From the author: In the late 1700s, one of Britain's colonial outposts in The Gambia was considered for use as a major penal colony. This idea was scrapped in favour of its use, in the early 1800s, as a resettlement site for slaves intercepted in the Atlantic and repatriated to Africa's shore. This paper examines the experience of the experimental resettlement programme and draws parallels with problems of refugee resettlement in contemporary Africa.
