Gun in Central Africa: A History of Technology and Politics
ISBN: 9780821422113 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why did some central African peoples embrace gun technology in the nineteenth century, and others turn their backs on it? In answering this question, The Gun in Central Africa offers a thorough reassessment of the history of firearms in central Africa. Marrying the insights of Africanist historiography with those of consumption and science and technology studies, Giacomo Macola approaches the subject from a culturally sensitive perspective that encompasses both the practical and the symbolic attributes of firearms. Informed by the view that the power of objects extends beyond their immediate...

Recasting the Past: History Writing and Political Work in Modern Africa
ISBN: 9780821418796 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The study of intellectual history in Africa is in its infancy. We know very little about what Africa's thinkers made of their times. Recasting the Past brings one field of intellectual endeavor into view. The book takes its place alongside a small but growing literature that highlights how, in autobiographies, historical writing, fiction, and other literary genres, African writers intervened creatively in their political world. The past has already been worked over by the African interpreters that the present volume brings into view. African brokers-pastors, journalists,...

A Cultural History of Firearms in the Age of Empire
ISBN: 9781409447528 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Firearms have been studied by imperial historians mainly as means of human destruction and material production. Yet firearms have always been invested with a whole array of additional social and symbolical meanings. By placing these meanings at the centre of analysis, the essays presented in this volume extend the study of the gun beyond the confines of military history and the examination of its impact on specific colonial encounters. By bringing cultural perspectives to bear on this most pervasive of technological artefacts, the contributors explore the densely interwoven relationships...

One Zambia, Many Histories: Towards a History of Post-colonial Zambia
ISBN: 9789004165946 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In contrast to the rich tradition of academic analysis and understanding of the pre-colonial and colonial history of Zambia, the country's post-colonial trajectory has been all but ignored by historians. The assumptions of developmentalism, the cultural hegemony of the United National Independence Party's orthodoxy and its conflation with national interests, and a narrow focus on Zambia's diplomatic role in Southern African affairs, have all contributed to a dearth of studies centring on the diverse lived experiences of Zambians. Inspired by an international conference held in Lusaka in...

Living the End of Empire: Politics and Society in Late Colonial Zambia
ISBN: 9789004209862 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Building on the foundational work of the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute, the essays contained in Living the End of Empire offer a nuanced and complex picture of the late-colonial period in Zambia. The present volume, based on untapped archival material and sources that have emerged in recent years, throws new light on some of the historical trajectories that the teleological gaze of nationalist scholars tended to ignore or belittle. By bringing to view the deep-rooted tensions underlying the Zambian nationalist movement, the painful dilemmas faced by chiefly and religious institutions,...
