Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a vivid account of British Sierra Leone during the 19th century, focusing on its troubled history as a territory intended to be a haven for liberated slaves. The author's observations and experiences shed light on the challenges of establishing a thriving colony in the face of a harsh climate and the legacy of slavery. Through the lens of personal encounters, the book explores the complex relationship between Black and White in this unique setting, exposing the brutality, fear, and ignorance that tainted interactions between the two groups. The author analyzes the impact of slavery on both the oppressors and the oppressed, revealing the deep wounds left by this institution and the resilience of those who endured it. Ultimately, this book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human nature and the ways in which prejudice and inequality shape our societies. Its insights on the lingering effects of slavery, the nature of racial prejudice, and the importance of empathy remain highly relevant and significant even today.
