ISBN: 9781780329062 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This new look at Nigeria traces the country s history from its pre-colonial days as the home region to a number of distinct tribal powers through its definition by Britain as a single nation in 1914, to the hopeful early days of independence after...

The Paradoxes of History and Memory in Post-Colonial Sierra Leone
ISBN: 9781498520577 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This anthology reflects the complex processes in the production of historical knowledge and memory about Sierra Leone and its diaspora since the 1960s.

The fragments of these memories are etched in the psyche, bodies, and practices of Africans in Africa and other global landscapes; and, on the other hand, are embedded in the various discourses and historical narratives about the continent and its peoples. Even though Africans have reframed these discourses and narratives to reclaim...
