This book contains some of the richest written material in
existence for precolonial West Africa with unique insights into
daily life in an Afro-Atlantic coastal trade settlement. Presenting
the complete translated and annotated text of the Inquisition trial
of Crispina Peres, an African woman born in the Guinea-Bissau
region, of a Portuguese father and an African mother, it documents
the Portuguese Inquisition's religious persecution of Africans on
African soil. Set in a slave port in 17th century West Africa, the
trial focuses on the worldview of an African woman accused of
engaging in African rites and witchcraft, who is imprisoned and
brought before Inquisitioners in Lisbon. It highlights her
resourcefulness, resilience and spirited defence of her innocence,
providing precious details on her life, household, work, health and
social and commercial networks in this understudied African region.
