Reviews

'Very significantly, reader and researchers using Forts, Castles And Society In West Africa: Gold Coast & Dahomey will benefit from learning the fortresses roles in what critics have described as the abominable slave trade as well as the economic and political connections, which are centered on the forts, between the Europeans and local African polities; and also their place in various focused heritage studies and endeavors. The 276-page Forts, Castles And Society In West Africa: Gold Coast & Dahomey is a publication that can tremendously benefit college students at all levels as well as researchers and the general reader. Both the editor and the contributors deserve praise in giving an old subject matter a fresh overview to make it an appropriate sequel, where Ghana is concerned, to Professor Albert Van Dantzig's 1980 pioneering work, Forts and Castles of Ghana'. Nana Abena D. Amoah-Ramey, Indiana University-Bloomington, in African and Asian Studies,18 (2019) pp. 213-231
