About this book
"The Anlo-Ewe, sometimes hailed as the quintessential sea fisherman of the West African coast, are a previously non-maritime people who developed a maritime tradition. Since the mid-seventeenth century they have attempted to domesticate the lagoons and the sea through the exploitation of salt and fish, the use of waterways as trade routes, and the struggle to obtain security from lagoon flooding and sea erosion.".
