The book investigates the persistence of slavery in the Portuguese territories of West Africa, particularly Angola and the islands of San Thomé and Principe. Nevinson’s exploration offers an in-depth view of both plantation and domestic slavery as they are practiced in the region, revealing a troubling portrait of exploitation and human rights abuses. The opening of the text introduces the author’s journey to Angola, undertaken with support and advice from anti-slavery organizations. Nevinson describes the grim landscapes of “the Coast” and the small population of white settlers encircled by a vast, often harsh black population. He reflects on the stark realities of white settlements marked by death and disease, illustrating the challenging climate and the dire circumstances surrounding labor and slavery. Moreover, he sets the stage for a deeper examination of the mechanisms of modern slavery, painting a picture that juxtaposes legal frameworks with the human suffering intertwined within them. Throughout his introductory remarks, Nevinson hints at the complex interplay between colonial interests and the lives of enslaved individuals, hinting that the pursuit of profit continues to overshadow human dignity.
