Sow, Moussa, 'The Daily Life of Slaves in the Last Years of the Bamana States of Kaarta and Segou', in Paul Lane, and Kevin C. MacDonald (eds), Slavery in Africa: Archaeology and Memory, Proceedings of the British Academy (London , 2011; online edn, British Academy Scholarship Online, 31 Jan. 2013), https://doi.org/10.5871/bacad/9780197264782.003.0003, accessed 19 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter attempts to further the understanding of Sahelo‐Sudanic systems of slavery via enquiries into the daily life of slaves. This work is based on the memories of elders in certain villages within the zone of the ancient state of Kaarta and the buffer zone between it and the state of Segou, an area corresponding to the modern Malian administrative Cercles of Kolokani and Banamba. Temporally, the focus is on the period directly before the colonial era. In particular, the mode of acquisition of slaves and the different types of local slavery are considered.
