This open access book provides a multi-perspective approach to the
caravan trade in the Sahara during the 19th century. Based on
travelogues from European travelers, recently found Arab sources,
historical maps and results from several expeditions, the book
gives an overview of the historical periods of the caravan trade as
well as detailed information about the infrastructure which was
necessary to establish those trade networks. Included are a variety
of unique historical and recent maps as well as remote sensing
images of the important trade routes and the corresponding historic
oases. To give a deeper understanding of how those trading networks
work, aspects such as culturally influenced concepts of spatial
orientation are discussed. The book aims to be a useful reference
for the caravan trade in the Sahara, that can be recommended both
to students and to specialists and researchers in the field of
Geography, History and African Studies.
