Making Headway: The Introduction of Western Civilization in Colonial Northern Nigeria
ISBN: 9781580462990 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The process of cultural transfer in Northern Nigeria was historically thought to have been dictated by European colonial domination. In fact, Western missionaries may not have been able to guide African Christians toward mastery of the secular world when they themselves lacked the worldliness to do so. In this penetrating study, Andrew E. Barnes argues that competition among colonizing forces impelled British colonial administrators and Christian missionaries alike to offer Africans those aspects of Western civilization Africans themselves specifically wanted: schools that provided greater...

Language and Collective Mobilization: The Story of Zanzibar
ISBN: 9780739122112 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Communal conflict defines politics in Africa.

Such conflict, within and without Zanzibar, will not be fully understood under the rubric of 'racial' competition alone.

ISBN: 9780887384189 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Portugal's colonial rule in Angola ended in 1974, three liberation groups-UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola), FNLA (National Front for the Liberation of Angola), and MPLA (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola)-agreed to a tripartite movement for the fledgling nation.

This volume covers the first period, focusing on the political history of the UNITA...

The Rebels' Hour
ISBN: 9780802144218 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lieve Joris has long been considered one of the best journalists in the world ("Liberation," France) and in "The Rebels Hour" she illuminates the dark heart of contemporary Congo through the prism of one lonely, complicated mana rebel leader named Assani who becomes a high-ranking general in the Congolese army. As we navigate the chaos of his lawless country alongside him, the pathologically evasive Assani stands out in relief as a man who is both monstrous and sympathetic, perpetrator and victim."
