The Life of Trade - Liza (St. Mary’s College of Maryland Gijanto - Bog

- Events and Happenings in the Niumi's Atlantic Center

Bag om The Life of Trade

The Life of Trade utilizes archaeological and historical sources to address the complex nature of the Atlantic trade on the Gambia River. Taking a fresh multi-disciplinary approach, the book highlights the region¿s atypical position as a commercial crossroads and access point for both interior and Atlantic markets. This engagement with a diversified commodities trade brought about the formation of a multi-ethnic, multi-religious community which was supported by, and reliant on, economic exchange. Analysis data from archaeological excavations in the region, Gijanto situates the Niumi Kingdom within the emerging capitalist world-system and so enriches our understanding of this period of great change in West Africa.
