1854年，塞内加尔银行利用支付给前奴隶主的部分赔偿金成立。银行发行纸币，提供现代金融服务。Masaki分析了银行的管理，并质疑了广泛接受的论点，即来自波尔多的商人控制了银行，使非洲商人边缘化，得出的结论是，银行在很大程度上为这个殖民地提供了公平的服务。此外，Masaki指出，该银行是梅蒂斯人精英政治斗争的场所，并暗示当时塞内加尔社会的复杂性使得难以评估该银行业务的全部范围。
In 1854, the Bank of Senegal was established using part of the compensation paid to former slave owners. The bank issued banknotes and provided modern financial services. Masaki analyzes the bank’s management and interrogates the widely accepted argument that merchants from Bordeaux controlled the bank to marginalize African merchants, concluding that the bank largely provided equitable service to this colony. Additionally, Masaki shows that the bank was a site of political struggles for the métis elites and suggests that the complexities of Senegalese society at the time made it difficult to assess the full scope of the bank’s operations.
