Person
Antera Duke
Antera Duke was an Efik slave trader of Duke Town in Old Calabar, in present-day south-eastern Nigeria, in the late 18th century. His diary, kept in trade English from 1785 to 1788, records dealings with European ships, the Ekpe society, funerals and daily life in the town. Surviving in extracts, it is one of the few African-written records of the Atlantic slave trade.
