{"product_id":"2940149643882","title":"The Theologian Slave Trader","description":"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 largerly 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\u003eBook reviews online: PublishedBestsellers website.","brand":"Pneuma Springs Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101274030320,"sku":"2940149643882","price":9.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149643882_p0.jpg?v=1763720616","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149643882","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
