NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE SIERRA LEONE KRIO GEBUNDEN

The ex-slave  Krio population of Freetown  Sierra Leone - an amalgam of ethnicities drawn from
several parts of the African continent - is a fascinating study in hybridity  creolization 
European cultural penetration  the retention of African cultural values  and the interface
between New World returnees and autochthonous populations of West Africa. Although its Nigerian
connections are often acknowledged  insufficient attention has been paid to the indigenous
Sierra Leonean roots of this community. This anthology addresses this problem  while
celebrating the complexities of Krio identity and Krio interaction with other ethnic groups and
nationalities in the British colonial experience.
