About the book

Examines aspects of the history, society and Atlantic Diaspora connection of the Igbo people of the Bight of Biafra hinterland. The large presence of the Igbos in the Americas and the role of enslaved Africans of Igbo origin were important in shaping the larger history of slavery, patterns of enslavement and new identity formations in the Americas. In this regard, the intellectual contribution of this most famous Igbo son, Olaudah Equiano, is of great importance to discourses on the history of slavery in the Americas.
