But it was also an inhospitable, surf-ridden coastline, subject to crashing breakers & devoid of permanent human settlement. Nor was it easily accessible from the interior due to a lagoon which ran parallel to the coast. The local inhabitants were not only sheltered against incursions from the sea, but were also locked off from it. Yet, paradoxically, this small coastline witnessed a thriving long-term commercial relationship between Europeans & Africans, based on the trans-Atlantic slave trade. How did it come about? How was it all organized? 000857730 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on January 9, 2019). 000857730 650_0 $$aSlave trade$$zAfrica, West$$xHistory. 000857730 650_0 $$aSlave traders$$zAfrica, West$$xHistory. 000857730 650_0 $$aSlave traders$$zEurope$$xHistory. 000857730 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780190876104 000857730 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000857730 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000857730 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190876104.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000857730 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:857730$$pGLOBAL_SET 000857730 980__ $$aEBOOK 000857730 980__ $$aBIB 000857730 982__ $$aEbook 000857730 983__ $$aOnline
