Slavery in Africa existed for hundreds of years before it was abolished in the late 19th century. Yet, we know little about how enslaved individuals, especially those who never left Africa, talked about their experiences. Collecting never before published or translated narratives of Africans from southeastern Ghana, Sandra E. Greene explores how these writings reveal the thoughts, emotions, and memories of those who experienced slavery and the slave trade. Greene considers how local norms and the circumstances behind the recording of the narratives influenced their content and impact. This unprecedented study affords unique insights into how ordinary West Africans understood and talked about their lives during a time of change and upheaval.

The history of Ghana attracts popular interest out of proportion to its small size and marginal importance to the global economy. Ghana is the land of Kwame Nkrumah and the Pan-Africanist movement of the 1960s; it has been a temporary home to famous African Americans like W. E. B. DuBois and Maya Angelou; and its Asante Kingdom and signature kente cloth-global symbols of African culture and pride-are well known. Ghana also attracts a continuous flow of international tourists because of two historical sites that are among the most notorious monuments of the transatlantic slave trade: Cape Coast and Elmina Castles. These looming structures are a vivid reminder of the horrific trade that gave birth to the black population of the Americas. The Fante and the Transatlantic Slave Trade explores the fascinating history of the transatlantic slave trade on Ghana's coast between 1700 and 1807. Here author Rebecca Shumway brings to life the survival experiences of southern Ghanaians as they became both victims of continuous violence and successful brokers of enslaved human beings. The era of the slave trade gave birth to a new culture in this part of West Africa, just as it was giving birth to new cultures across the Americas. The Fante and the Transatlantic Slave Trade pushes Asante scholarship to the forefront of African diaspora and Atlantic World studies by showing the integral role of Fante middlemen and transatlantic trade in the development of the Asante economy prior to 1807. Rebecca Shumway is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh.

Academic Paper from the year 2015 in the subject Literature - Africa, grade: 1, University of Derby, language: English, abstract: It is the aim of this paper to understand why "The Interesting Narrative" had such an impact on the abolition movement and why it is deemed so important in current scholarly studies. Thus, this text argues that "The Interesting Narrative" was effective in creating public support for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. This work focuses on how Equiano achieved a successful propaganda narrative; chapter one examines the expression and portrayal of his own personal identity and the identity of the Africans which was crucial in altering the European audience's perception and attitudes towards Africans. The first chapter discusses how Equiano used identity within the narrative to change European perceptions of Africans: representation of animalisation and dehumanisation, along with dual identity are all examined. It further discusses how negative stereotypes of Africans were formed through travel literature and how Equiano wrote the narrative in an autobiographical format. Considerations towards different techniques which encouraged the audience to change their perception towards Africans and motivated them to join the abolition movement and support its cause are examined. The second chapter considers the comparisons which Equiano made between the African and European cultures with regards to religion, Christianity, biblical references, and the notion of the noble savagery and evolution. There is also a specific focus on how Equiano presented "The Interesting Narrative" to society with the use of book tours and the presentation of the autobiography as a petition to parliament. The book tours targeted all members of society, even those who were illiterate, and petitions promoted "The Narrative"'s sale and increased awareness of slave mistreatment. The third chapter considers how the public in the eighteenth century reacted to "The Interesting Narrative". Newspaper and article reviews both presented and received "The Interesting Narrative" within eighteenth century. This paper argues that Equiano's "Interesting Narrative" encouraged European audiences to change their preconceived perception of Africans; Equiano enabled his audience to understand that Africans were not barbaric savages, but were similar to Europeans and further had the ability to rapidly evolve and become civilised and intelligent, much like the authors of the slave narratives.

Metaphor and the Slave Trade provides compelling evidence of the hidden but unmistakable traces of the transatlantic slave trade that persist in West African discourse. Through an examination of metaphors that describe the trauma, loss, and suffering associated with the commerce in human lives, this book shows how the horrors of slavery are communicated from generation to generation. Laura T. Murphy’s insightful new readings of canonical West African fiction, autobiography, drama, and poetry explore the relationship between memory and metaphor and emphasize how repressed or otherwise marginalized memories can be transmitted through images, tropes, rumors, and fears. By analyzing the unique codes through which West Africans have represented the slave trade, this work foregrounds African literary contributions to Black Atlantic discourse and draws attention to the archive that metaphor unlocks for scholars of all disciplines and fields of study.

"Emmanuel Saboro's study on memories of the slave era in northern Ghana is a most welcome addition to a long and storied scholarly tradition examining song lyrics associated with the institution of slavery. As one might expect, the vast majority of such studies focus on the music traditions of the enslaved in North America. Collected between the mid-19th and early 20th century, historians, musicologist, and literary scholars have systematically analyzed these songs for what the lyrics can tell us about experiences during the era of slavery and the slave trade. Similar works that focus on West Africa, however, are rare indeed. Like his North American counterparts, Saboro examines the songs of northern Ghana as coded messages that express hope, comfort, resistance, rage and triumph over adversity. Having "no fixed meanings", Saboro describes them as both flexible and greatly useful for conveying a variety of meanings"--
