Slavery and the birth of an African city : Lagos, 1760-1900
2007
Overview
As the slave trade entered its last, illegal phase in the 19th century,
the town of Lagos on West Africa's Bight of Benin became one of the most important
port cities north of the equator. Slavery and the Birth of an African City explores
the reasons for Lagos's sudden rise to power. By linking the histories of
international slave markets to those of the regional suppliers and slave traders,
Kristin Mann shows how the African slave trade forever altered the destiny of the
tiny kingdom of Lagos. This magisterial work uncovers the relationship between
African slavery and the growth of one of Africa's most vibrant cities.
