Combining extant evidence with newer interdisciplinary insights to reconsider under-recognized histories and actors, __Identity, Spirit and Freedom in the Atlantic World__ explores West African cosmologies, regional statecraft and socio-cultural practice, and the way they contributed to Atlantic ideas of freedom, identity and spirituality.
