Description

West Africa (1977) surveys the first century of European enterprise – rivalry, and exploitation – in West Africa.

It examines the achievements of the Portuguese during the century following their exploration of its shores, and the successive attempts of its rivals – Castilians, the French and English – to disrupt the commercial monopoly claimed by Portugal in West African waters.
