Recenzii
'By following Lourenço da Silva Mendonça in Angola, Brazil, Portugal and Spain and unveiling the criminal court case he presented before the Pope in 1684, José Lingna Nafafé reveals a universal message of freedom that in the 17th century crossed the Atlantic and reached the Vatican, doing justice to the African contribution to the abolitionist movement.' Giorgio de Marchis, Roma Tre University
'This is a groundbreaking study on the slave trade and its abolition. Nafafé privileges African perspectives on the debates regarding the legality of enslavement, combining a wide range of sources. The result is an engaging book, reconstructing the experiences of a 17th century Kongolese nobleman turned into an abolitionist. This is a crucial study problematizing the history of the slave trade and of the abolitionist movement, stressing the role of Africans as intellectuals debating rights in European courts. A must read.' Mariana P. Candido, Emory University
'In his extraordinarily well researched and carefully argued book, José Lingna Nafafé reveals the important role of Lourenço da Silva Mendonça in the lead-up to the abolition of slavery. Spending years combing through archives, Nafafé not only uncovered that Africans did indeed support the abolition of the slave trade, but that some were remarkably well placed to make a case for it. This is a substantial contribution to our understanding of African intellectual life and moral reasoning.' John Thornton, Boston University
