West Africa during the Atlantic Slave Trade | |||
| Archaeological Perspectives | Social Studies | |||
| Christopher R DeCorse (Edited by) | ||||
| Leicester University Press 2001 194 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 0718502477 | ||||
| Published Price £75.00 | Sale Price £37.00 | |||
| This volume surveys archaeological data from west Africa, examining sites ranging from the Senegambia to the Cameroon. The focus is on the archaeological record of the past 500 years, a time period that witnessed dramatic transformation in Afican political and social systems, as well as the varying consequences of European expansion, the advent of the Atlantic slave trade, and the expansion of Islamic polities in the west African sahel. While historians have examined many aspects of this period, the written record provides only limited insight into the history and development of many areas. | ||||

Inside the Wolf's Belly | |||
| Aspects of the Fairytale | Social Studies | |||
| Joyce Thompson | ||||
| Sheffield Academic 1989 301 pages | ||||
| Hardback 1850751218 | ||||
| Published Price | Our Price £6.99 | |||
| In this 'informed rumination upon the fairy tale's motifs, folklore and literary elements', Joyce Thomas's main concern is with the tales themselves as narrative. She takes as her text the Volksmarchen of the Brothers Grimm, as translated by Margaret Hunt (The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales) and Lucy Crane (Household Stories by the Brothers Grimm), and discusses the human characters and themes, the roles of animals and landscapes in fairy tales, and their language, form and structure. No jacket. | ||||
