West Africa Before and After Colonialism West Africa Before and After Colonialism

Garriguesz, a poor Portuguese sailor and his sons, sail to West Africa. They are ready and have illusions that there is something out there. They are the first Europeans to sail to the Gulf of Guinea before the Independence of Ghana in 1957 and the aftermath. The circle symbolizes the globe and the triangle symbolizes the people within it.

Garriguesz, the Portuguese sailor knows the past about how Portugal became a mighty empire by conquering North Africa and the Celts. He knew the family of Vasco da Gamma, whose mother was English. The family was planning to sail to India. He learned a great deal from his grandparent's explorations and distinctive pioneering abilities. These, motivated him to sail to West Africa.

In 1436, Garriguesz and his sons sail on the Atlantic Ocean to West Africa. They bump into strange creatures, sea monsters, Mermaids and Mermen which had never been seen by sailors before. After a feeling of despair they finally reach Edina, to what is today Ghana.
