Download or read book Sierra Leone and its Identity Salone written by Bankole Kamara Taylor and published by New Africa Press. This book was released on with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the country and the people of Sierra Leone. It is also about the history of the country and the different ethnic groups which constitute the population and how they live. It is also about the geography and climate of the country, its towns and cities. It is a general introduction to Sierra Leone and includes coverage of some of the most tragic events in the history of the country and its collapse when it was plunged into a civil war, one of the most brutal conflicts in the history of post-colonial Africa. Included in the book are interviews with some American ambassadors to Sierra Leone which shed more light on the country, providing a more comprehensive picture of one of the most fascinating countries on the African continent; also one of the most traumatized because of the horrendous tragedy it went through during the civil war which lasted for more than ten years and spilled across borders especially in terms of human suffering, with waves of refugees seeking shelter in neighbouring countries. It is also a country that almost never became one had the indigenous people won wars against the settlers from Britain and North America as well as the Caribbean who first settled in what came to be known as Freetown, later and still the capital of the country, which formed the nucleus of what came to be known as the British colony and protectorate of Sierra Leone. But that is a story for another book.

This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology reflects the complex processes in the production of historical knowledge and memory about Sierra Leone and its diaspora since the 1960s. The processes, while emblematic of experiences in other parts of Africa, contain their own distinctive features. The fragments of these memories are etched in the psyche, bodies, and practices of Africans in Africa and other global landscapes; and, on the other hand, are embedded in the various discourses and historical narratives about the continent and its peoples. Even though Africans have reframed these discourses and narratives to reclaim and re-center their own worldviews, agency, and experiences since independence they remained, until recently, heavily sedimented with Western colonialist and racialist ideas and frameworks. This anthology engages and interrogates the differing frameworks that have informed the different practices—professional as well as popular–of retelling the Sierra Leonean past. In a sense, therefore, it is concerned with the familiar outline of the story of the making and unmaking of an African “nation” and its constituent race, ethnic, class, and cultural fragments from colonialism to the present. Yet, Sierra Leone, the oldest and quintessential British colony and most Pan-African country in the continent, provides interesting twists to this familiar outline. The contributors to this volume, who consist of different generations of very accomplished and prominent scholars of Sierra Leone in Africa, the United States, and Europe, provide their own distinctive reflections on these twists based on their research interests which cover ethnicity, class, gender, identity formation, nation building, resistance, and social conflict. Their contributions engage various paradoxes and transformative moments in Sierra Leone and West African history. They also reflect the changing modes of historical practice and perspectives over the last fifty years of independence.
Download or read book The Temne of Sierra Leone written by Joseph J. Bangura and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the research and study of the formation of Sierra Leone focuses almost exclusively on the role of the so-called Creoles, or descendants of ex-slaves from Europe, North America, Jamaica, and Africa living in the colony. In this book, Joseph J. Bangura cuts through this typical narrative surrounding the making of the British colony, and instead offers a fresh look at the role of the often overlooked indigenous Temne-speakers. Bangura explores, however, the socio-economic formation, establishment, and evolution of Freetown, from the perspective of different Temne-speaking groups, including market women, religious figures, and community leaders and the complex relationships developed in the process. Examining key issues, such as the politics of belonging, African agency, and the creation of national identities, Bangura offers an account of Sierra Leone that sheds new perspectives on the social history of the colony.

Download or read book Sierra Leone Under Colonial Rule in Government Reports 1893 1961 written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of modern Sierra Leone can be traced back to the attempts of a group of British businessmen and philanthropists, commonly known as the Clapham Sect, to found a settlement of freed slaves on the Sierre Leone peninsula in 1778. British colonial rule in Sierra Leone commenced in 1808, when the tiny Freetown enclave became a Crown Colony under the direct responsibility of the British government which ruled through a Governor. At various periods during the nineteenth century, the Governor of Sierra Leone also served as Governor-in-Chief of Britain's other West African possessions. As late as 1888, the Governor of Sierra Leone was responsible for the administration of the Gambia. However, formal British authority remained confined to the Freetown peninsula until 1896, when the hinterland which comprises the greater part of what is today Sierra Leone was declared a British Protectorate. It was only after the establishment of the Sierra Leone Protectorate that British colonial administration and technical departments began to assume a complexity which warranted separate departmental reports. During the nineteenth century much of this information was published in abbreviated form in the Government Gazette or in the Governor's Annual Report. The Annual Departmental Reports relating to Sierra Leone are complementary to the Blue Books relating to Sierra Leone. For the purposes of organization, the departmental collection has been divided into nine sections: Administration, Finance, Judicial and Police, Natural Resources, Social Services, Transport and Public Works, Communications and Post Office Savings, Commerce, also Staff Lists and Miscellaneous Content. Within each section, departmental series have been organized thematically and in chronological order, prefaced by selected extraordinary reports and sessional papers of particular relevance, and followed by related sub-sections. Description drawn from D.C. Dorward's introduction.
Download or read book H C Bankole Bright and Politics in Colonial Sierra Leone 1919 1958 written by Akintola Wyse and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-11 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This substantial and thoroughly documented book is a political biography of an important figure in Sierra Leone. It is also a comment on two of the major themes of the country's history--the relations between the Colony (Krio Society) and the protectorate (the earlier inhabitants of the territory) and more importantly, the position of the imperial regime vis-à-vis its colonial subjects. The author, a Sierra Leonean and a Krio himself, skillfully examines the country's recent history through the life of Dr. H.C. Bankole-Bright, an important leader of the Krio people. The Krio, descendants of the freed slaves, were the elite of Sierra Leone for more than a century, but ultimately they failed to master mass electoral politics during the period of decolonization leading to independence. Dr. Bankole-Bright's failure is seen as emblematic of the disappointed hopes of the Krio as a political group in Sierra Leone. An underlying theme of the book is the misrepresentation of the Krio people in Sierra Leone historiography.
