"Portuguese" Style and Luso-African Identity: Precolonical Senegambia,

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Drawing from travelers' accounts, maps, engravings, paintings, and photographs, Peter Mark argues that both the style of "Portuguese" houses and the identity of those who lived in them were extremely fluid. "Portuguese" Style and Luso-African Identity sheds light on the dynamic relationship between identity formation, social change, and material culture in West Africa.
