Ransoming, Collateral, and Protective Captivity on the Upper Guinea Coast Before 1650: Colonial Continuities, Contemporary Echoes1
MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY WORKING PAPERS WORKING PAPER NO. 193 PETER MARK RANSOMING, COLLATERAL, AND PROTECTIVE CAPTIVITY ON THE UppER GUINEA COAST BEFORE 1650: COLONIAL CONTINUITIES, Halle / Saale 2018 CONTEMPORARY ISSN 1615-4568 ECHOES Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, PO Box 110351, 06017 Halle / Saale, Phone: +49 (0)345 2927- 0, Fax: +49 (0)345 2927- 402, http://www.eth.mpg.de, e-mail: [email protected] Ransoming, Collateral, and Protective Captivity on the Upper Guinea Coast before 1650: colonial continuities, contemporary echoes1 Peter Mark2 Abstract This paper investigates the origins of pawning in European-African interaction along the Upper Guinea Coast. Pawning in this context refers to the holding of human beings as security for debt or to ensure that treaty obligations be fulfilled. While pawning was an indigenous practice in Upper Guinea, it is proposed here that when the Portuguese arrived in West Africa, they were already familiar with systems of ransoming, especially of members of the nobility. The adoption of pawning and the associated practice of not enslaving members of social elites may be explained by the fact that these customs were already familiar to both the Portuguese and their West African hosts. Vestiges of these social institutions may be found well into the colonial period on the Upper Guinea Coast. 1 The author expresses his gratitude to Jacqueline Knörr and to the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology for the opportunity to carry out the research and writing of this paper. Thanks are also due to the members of the Research Group “Integration and Conflict along the Upper Guinea Coast (West Africa)”, to Marek Mikuš for his comments on an earlier draft, and to Alex Dupuy of Wesleyan University for his insightful comments. -

CHAPTER 10 The Mouvement des Forces Démocratiques de Casamance: The Illusion of Separatism in Senegal? Vincent Foucher INTRODUCTiON On December 26, 1982, the Mouvement des Forces Démocratiques de Casamance (MFDC) voiced for the first time its demand for the indepen- dence of Casamance, the southern region of Senegal. This demand launched the longest, currently running violent conflict in Africa. The MFDC can thus lay claim to having led Africa’s second “secessionist moment”1 of the 1980s, after the first secessionist phase of the 1960s. Over the years, the Casamance conflict has killed several thousand people.
