Recenzii
'This book challenges our previous understanding of the 19th-century relations between the East African interior and the coast. Thanks to a truly original combination of sources and methodologies, Gooding's work discusses topics and perspectives that historians of East Africa and of the Indian Ocean could not ignore in the future.' Karin Pallaver, University of Bologna
'Gooding shows how East African frontier zones centred on Lake Tanganyika became integrated into the Indian Ocean world through the spread of Swahili and Arab influences, Islam, and the dynamics of the ivory trade. His second contribution is to write the first expansive history of this neglected yet important region.' Stephen J. Rockel, University of Toronto
