Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EUROPEANS IN WEST AFRICA 1450-1560 By John W. Blake PREFACE The main object of this work is to present, as far as known records permit, a contemporary picture of conditions on the West African coast between Arguim and the equator during the first century of the Portuguese occupation. Some of the better-known contemporary works, written about this subject, have already been translated and edited for the Hakluyt Society. The writers whose works have thus been published, however, were concerned to tell the story of the discovery and settlement of Guinea by Prince Henry the Navigator and his successors only up to the beginning of the reign of King Manuel, and only to describe what had been achieved by the Portuguese'. Moreover, even those who wrote after the event, such as the competent historian Joao de Barros, saw the opening up of West Africa primarily as the prologue to the discovery of the sea-route to India, Accordingly, after outlining the progress of discover)along the West African coast down to the Cape of Good Hope, they then concentrated their attention upon the exploits of Portuguese soldiers and administrators in Indiu and the Hast and devoted little additional time or space to Guinea, It has resulted that contemporary accounts of the changing situation in West Africa, while fairly numerous for the fifteenth century, are difficult to obtain for the half century after 1508, Indeed, no comprehensive description of the coast seems to have been produced between 1507, when Valentim Fernandea compiled his Coltwtim ufiuwsf and the appearance of Captain

Book Synopsis Europeans in West Africa, 1450-1560, Vol. 1 by : John William Blake
Download or read book Europeans in West Africa, 1450-1560, Vol. 1 written by John William Blake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europeans in West Africa, 1450-1560, Vol. 1: Documents to Illustrate the Nature and Scope of Portuguese Enterprise in West Africa, the Abortive Attempt of Castilians to Create an Empire There, and the Early English Voyages to Barbary and Guinea Because no such book was written, or at least because none has survived, it is not to be supposed, however, that the Portu guese either lost interest or gave up their trade and abandoned their forts and factories in Guinea. On the contrary, the reign of King Manuel and the first half of the reign of King John III form a chapter of primary importance in the history of the West African empire of Portugal. The documents printed in this volume are intended to afford some evidence of the general Situation in West Africa during this strangely neglected period. Those in the first section will, it is hoped, enable the reader to gain some idea of the nature and scope of Portuguese enterprise in West Africa. Furthermore, scarcely any contemporary records have yet been translated into English, bearing upon that remarkable series of Castilian voyages to West Africa which were under taken during the years from 1454. To 1480, a period during which the Spaniards were serious competitors with the Portuguese in the race for colonial supremacy. This aspect of the discovery of Guinea has been almost entirely ignored by English students of the beginnings of European expansion overseas, and it is hoped that the documents assembled in Section II Of this volume will help to arouse interest in a subject which provides a new back ground for the Columbine voyages. Section III contains new documents relating to the early English voyages to Barbary and Guinea. The records of English activity in West Africa between 1480 and 1560, preserved by Richard Hakluyt, have not hither to been edited for the Society. Because these records also throw much light upon the nature and scope of Portuguese activities on the Guinea coast, it was thought doubly fitting to include them.

Book Synopsis Cloth in West African History by : Colleen E. Kriger
Download or read book Cloth in West African History written by Colleen E. Kriger and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2006-06-08 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this holistic approach to the study of textiles and their makers, Colleen Kriger charts the role cotton has played in commercial, community, and labor settings in West Africa. By paying close attention to the details of how people made, exchanged, and wore cotton cloth from before industrialization in Europe to the twentieth century, she is able to demonstrate some of the cultural effects of Africa's long involvement in trading contacts with Muslim societies and with Europe. Cloth in West African History thus offers a fresh perspective on the history of the region and on the local, regional, and global processes that shaped it. A variety of readers will find its account and insights into the African past and culture valuable, and will appreciate the connections made between the local concerns of small-scale weavers in African villages, the emergence of an indigenous textile industry, and its integration into international networks.
Book Synopsis Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century by : Bethwell A. Ogot
Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Download or read book Before Middle Passage: Translated Portuguese Manuscripts of Atlantic Slave Trading from West Africa to Iberian Territories, 1513-26 written by Trevor P. Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the 20th of January 1526, the Santiago left Lisbon bound for Africa with a cargo of brass and tin bracelets, round bells, barber basins and cloth; by early October the ship was back in Portugal with a very different cargo, 108 enslaved Africans. With chilling detachment the ship’s trading log records the commodification of human beings, the prices paid for them, the sums received for their sale and the number who did not survive the crossing. Whilst this log may be extremely rare, it is clear from another surviving document, the receipt book of the customs office of the Portuguese Cape Verde Islands, that such voyages were commonplace in the early years of the sixteenth century. The bulk of this volume consists of a translation into English of the receipt book from the customs office of the Cape Verde Islands. In it Portuguese customs agents recorded import duties on over 3,000 slaves transported from nearby West Africa in 36 ships. The customs officers named the slave traders, ships, officers, crew, and outfitters of the ships, as well as the price of each slave and the import duty collected by the Portuguese government and the Catholic Church. A second section of the customs book provides details of export taxes paid on c.600 African slaves by merchants from Portugal, Spain, and the Spanish Canary Islands, when they exchanged European merchandise for slaves. The final chapter of the volume translates the Santiago’s log, providing an example of an actual slave trading expedition. Taken together these documents open a rare window into the workings and scope of the early Atlantic slave trade.
