The Gambia And The Trans-atlantic Slave Trade

Bayani Gaba-gaba

Welcome to the course material on 'The Gambia And The Trans-atlantic Slave Trade'. This topic delves into the historical context of The Gambia in relation to one of the most significant and tragic periods in history - the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

The Gambia, a small West African country with a rich cultural heritage, played a notable role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade due to its strategic geographical location along the River Gambia. The river served as a major transportation route for the slave trade, facilitating the capture and transport of enslaved Africans to the Americas.

One of the key objectives of this course is to understand the profound impact of the Transatlantic Slave Trade on the people and society of The Gambia. Enslaved individuals from various ethnic groups such as the Wollof, Mandinka, Fula, Jola, Krio (Aku), and Serahuli were forcibly taken from their homeland and subjected to inhumane conditions during the trade.

Furthermore, we will explore the economic and social implications of the Transatlantic Slave Trade on The Gambia. The trade not only devastated communities and families but also led to significant disruptions in traditional socio-economic systems. The demand for enslaved labor fueled by European colonial powers had far-reaching consequences on the region.

It is essential to examine the role of The Gambia in the Transatlantic Slave Trade, as well as evaluate the lasting effects of this dark period on modern-day Gambian society. The trade left a lasting legacy of trauma, cultural loss, and economic disparity that continue to impact the country and its people today.

Throughout this course, we will delve into the organization and effects of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in The Gambia, considering factors such as trade dynamics, Christianity's impact, and the development of pottery as a cultural and economic practice. By analyzing these aspects, we aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of the historical significance of The Gambia in the context of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
