Publisher's Synopsis

West Africa (1977) surveys the first century of European enterprise - rivalry, and exploitation - in West Africa. It examines the achievements of the Portuguese during the century following their exploration of its shores, and the successive attempts of its rivals - Castilians, the French and English - to disrupt the commercial monopoly claimed by Portugal in West African waters.
