Abstract

The Voyages of Discovery opened vast new worlds for European exploration, including the mysterious Dark Continent. The Portuguese left ample written records of their "discovery'' of Africa, which have dominated the historian's approach to the Age of Discovery. However, many African cultures were not literate and, consequently, the African perspective on the European explorations is often largely lost in introductory surveys. 1
