| Zusammenfassung: | This book traces the history of early seventeenth-century Portuguese Sephardic traders who settled in two communities on Senegal's Petite Côte. There, they lived as public Jews, under the spiritual guidance of a rabbi sent by the newly established Portuguese Jewish community in Amsterdam and were protected from agents of the Inquisition by local Muslim rulers. The Petite Côte communities included several Jews of mixed Portuguese-African heritage as well as African wives, offspring, and servants. The blade weapons trade was an important part of their commercial activities. These merchants participated marginally in the slave trade but fully in the arms trade, illegally supplying West African markets with swords. This arms trade depended on artisans and merchants based in Morocco, Lisbon, and northern Europe and affected warfare in the Sahel and along the Upper Guinea Coast. The study discovers previously unknown Jewish communities and by doing so offers a reinterpretation of the dynamics and processes of identity construction throughout the Atlantic world |

The blade weapons trade was an important part of their commercial activities. These merchants participated marginally in the slave trade but fully in the arms trade, illegally supplying West African markets with swords. This arms trade depended on artisans and merchants based in Morocco, Lisbon, and northern Europe and affected warfare in the Sahel and along the Upper Guinea Coast. The study discovers previously unknown Jewish communities and by doing so offers a reinterpretation of the dynamics and processes of identity construction throughout the Atlantic world Geschichte 1600-1700 Geschichte 1500-1600 Geschichte 1600-1640 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Juden Jews / Senegal / Petite Coast / History / 16th century Jews / Senegal / Petite Coast / History / 17th century Sephardim / Senegal / Petite Coast / History / 16th century Sephardim / Senegal / Petite Coast / History / 17th century Marranos / Senegal / Petite Coast / History / 16th century Marranos / Senegal / Petite Coast / History / 17th century Sephardim (DE-588)4118598-5 gnd rswk-swf Portugiesen (DE-588)4046844-6 gnd rswk-swf Siedlung (DE-588)4054858-2 gnd rswk-swf Petite Coast (Senegal) / Ethnic relations Senegambien (DE-588)4118586-9 gnd rswk-swf Portugiesen (DE-588)4046844-6 s Sephardim (DE-588)4118598-5 s Senegambien (DE-588)4118586-9 g Siedlung (DE-588)4054858-2 s Geschichte 1600-1640 z DE-604 Silva Horta, José da Verfasser aut Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-521-19286-6 (DE-604)BV037339341 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-107-66746-4 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511921537 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
