Prof. Gijanto Published in African Economic Review

Professor of Anthropology published "Changing Commerce and Daily Life on the Gambia River During the Atlantic Trade" as part of an invited special issue of the African Economic Review edited by Drs Ana Araujo and Mariana Candido.  The issue "Africa and Capitalism" argues that economic histories of Africa are inseparable from the material and visual dimensions of the history of the trade in enslaved peoples. The volume features articles by scholars who have addressed the economic history of the Atlantic slave trade, along with the work of historians, archaeologists, and art historians who have focused on the material and visual cultures of the Atlantic slave trade and slavery.
