Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In 1623, Richard Jobson's account of his 1620-1621 voyage up the River Gambra provides a detailed exploration of West Africa's interior. Although the expedition aimed to tap into the gold trade with limited success, Jobson's observations on the region's commerce, natural history, and diverse cultures are groundbreaking. His insights into local agriculture, trade, Islam's influence, and women's roles are particularly noteworthy. Despite his limited experience, Jobson's perspectives are accurate, perceptive, and surprisingly sympathetic towards the African peoples he encountered.
