{"product_id":"the-theologian-slave-trader-christiana-oware-knudsen-9781907728006","title":"The Theologian Slave Trader","description":"A Personal commentary on Fredericus Svane Africanus' autobiography. The Theologian Slave Trader explores the life of Fredericus Petersen, a mulatto adopted in 1710 by a Danish Lutheran Priest at Christiansborg Fort in what is now Ghana and who was subsequently brought back to Denmark as a teenager. The Danish king, no less, Frederik IV, was his godfather. Fredericus Petersen wrote a compelling autobiography which for many years has been largely ignored. In The Theologian Slave Trader, Dr Christiana Oware Knudsen, herself a Ghanaian who for 50 years has lived in Denmark, brings this autobiography, The General Declaration, to life and contemporary relevance by contextualising Africanus' experience within a personal commentary on her personal family history in Ghana. Dr Knudsen approaches this historical material with the lively and engaging approach of an African story-teller, interweaving historical facts with family legends and documented impressions of the period. In so doing, she also poses a number of challenging contemporary questions about aspects of our understanding of slavery and inter-cultural relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christiana Oware Knudsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907728007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907728006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pneuma Springs Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.47d","brand":"Christiana Oware Knudsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125533110527,"sku":"9781907728006","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7b88ac0-8274-48fc-9c69-dc8bfc6d4fb8.jpg?v=1687443162","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-theologian-slave-trader-christiana-oware-knudsen-9781907728006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
