- Description
- [Abstract in the journal:] "This study reconsiders several controversies resulting from the historical debate over 'legitimate' trade–nineteenth-century exports of African commodities other than slaves–in West Africa. The controversies reviewed include the incidence of enslavement in West African warfare; whether slave prices fell as slave exports declined; whether slave trade and 'legitimate' trade were compatible or incompatible; the debate over A. G. Hopkins' thesis of a 'crisis of adaptation' among political leaders; the commercial transition and gender relations; and the relation between the commercial transition and European imperial conquest. Disaggregation, noting the variations in the transition among regions and over time, Law believes, will resolve some of these controversies. Promotion of 'legitimate' trade, linked to the suppression of the slave trade, became a way in which Europeans both opposed slavery and intervened more and more forcefully in Africa throughout the ninteenth century."
