Governor Edward Carstensen's Official Reports on Danish Guinea 1842-50; PLATES & MAPS; INDEX; Back Cover 330 $aSitting on the terrace of the royal plantation Frederiks gave, his favourite retreat, Governor Edward Carstensen came to see the inevitable: Denmark had to give up her i?possessionsi? in Africa. As fate would have it, he came to be the instrument by which two centuries of Danish involvement on the Gold Coast was terminated, thereby making way for the emergence of the colonial system that developed there. After the abolition of the slave trade, Denmark had struggled to find ways and means to legitimate her continued stay at the Coast. At an early stage the Danes initiated a number of attempts to establish experimental plantations to cultivate export crops such as cotton, coffee and sugar. But a transition from slave trade to legitimate products required stability and peace, and a need for control, which the rather limited Danish presence was not able to maintain. Closing the Books comprises a compilation of the official reports that the last Danish Governor sent home during his term of office at the Gold Coast. The reports reflect his personal views regarding the economic and political situations there, as well as his ideas on the civilization of Africa. 606 $aColonial administrators$zDenmark$vDiaries 606 $aColonial administrators$zGhana$vDiaries 607 $aGhana$xHistory$yDanish Settlements, 1659-1850$vSources 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aColonial administrators 615 0$aColonial administrators 676 $a966.701092 700 $aCarstensen$b Edward$f1815-1898.$01038570 701 $aStorsveen$b Tove$01038571 712 02$aUniversity of Ghana 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460450703321 996 $aClosing the Books$92460246 997 $aUNINA
