In the seventeenth century the trading nations of Western Europe came to the Gold Coast in search of gold and slaves, and in consequence there were great social, political, and economic changes. By the end of the century guns had turned the Gold Coast, formerly a gold mine, into a slave mart. It is only by understanding this turbulent history that we can fully appreciate the making of modern Ghana. 4 text-figures 50/Oxford Studies in African Affairs
