Title: The Political Economy of the Interior Gold Coast Condition: New Format: Hardback Release Date: 09/12/2015 EAN: 9780739187852 Subtitle: The Asante and the Era of Legitimate Trading, 1807–1875 ISBN-10: 0739187856 ISBN: 9780739187852 Publisher: Lexington Books Description: This book analyzes the Gold Coast and the Asante kingdom in the years following the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and prior to the start of colonial rule. The Asante state, one of the largest in the Gold Coast and West Africa after the eighteenth century is the central focus of this work. Studying their transition from a large scale supplier of captives to the transatlantic slave trade to traders in legitimate goods is a critical component that should be analyzed across West Africa. This work highlights the political and economic relationships between the interior Asante state with surrounding African groups and Europeans, chiefly British traders who entered the region in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
