- W2330808980 abstract "One of the hardest challenges in teaching the history of Atlantic slavery is to convey that there was not just one ‘Atlantic slave trade’, but rather many different slave trades which wrought many different effects in different parts of Africa and the Americas. To take, for example, the impact of the trade on African political histories: these are enormously varied according to distinct African political organisations—whether pre-existing states were centralised, as in the case of Benin and the Jolof of Senegal, or rather decentralised, as in the case of present-day Guinea-Bissau and the Niger delta; and whether there was any substantive early colonial influence, as with the Portuguese in Angola, or rather a situation of African political control, as in the rest of the continent up until the nineteenth century. For this reason, any work which offers a new understanding of African political history in the era of the transatlantic slave trade deserves serious consideration. The book under review is such a work. Focusing on the Gold Coast (roughly, present-day Ghana) in the eighteenth century, Rebecca Shumway overturns much previous historiography that stressed the centrality of the Asante kingdom; instead, she argues that what she calls a decentralised ‘coastal coalition’ of interdependent Fante polities arose which controlled the ports of the Gold Coast, and played a substantial role both in shaping African–European relations and in developing Fante identities that have subsequently endured." @default.
