Description

Having extended their voyages to all oceans from the 1760s onward, whaling vessels from North America and Europe also operated off the coasts of Africa. During stopovers for provisions, seamen entered into relationships of exchange and communication with African littoral societies. In eight case studies, Felix Schürmann investigates long-forgotten interactions that reveal a significant undercurrent in the history of global entanglements.
