'Western Africa and Cabo Verde, 1790s-1830s; Symbiosis of Slave and Legitimate Trades' addresses the collaboration of slave traders and shipmasters engaged in legitimate commerce. This monograph is the third volume of a trilogy treating the history of western Africa from the 11th to the 19th centuries. It follows 'Landlords and Strangers; Ecology, Society, and Trade in Western Africa, 1000-1630' (Westview Press 1993) and 'Eurafricans in Western Africa; Commerce, Social Status, Gender, and Religious Observance from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century' (Ohio University Press, 2003). All three monographs describe commercial, social, and cultural links between the Cape Verde archipelago, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, and Sierra Leone.
