Locality, Mobility, and Nation: Periurban Colonialism in Togo's Eweland, 1900-1960
ISBN: 9781580462648 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this original interdisciplinary study of Togo and African colonial history, Benjamin Lawrance synthesizes political, gender, and social history by documenting the contributions of rural-dwelling populations in anti-colonial struggles. Anchoring his arguments on the premise that nationalist historiographies have overstated the role of urban and elite power while undervaluing the strategic place of rural constituencies, Lawrance uses the Ewe nationalist movement of southern Togo as a case study in what he terms -periurban colonialism- -- a historical paradigm that reunites the urban and...

The Ewe of Togo and Benin
ISBN: 9789988626549 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Coordinated by the West African Organisation for Research on Eweland, this publication constitutes a first and much needed English language survey of the history and cultures of the Ewe peoples in the former French colonies, Benin and Togo. The colonial legacy has meant discontinuity in the research conducted on and by the Ewe peoples in Ghana, with the Ewe peoples in the Francophone countries, a more-or-less ethnically and linguistically homogonous people. Hence this book aims to be a step towards re-connecting knowledge and scholarship about the Ewe across the linguistic and geographical...

The lives of six African children, ages nine to sixteen, were forever altered by the revolt aboard the Cuban schooner La Amistad in 1839.

Through eyewitness testimonies, court records, and the children's own letters, Lawrance recounts how their lives were inextricably interwoven by the historic drama, and casts new light on illegal...

Citizenship in Question: Evidentiary Birthright and Statelessness
ISBN: 9780822362913 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Citizenship is often assumed to be a clear-cut issue--either one has it or one does not. However, as the contributors to Citizenship in Question demonstrate, citizenship is not self-evident; it emerges from often obscure written records and is interpreted through ambiguous and dynamic laws. In case studies that analyze the legal barriers to citizenship rights in over twenty countries, the contributors explore how states use evidentiary requirements to create and police citizenship, often based on fictions of racial, ethnic, class, and religious differences. Whether examining the United...

Trafficking in Slavery's Wake: Law and the Experience of Women and Children in Africa
ISBN: 9780821420027 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Women and children have been bartered, pawned, bought, and sold within and beyond Africa for longer than records have existed. This important collection examines the ways trafficking in women and children has changed from the aftermath of the end of slavery in Africa from the late nineteenth century to the present.
The formal abolition of the slave trade and slavery did not end the demand for servile women and children. Contemporary forms of human trafficking are deeply interwoven with their historical precursors, and scholars and activists need to be informed about the long history of...

ISBN: 9780821422007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With forced marriage, as with so many human rights issues, the sensationalized hides the mundane, and oversimplified popular discourses miss the range of experiences. In sub-Saharan Africa, the relationship between coercion and consent in marriage is a complex one that has changed over time and place, rendering impossible any single interpretation or explanation. The legal experts, anthropologists, historians, and development workers contributing to Marriage by Force? focus on the role that marriage plays in the mobilization of labor, the accumulation of wealth, and domination versus...

Intermediaries, Interpreters, and Clerks: African Employees in the Making of Colonial Africa
ISBN: 9780299219543 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As a young man in South Africa, Nelson Mandela aspired to be an interpreter or clerk, noting in his autobiography that "a career as a civil servant was a glittering prize for an African." Africans in the lower echelons of colonial bureaucracy often held positions of little official authority, but in practice these positions were lynchpins of colonial rule. As the primary intermediaries among European colonial officials, African chiefs, and subject populations, these civil servants could manipulate the intersections of power, authority, and knowledge at the center of colonial society.
