Publisher's Synopsis

This text reviews documents to evaluate Britain's claim that it had a prominent role in the extinction of slavery and the slave trade in East Africa. It demonstrates that the ""moral imperative"" for an abolitionist policy was often subordinated in favour of material wealth and imperial strength.
