African Islands
African Islands provides the first geographically and chronologically comprehensive overview of the archaeology of African islands.This book draws archaeologically informed histories of African islands into a single synthesis, focused on multiple issues of common interest, among them human impacts on previously uninhabited ecologies, the role of islands in the growth of long-distance maritime trade networks, and the functioning of plantation economies based on the exploitation of unfree labour. The availability of this much-needed synthesis also opens up a better understanding of the significance of African islands in the continent's past as a whole. After Addressing and repairing the longstanding neglect of Africa in general studies of island colonization, settlement, and connectivity, it makes a distinctively African contribution to studies of island archaeology.
