Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of Guinea, from the earliest accounts found in the writings of ancient geographers to the early 19th century. Through the lens of travelers, traders, and explorers, the author paints a vivid picture of the region's diverse cultures, politics, and religious practices. The book explores the complex relationship between Guinea and the Arab world, shedding light on the lasting impact of the transatlantic slave trade. The author challenges widely held assumptions about the slave trade, arguing that it was not simply a European phenomenon but rather a global tragedy with deep roots in African history. By examining the motivations and actions of African rulers and merchants, the book offers a nuanced understanding of their role in the trade and the devastating consequences it had on African societies. Ultimately, the book highlights the resilience and agency of the people of Guinea in the face of adversity. Through their resistance to European encroachment, their preservation of cultural traditions, and their contributions to global history, the people of Guinea have left an enduring legacy that continues to inspire and challenge us today.
