The Rise Of British West Africa: Comprising The Early History Of The Colony Of Sierra Leone, The Gambia, Lagos, Gold Coast, Etc. (1904) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104326227)

The Rise of British West Africa is a historical account of the early colonization and development of several West African territories, including Sierra Leone, The Gambia, Lagos, and Gold Coast, among others. Written by Claude George and originally published in 1904, this book provides a detailed overview of the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the rise of British influence in the region. Through a combination of primary source materials and personal observations, George traces the evolution of each colony from its earliest days under British control to its eventual emergence as a major player in the global economy. Along the way, he examines the impact of slavery, colonialism, and other historical forces on the people and cultures of West Africa, providing a nuanced and insightful perspective on a complex and often misunderstood region. Whether you are a student of African history or simply interested in learning more about this fascinating part of the world, The Rise of British West Africa is an indispensable resource.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
