TRADE IN THE SENEGAMBIA REGION
From the 12th to the early 20th Century

Trade in the Senegambia Region deals with the local and trans-continental trading activities in the Senegambia Region. In this exposition, Patience Sonko-Godwin depicts trade as an agent of change and transposition of cultures from one state to another and from one continent to another. She delves into aspects of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade during which time millions of people from the Senegambia Region  (Senegal, The Gambia and the environs)  were forcefully transported to Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean. Although they were subjected to dehumanising treatment in captivity, they maintained much of their cultures and traditions while adopting new ones. Many improved their social standing.
