Reviews
'â€¦ the book fills a significant gap. It will presumably reach a wide audience â€¦ and should encourage interested readers to proceed from here to the sources themselves. â€¦ it should also motivate scholars to complete for publication the translations of lvares, lvares de Almada, Lemos Coelho â€¦' The Journal of African History, "Given the great importance of the Portugese as sources for the early history of West Africa, it has been a shame that it is impossible to provide students with good translations of the best primary sources. Malyn Newett has now attempted to do this, in a well produced and translated selection of original sources on the Portuguese sources in West and West Central Africa....On the whole, this book is a useful teaching tool and likely to be useful for a long time to come." - John K. Thornton, Boston University, International Journal of African Historical Studies, 'â€¦ the book fills a significant gap. It will presumably reach a wide audience â€¦ and should encourage interested readers to proceed from here to the sources themselves. â€¦ it should also motivate scholars to complete for publication the translations of Ã�lvares, Ã�lvares de Almada, Lemos Coelho â€¦' The Journal of African History, Newitt's Portuguese in West Africa is clearly the best of the recent collections of documents in English about the Portuguese presence in the early modern world. Instructors seeking to include materials about Europe's encounter with Africa before the eighteenth century will find coherent sets of readings here, as well as just enough context to frame effective discussions. And specialists in the history of Anglophone or Francophone Africa should also benefit from the readings on the Portuguese presence in Northwest and West Africa, along with useful bibliographic references." - H-Net
