Red Sea Citizens
In the late 19th century, the port of Massawa on the Red Sea was a multiethnic commercial hub. This book presents the story of how Massawa rose to prominence as one of Northeast Africa's most important shipping centres. It constructs the social, material, religious, and cultural history of this mercantile community in a period of sweeping change.
