A new era in world history began when Atlantic maritime trade among Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas opened up in the fifteenth century, setting the stage for massive economic and cultural change. In Making Money, Colleen Kriger examines the influence of the global trade on the Upper Guinea Coast two hundred years latera place and time whose study, in her hands, imparts profound insights into AngloAfrican commerce and its wider milieu. A stunning variety of people lived in this coastal society, struggling to work together across deep cultural divides and in the process creating a dynamic creole culture. Kriger digs further than any previous historian of Africa into the records of Englands Royal African Company to illuminate global trade patterns, the interconnectedness of Asian, African, and European markets, andmost remarkablythe individual lives that give Making Money its human scale. By inviting readers into the daytoday workings of early modern trade in the Atlantic basin, Kriger masterfully reveals the rich social relations at its core. Ultimately, this accessible book affirms Africas crucial place in world history during a transitional period, the early modern era.
