Dictionary of African History - by Nei Lopes

This second volume of the Dictionary of African History, by Nei Lopes and José Rivair Macedo, complements the one launched in 2017, which covers the 7th to 16th centuries. This work seeks to show what the European presence in Africa represented from the perspective of the vanquished since the 16th century.. And what was the process that, after three centuries, culminated in the division of the continent and the establishment of colonialism, with the slave trade as the main factor?. For human trade was the cornerstone of the economic growth from which came the supposed European “supremacism”, which continues to govern human relations in most of the world, bringing the worst consequences to Africans and their descendants.. Furthermore, this book, due to the large number of biographical, toponymic, ethnographic and conceptual entries, supported by an extensive bibliography, can be an important tool in the understanding of new content for students, researchers and others interested in the subject.
