Description

Explore a detailed historical account of the struggle for liberty in East Africa with Children of Ham. This book provides a chronological look at the repeated bids for freedom made by slaves and ex-slaves on the Kenya coast between 1873 and 1907. The narrative examines the significant obstacles placed in the way of those seeking independence, including the roles played by the British, the Busaidi Arabs, and local coastal peoples. It traces the shift in regional dynamics following 1873, when British pressure on the sultan of Zanzibar led to the abolition of the ocean-going slave trade. Readers will find a deep look into the political and military conflicts that intensified on the coast during this era. This work is a necessary resource for anyone studying African history, the impact of colonial influence, or the history of human rights and resistance on the Kenya coast.
