Les Peuples d'Ajatado (Accra et Lagos) (Tome 1)

Roberto Pazzi

Description

Douze pièces d'archives de la marine portugaise du XVe siècle apportent aujourd'hui un éclairage fondamental à l'histoire des peuples issus d'Ajatado, une cité royale située à la frontière Togo-Bénin, à 100 km de la côte. Mais ces documents ne révèlent l'énigme de leur toponymie que sous l'éclairage de la tradition orale des autochtones, ceux qui ont déposé dans la mémoire collective les images de leur première rencontre avec les navigateurs européens, débarqués entre Accra et Lagos en 1472.
