Publisher's Synopsis

A collection of 20 essays that explore the institution of debt bondage in Africa in which individuals were held as collateral, usually by members of the same family, in lieu of debts that had been incurred. Also explores how the pressure of the international slave trade, especially along the West African coast, further shaped the institution of pawnship and allowed the extension of credit into the interior of West Africa.
