- Summary:
- In a transnational and inter-racial history, Imbua (history and international studies, U. of Calabar, Nigeria) systematically and holistically traces the underpinnings of relations between Britain and the African port city of Calabar, emphasizing the range of contacts, which confirms the reciprocal fraternization between the two people. His topics are the Old Calabar world before European contact, British voyagers, humanitarian British voyages, colony and empire, and not one-way traffic.
