Planting Rice and Harvesting Slaves: Transformations along the Guinea-Bissau Coast, 1400-1900

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Hawthorne reevaluates long-held notions about the Atlantic slave trade's impact on a number of "stateless"--or decentralized--societies in Africa's Guinea-Bissau region. He shows that decentralized societies were by no means passive victims of the slave trade, as commonly depicted in the literature, but vigorously defended themselves from the incursions of the raiders.

SYNOPSIS

Hawthorne reevaluates long-held notions about the Atlantic slave trade's impact on certain societies in Africa's Guinea-Bissau region.
