Exploring the multifaceted history of dispossession, consumption,
and inequality in West Central Africa, Mariana P. Candido presents
a bold revisionist history of Angola from the sixteenth century
until the Berlin Conference of 1884-5. Synthesising disparate
strands of scholarship, including the histories of slavery, land
tenure, and gender in West Central Africa, Candido makes a
significant contribution to ongoing historical debates. She
demonstrates how ideas about dominion and land rights eventually
came to inform the appropriation and enslavement of free people and
their labour. By centring the experiences of West Central Africans,
and especially African women, this book challenges dominant
historical narratives, and shows that securing property was a
gendered process. Drawing attention to how archives obscure African
forms of knowledge and normalize conquest, Candido interrogates
simplistic interpretations of ownership and pushes for the
decolonization of African history.
