Recenzje

A vivid microhistory that brings together the histories of slavery, illegal slave trade ventures, and Islamic communities in West Africa and Brazil...Rufino's narrative also brings into focus the development of both syncretic and orthodox forms of Afro-Brazilian Islam in nineteenth century Brazil...Teacher-scholars in global history will find the book a useful volume for tying together threads from histories of Atlantic slavery, Islam in West Africa, Britainâs suppression of the slave trade, and the illegal slave trade in Brazil. Instructors will find The Story of Rufino appropriate for undergraduate courses and graduate seminars that involve these topics, as well as courses on the Black Atlantic.
