About this episode

This is Seychelles and the legacy of Slavery, a podcast series in 8 parts. In this episode, we will be talking about the effect the emancipation movement and subsequent abolition of the slave trade had on the Seychelles and the wider Indian Ocean, and why freedom was more of a theoretical concept than a reality long after slavery was abolished.
