The end of slavery is one of the most misunderstood major social changes to take place in colonial Africa.... Miers and Roberts' collection of essays goes a long way to correct false impressions. - Philip D. Curtin, Johns Hopkins University
This landmark book, now back in print, explores the historical experiences of slaves, masters, and colonials as they all confronted the end of slavery in fifteen sub-Saharan African societies. The essays demonstrate that it is impossible to generalize about whether the end of slavery was a relatively mild and nondisruptive process or whether it marked a significant change in the organization of these societies. This wide-ranging inquiry is of lasting value to Africanists and a variety of social and economic historians.
