African Kings and Black Slaves

Through an examination of early modern African-European encounters, African Kings and Black Slaves offers a reappraisal of the dominant depiction of these exchanges as simple economic transactions: rather, according to Herman L. Bennett, they involved clashing understandings of diplomacy, sovereignty, and politics.

Printr-o examinare a primelor intalniri moderne afro-europene, regii africani si sclavii negri ofera o reevaluare a descrierii dominante a acestor schimburi ca tranzactii economice simple: mai degraba, potrivit lui Herman L. Bennett, acestea implicau confruntarea cu intelegerile despre diplomatie, suveranitate si politica.
