African Kings and Black Slaves

Sovereignty and Dispossession in the Early Modern Atlantic

Beschreibung

Through an examination of early modern African-European encounters, African Kings and Black Slaves offers a reappraisal of the dominant depiction of these exchanges as simple economic transactions: rather, according to Herman L. Bennett, they involved clashing understandings of diplomacy, sovereignty, and politics.
