[edit] FROM SLAVE TRADE TO 'LEGITIMATE' COMMERCE

Essays, from an African perspective, on the nineteenth-century commercial transition in West Africa.

This edited collection, written by eleven leading specialists, deals with the nineteenth-century commercial transition in West Africa: the ending of the Atlantic slave trade and the development of alternative forms of 'legitimate' trade, mainly in vegetable products. Approaching the subject from an African, rather than a European or American, perspective, the case studies consider the effects of transition on the African societies involved. They offer significant new insights into the history of pre-colonial Africa and the slave trade, the origins of European imperialism, and into longer-term issues of economic development in Africa.
