The Danish king, no less, Frederik IV, was his godfather. Fredericus Petersen wrote a compelling autobiography which for many years has been largely ignored. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pneuma Springs Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039300436208,"sku":"9781907728006","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907728006_p0.jpg?v=1763620029","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907728006","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
