Presenting the complete translated and annotated text of the Inquisition trial of Crispina Peres, an African woman born in the Guinea-Bissau region, of a Portuguese father and an African mother, it documents the Portuguese Inquisition's religious persecution of Africans on African soil. Set in a slave port in 17th century West Africa, the trial focuses on the worldview of an African woman accused of engaging in African rites and witchcraft, who is imprisoned and brought before Inquisitioners in Lisbon. It highlights her resourcefulness, resilience and spirited defence of her innocence, providing precious details on her life, household, work, health and social and commercial networks in this understudied African region.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: African history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on African history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22African%20history%20%5BHBJH%5D%22\"\u003eHBJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52502987538712,"sku":"9780197266762","price":72.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197266762.jpg?v=1786322589","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/african-voices-from-the-inquisition-vol-1-the-trial-of-crispina-peres-of-cacheu-guinea-bissau-1646-1668-hardback-9780197266762","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
