| Abstract: | The paper examines the role of social conscience in European trade with colonial Africa. It considers the dilemma of a British cocoa manufacturing firm, Cadbury Brothers Ltd., which processed to be philanthropic, anti-imperialist and interested in improved labour conditions, but at the same time purchased large quantities of raw cocoa known to be grown by slave labour of an extremely brutal nature from the Portuguese African colonies of Sao Tome and Principe.
