Re: Cute graphic... (none / 1)
In the 1500's, obviously the economic integration of North Africa into the Sahelian trading system was by no means trivial, but that was then and this is now. The Sahelian trading system no longer exists as a major economic force.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
