This book analyzes the Gold Coast and the Asante kingdom in the
years following the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and
prior to the start of colonial rule. The Asante state, one of the
largest in the Gold Coast and West Africa after the eighteenth
century is the central focus of this work. Studying their
transition from a large scale supplier of captives to the
transatlantic slave trade to traders in legitimate goods is a
critical component that should be analyzed across West Africa. This
work highlights the political and economic relationships between
the interior Asante state with surrounding African groups and
Europeans, chiefly British traders who entered the region in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
