Title: From slave trade to empire
Description: "Much has been written about the origins of the great push which led Europe to colonise sub-Saharan Africa at the end of the nineteenth century. This book provides a new perspective on this controversial subject by focusing on Europe and a range of empire-building states, Germany, France, Italy and Portugal. The chapters in this volume consider economic themes in addition to the political and cultural aspects of the transition from commerce to colonies."--Jacket.
