Talk Description
The talk will focus on the small islands on the east coast of Africa – particularly those where human settlements began after European colonizers brought enslaved labor from Africa and Asia during the course of the seventeenth century. How can the history of these small islands be written together with that of continental Africa and what can such an approach contribute to African History/Studies?
