Cahiers d’Etudes Africaines presents a historical study focusing on the Afro-Brazilian communities in Togo. The work explores their economic and political influence between 1882 and 1945, using the history of the prominent Olympio family as a point of departure. Scholars estimate that between 3,000 and 8,000 Afro-Brazilians returned to Africa from the early 18th to early 20th century.
