註釋This volume presents a study, both historical and sociological, of the Creole society of the capital of Sierra Leone. The reader is shown the effects of the early settlers on the later arrivals, and their subsequent amalgamation into the Creoles, who were to dominate Freetown from the 1850's to World War II. The author shows how, through this period, a social hierarchy based on birth--that is, on the distinction between settler and liberated African--vanished largely through the economic successes of the latter, while a new division emerged between this new Creole elite and what he calls the "tribal Africans." He then looks at the challenge which these "tribal Africans" have presented to the Creoles, draws parallels between the two cases, and projects, tentatively, something like a final Sierra Leonian amalgamation based on new premises.
