Publisher's Synopsis

This volume places Sierra Leone within the larger landscape of the greater Atlantic world system. The essays demonstrate that the meaning of Sierra Leone' changed over time as Freetown became a frontier of the African diaspora. Christianity, migration, the abolition of slave trade and experiments in labour mobilisation through means other than slavery were haphazardly introduced in a context of missed opportunities for the nascent British colony.'
