Download or read book The Two Princes of Calabar written by Randy J. Sparks and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1767, two “princes” of a ruling family in the port of Old Calabar, on the slave coast of Africa, were ambushed and captured by English slavers. The princes, Little Ephraim Robin John and Ancona Robin Robin John, were themselves slave traders who were betrayed by African competitors—and so began their own extraordinary odyssey of enslavement. Their story, written in their own hand, survives as a rare firsthand account of the Atlantic slave experience. Randy J. Sparks made the remarkable discovery of the princes’ correspondence and has managed to reconstruct their adventures from it. They were transported from the coast of Africa to Dominica, where they were sold to a French physician. By employing their considerable language and interpersonal skills, they cleverly negotiated several escapes that took them from the Caribbean to Virginia, and to England, but always ended in their being enslaved again. Finally, in England, they sued for, and remarkably won, their freedom. Eventually, they found their way back to Old Calabar and, evidence suggests, resumed their business of slave trading. The Two Princes of Calabar offers a rare glimpse into the eighteenth-century Atlantic World and slave trade from an African perspective. It brings us into the trading communities along the coast of Africa and follows the regular movement of goods, people, and ideas across and around the Atlantic. It is an extraordinary tale of slaves’ relentless quest for freedom and their important role in the creation of the modern Atlantic World.

Download or read book His Return written by Nwanganga Shields and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-03-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clint, a first-generation American, feels a calling to postpone law school to travel to Nigeria where his parents were born. His parents, who had distanced themselves from Nigeria, had striven to make him American. Against their wishes, he went to live with his grandparents at Arochukwu, a small town situated on one of the tributaries of the Cross River, and to participate in its traditions. There, through stories, he started experiencing the life of his great-grandfather Achi, who had been brought to the area as a slave in the late eighteenth century. Achi had lived at a time when the Aros influence among other ethnic groups was waning, following a 19011902 British invasion to destroy the deity from which the Aros derived their power and to open the area to Christian missionaries. This is a story of a young African Americans struggle to reclaim his identity.
Download or read book Twenty nine Years in the West Indies and Central Africa written by The Rev Hope Masterton Wadell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1970. This vivid account of the missionary work of the Rev. Hope Masterton Waddell in the West Indies and Central Africa was first published in 1863. During his sixteen years in Jamaica he witnessed the slave revolt and the aftermath of the abolition of slavery. The mission helped former slaves adapt to freedom in new communities. In 1846 he left Jamaica for Calabar in West Africa (now part of Nigeria), and his narrative is one of the best European accounts of pre-colonial Africa. The mission was concerned with ending local practices such as polygamy, human sacrifice and witchcraft, and Waddell formed a close relationship with King Eyo. The book gives considerable detail about the history and culture of the area, as well as on the work of the mission. His work in Calabar is still commemorated there in the Hope Waddell Training Institute, Duke Town.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adamma is happy now, or thinks she is as happy as she can ever be...until one night, when she dreams of a very beautiful woman, Mmirimma, her long-lost mother lost to history over twenty years ago. Adamma's strange dream centers around the events that led to the death of her father and the disappearance of her mother. Against all rationality, against all evidence to the contrary, Adamma rekindles the flames of hope, that her mother Mmirimma who had been missing for over twenty years, is still alive. From the glitzy playgrounds of Lagos, Adamma heads East, seeking answers to questions that had plagued her entire adult life...and there, back East, she hits a brick wall. She is warned to stop looking for Mmirimma, that a dark and terrifying destiny awaits her if she doesn't let her mother go. Against all odds, Adamma embarks on a journey back into her past, to find the threads of her long-lost family. But, along the way, she descends into shocking chaos, as if Fate itself is working against her. Death dogs her footsteps, trusted friends become enemies, her family seems to be falling apart, yet she ploughs on in her search for her mother. With each step she makes closer to the truth about her mother's disappearance, her family seems to fall apart the more, and she faces a trial that will send her to her death if she loses, and destroy her family if she wins.
