Raumwissenstransfer in Westafrika im 19. Jahrhundert: eine Untersuchung am Beispiel der Reisewerke von Raffenel und Gallieni

This volume deals with the exchange of spatial knowledge that accompanied the nineteenth-century European exploration of what are today eastern Senegambia and southwestern Mali. The travelogues of Raffenel and Gallieni are analysed with regard to how spatial information was negotiated, under what conditions it was transmitted and what problems arose. The dependence of the two Frenchmen on African informants is demonstrated, and in some cases it can be shown that they incorporated African spatial knowledge into their monographs and maps.
