This book traces the history and development of the port of
Benguela, the third largest port of slave embarkation on the coast
of Africa, from the early seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth
century. Benguela, located on the central coast of present-day
Angola, was founded by the Portuguese in the early seventeenth
century. In discussing the impact of the transatlantic slave trade
on African societies, Mariana P. Candido explores the formation of
new elites, the collapse of old states and the emergence of new
states. Placing Benguela in an Atlantic perspective, this study
shows how events in the Caribbean and Brazil affected social and
political changes on the African coast. This book emphasizes the
importance of the South Atlantic as a space for the circulation of
people, ideas and crops.
