Power and Landscape in Atlantic West Africa: Archaeological Perspectives
J Cameron Monroe
This volume examines the archaeology of precolonial West African societies in the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Using both historical and archaeological tools, this collection of essays sheds light on how involvement in the commercial revolutions of the early modern period dramatically reshaped the regional contours of political organization across West Africa.
