Panyarring was the practice of seizing and holding persons until the repayment of debt or resolution of a dispute which became a common activity along the Atlantic coast of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. The practice developed from pawnship, a common practice in West Africa where members of a family borrowing money would be pledged as collateral to the family providing credit until the repayment of the debt. Panyarring though is different from this practice as it involves the forced seizure of persons when a debt was not repaid.

- Le panyarring était la pratique consistant à saisir et détenir des personnes jusqu'au remboursement d'une dette ou la résolution d'un litige. C'était une pratique courante le long de la côte atlantique de l'Afrique aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. Elle s'est développée à partir du pawnship (« mise en gage »), une pratique courante en Afrique de l'Ouest, où une famille garantissait son crédit par la mise en gage de biens ou de personnes de leur famille. En cas de non-remboursement, la personne mise en gage devenait la propriété du créditeur et pouvait être vendue comme esclave. Le panyarring diffère cependant de la mise en gage car il ne résulte pas d'un accord mutuel mais d'une saisie forcée. (fr)

| - Panyarring is a Term used for Man-Stealing along the whole Coast. Here it is used also for stealing anything else; and, by Custom, every man has a Right to seize of another, at any Conveniency, so much as he can prove himself afterwards at that Palaver court to have been defrauded of, by any body in the same place he was Cheated... If any of our Ships of Liverpool or Bristol play tricks...the Friends and Relations never Fail, with the First opportunity to revenge it. They... panyarr the Boats' Crew who trust themselves foolishly on Shore; and now and then, by dissembling a friendship, have come on Board, Surprised and Murdered a Whole Ship's Company (en)

| - Panyarring was the practice of seizing and holding persons until the repayment of debt or resolution of a dispute which became a common activity along the Atlantic coast of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. The practice developed from pawnship, a common practice in West Africa where members of a family borrowing money would be pledged as collateral to the family providing credit until the repayment of the debt. Panyarring though is different from this practice as it involves the forced seizure of persons when a debt was not repaid. When the Atlantic slave trade came to be a prominent economic force along the Atlantic coast, panyarring became a means for securing additional persons to trade, disrupting the trade of rivals, in some instances of protecting members of a person's family from being taken in the slave trade, and a political and economic tool used by European forces. The practice was banned by a number of African kingdoms, notably by the Ashanti Empire in 1838. The British took a strong stance against panyarring when they established their administration on the coast and banned the practice in 1903. The prominence of the activity decreased and it has not been widely used in West Africa since that time.Pawnship was a form of slavery. (en)

Le panyarring diffère cependant de la mise en gage car il ne résulte pas d'un accord mutuel mais d'une saisie forcée. Lorsque la traite atlantique devint une composante majeure de l'économie le long de la côte atlantique (essentiellement du milieu du XVIIIe siècle au milieu du XIXe siècle), le panyarring devint un moyen de fournir un nombre plus important d'esclaves, de perturber le commerce des rivaux, ainsi qu'un outil politique et économique utilisé par les Européens comme les Africains. La pratique a été interdite par un certain nombre de royaumes africains, notamment par l'Empire Ashanti en 1838. Les Britanniques s'opposèrent fermement à cette pratique lorsqu'ils établirent leur colonies et interdirent la pratique en 1883. Elle tomba en désuétude et n'existe plus en Afrique de l'Ouest. (fr)
