Book Synopsis
Gomes's Viagem..., written in 1648, presents in rare detail the relations of the Portuguese creole community with the African population of south-central Africa.

Trade Review
As I read it, I could not stop imagining myself using Gomes's text to discuss with my students the strengths and weaknesses of the written document as a historical source, and what, even in the same document, might count as primary and secondary source. In this way, both the independent researcher and the guided student of pre-colonial African history will benefit from this book. * Festo Mkenda SJ, Archivum Historicum Societatis Iesu *
