This volume examines the archaeology of precolonial West African
societies in the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Using
historical and archaeological perspectives on landscape, 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. The essays examine how social and political
transformations occurred at the regional level by exploring
regional economic networks, population shifts, cultural values and
ideologies. The book demonstrates the importance of anthropological
insights not only to the broad political history of West Africa,
but also to an understanding of political culture as a form of
meaningful social practice.
