| Résumé |
L. M. Garcia—~~Archives and Oral Tradition : Danhome's Policy at the End of the 19th Century.~~ There are some places and periods in Africa where historians are afforded a possi-bility to compare African/oral data with European/written documents. Such is the case for the events which led to the French conquest of Danhome and the appointment of king Agoli-Agbo (the former prince Gucili) to replace Gbehanzin. Dahomeyan informants bring in a description of atmosphere and feelings on the African side rather than brand new facts. They are chiefly useful in throwing light on the intrigues and disputes within Gbehanzin's court, which facilitated the French conquest. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
