Some historical account of Guinea, its situation, produce, and the general disposition of its inhabitants

Written in the late 18th century, this work by Anthony Benezet explores the geographic, social, and economic aspects of Guinea while serving as an impassioned critique of the slave trade.

Benezet challenges prevailing European narratives of African savagery by highlighting the dignity of African peoples, their complex social structures, and the comfortable lifestyle afforded by Guinea's climate and resources.

The book functions both as a historical account and as an indictment of the inhumane treatment imposed through European colonization and the slave trade.
