About This Book

De tekst schetst de geschiedenis en het dagelijks leven van een Oost-Afrikaans handelscentrum dat vanouds als tussenstation fungeerde voor goud, ivoor en wierook en door opeenvolgende zeelieden en expedities werd gevormd. Er is aandacht voor oorlogen, de betrokkenheid bij de slavenhandel en het geleidelijke verlies van sultanaal gezag onder Europese inmenging en invloed langs de kust. Verder beschrijft de tekst de natuurlijke haven, het scheepvaartverkeer en de handel, de aanwezigheid van consulaten en zendelingen en de bouwkundige en economische kenmerken van de stad en haar kadevoorzieningen.
