Abstract: | This dossier, which is the product of a panel at the Lisbon Triennial, deals with 17th-century trade and trade networks in the Greater Senegambia. This commerce was characterized by complementarity of technologies and products from West Africa, North Africa and Europe. Senegambia constituted a space of joining and crossing of multiple transregional commercial networks.
