An eighteenth-century silver ceremonial sword, commissioned in the port of La Rochelle by French traders, was offered as a gift to an African commercial agent in the port of Cabinda (Kingdom of Ngoyo), in twenty-first century Angola. Slave traders carried this object from Cabinda to Abomey, the capital of the Kingdom of Dahomey in twenty-first century's Republic of Benin, from where French officers looted the item in the late nineteenth century. Drawing on a rich set of sources in French, English, and Portuguese, as well as artifacts housed in museums across Europe and the Americas, Ana Lucia Araujo illuminates how luxury objects impacted European-African relations, and how these economic, cultural, and social interactions paved the way for the European conquest and colonization of West Africa and West Central Africa.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50165054308625,"sku":"CIN1594864748A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1594864748.jpg?v=1751342379"},{"product_id":"catering-like-a-pro-book-francine-halvorsen-9780471006886","title":"Catering Like a Pro","description":"Everything you need to get your catering business up and running\u003cp\u003eA solid foundation for anyone looking to begin a career in catering.\u003cbr\u003e-Dr. John J.
