This edited volume provides a unique collection of sources written in Portuguese, Latin, Italian, French, and Spanish for Africa’s Gold Coast, from the late 15th to 17th century. Students, scholars, and professionals with an avid interest in early modern African, Atlantic, and world history will benefit from the English translations, many appearing for the first time. These sources add to the handful of existing translations, but especially illuminate the late 15th to 17th century relations between the Portuguese empire and the Gold Coast and offer comparative materials for other European interlocutors—Spanish, French, English, and Dutch—garrisoned on the coast or offshore in their vessels. Over that concentrated period, and especially where no other European-supplied records exist, these uncomprehending Portuguese outsiders archived important local ideas, personalities, polities, and cultural forms animating Gold Coast-Portuguese relations.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 30mmItem Weight: 816gContributor: Kwasi Konadu (Edited by)Author: Kwasi KonaduGenre: HistoryBook Series: Fontes Historiae AfricanaeRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
