内容説明・目次
内容説明
This fifth volume of the series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the 16th century to the close of the 18th century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period; second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade - with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomons conquer Egypt, South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.
