British West Africa: Its Rise And Progress is a historical and geopolitical account of the British colonial presence in West Africa. Written by A. F. Mockler-Ferryman, the book provides a detailed analysis of the region's political, economic, and social development under British rule.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the early explorations of the region, the establishment of British trading posts and colonies, the impact of the slave trade, and the development of infrastructure and industry. Mockler-Ferryman also examines the political and social structures of the various British colonies in the region, including Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast (now Ghana), Nigeria, and Gambia.Throughout the book, Mockler-Ferryman provides a critical perspective on the British colonial enterprise in West Africa. He acknowledges the positive contributions of the British in terms of infrastructure development and the suppression of the slave trade, but he also highlights the negative consequences of colonialism, such as the exploitation of natural resources and the suppression of local cultures and traditions.Overall, British West Africa: Its Rise And Progress is a comprehensive and insightful account of the British colonial experience in West Africa. It provides a valuable historical perspective on the region's development and sheds light on the complex legacy of colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
