| Summary | "Abrégé de l'Histoire Générale des Voyages (Tome 2)" by Jean-François de La Harpe is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This comprehensive work explores the voyages and explorations undertaken by various travelers, focusing specifically on regions such as Africa. The book likely discusses critical geographic and cultural observations, detailing the interactions between Europeans and African civilizations during a time of expanding trade and colonization. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage for discussing various voyages along the African coast, particularly highlighting the early explorations of Cadamosto in Senegal and Gambia. The narrative introduces the geographical features and the diverse peoples inhabiting the region, including the Azanaghis and various tribes along the Senegal River. Cadamosto's accounts of local customs, trade practices, and interactions with the indigenous populations establish a foundation for understanding the consequences of European exploration for these nations and their residents amidst the backdrop of the Atlantic slave trade.
