Slavery and Its Legacy in Ghana and the Diaspora

Ghana's journey toward egalitarian systems is still shaped by its long history of slavery. This collection examines the evolution of slavery in Ghana and its lasting effects on the nation and the descendants of those enslaved during the transatlantic slave trade. It investigates how enslaved people were integrated into or excluded from society, the enduring connections between Ghana and the Americas/Europe, the rise of anti-slavery movements, and the ongoing legacy of slavery in Ghanaian and diasporic communities.
