African Kingships in Perspective: Political Change and Modernization in Monarchical Settings: Routledge Revivals
Editat de René Lemarchanden Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2024
The case studies included in this book also demonstrate the vital importance of monarchical symbols, leadership patterns, and strategic maneuverings for an understanding of the durability and viability of African kingships. It further shows how the actions of individual monarchs may have contributed to the survival or demise of their respective kingdoms, taking into account the obstacles arising from structural and environmental constraints. The institution of kingship thus emerges as a significant variable in the analysis of political change in contemporary Africa. This book stands as an important contribution to the political anthropology of contemporary Black Africa.

Descriere
First published in 1977, African Kingships in Perspective deals comparatively and analytically with dynamics of change in monarchical settings. It examines variant responses of African kingships to the challenge of modernity and political centralisation and to assess their successes and failures in the face of rapid social change.
