change among the Anlo-Ewe of southeastern Ghana is a subject that has received little attention from scholars, but it is a theme which figures prominently in Anlo oral tradition. Of the technologies mentioned, those associated with lacustrine fishing and salt making are discussed in the greatest detail. Traditional accounts of the fishing industry, for example, agree that when the Ewe-speaking Anlo first settled in …

A Perspective from African Women's History
A Perspective from African Women's History: Comment on "Confronting Continuity" Sandra E. Greene In European History, whether we have looked at ancient, medieval , early modern, or modern women, we have tended to see that era within a framework of transformation in women's status.... We pay lip service to continuity and then side heavily with change... continuity seems to be more than boring; it also calls into question the way we practice histor…

In the mix
Studies on the role of women in the historical development of African ethnic identities tend to emphasise two separate but related approaches. The first, argued by John Lonsdale (1977, 1989) states that women in patrilineal societies were 'outsiders in the patriclan' and that because of their social location they were the ones who provided the framework which gave their children the ability to move from viewing themselves as members of a localise…
