The Seychelles islands: an archipelago of 115 islands in the Western Indian Ocean, just off the East African coastline. Not everyone will have heard of the Seychelles, but those who have associate it with white sand and luxury holidays. What most people don’t know is that Seychelles has a dark history associated with slavery since the islands were first settled 250 years ago, and for the next few decades the islands would be used as a strategically important base for the storage and transportation of Africans captured on the mainland.

Part Three - Tragedies and triumphs of Seychellois slaves

This is Seychelles and the legacy of Slavery, a podcast series in 8 parts. In this episode, we will be exploring some of the tragedies and triumphs of the few Seychellois slaves that are still known to us. I have gathered a selection of individual slave stories from various historical texts for a more in-depth look at what it was like to live as a slave in these times.
