African Voices on Slavery and the Slave Trade
Explores how to use different types of sources to write the history of slavery and the slave trade in Africa.
African Voices on Slavery and the Slave Trade: Volume 1, The Sources
Though the history of slavery is a central topic for African, Atlantic world and world history, most of the sources presenting research in this area are European in origin. To cast light on African perspectives, and on the point of view of enslaved men and women, this group of top Africanist scholars has examined both conventional historical sources (such as European travel accounts, colonial documents, court cases, and missionary records) and less-explored sources of information (such as folklore, oral traditions, songs and proverbs, life histories collected by missionaries and colonial officials, correspondence in Arabic, and consular and admiralty interviews with runaway slaves). Each source has a short introduction highlighting its significance and orienting the reader. This first of two volumes provides students and scholars with a trove of African sources for studying African slavery and the slave trade.
Akan Worlds
Cet ouvrage collectif constitue les actes d'un colloque international à l'Université d'Urbino, en Italie. Un certain nombre de chercheurs, anthropologues et historiens, venant d'Afrique, d'Europe et des Etats-Unis se sont rencontrés pendant trois jours autour du thème de l'identité et du pouvoir chez les populations Ahan du Ghana et de la Côte-d'Ivoire. De l'ensemble de ces contributions se dégage une vision plurielle et complexe des " mondes Ahan ". Loin de s'enfermer dans une prétendue homogénéité ethnique, l'univers Ahan s'ouvre à de nombreuses influences ouest-africaines et européennes qui en font un ensemble très mouvant et aux contours flous, mais également identifiable en tant que tel, ne fut-ce que par cette véritable passion du pouvoir qui le caractérise.
