- Description
- [Abstract in the journal:] "In a joint project of post-graduate study, several universities of northern South America are investigating the 'bridge' from Africa to the Americas. This project will aid the peoples of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru to locate their African heritage as well as overcoming the past ethnic invisibility of the African-descended population. This population, ranging from six percent to twenty percent of regional totals, includes the descendants of Africans distributed as slaves from the great slave port of Cartagena. In Colombia a 1993 law, based on the 1991 constitution, gave recognition to the ethnic status of Afro-Colombians, and identified their territorial and cultural rights. This law and its implementation have encouraged the development of the 'bridge' project. The project is a multidiciplinary approach to recovering the past. It centers on the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cientificas, the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, and the Universidad de los Andes. The program includes cooperation with universities in Africa."

- 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."
