Rethinking Resistance: Revolt and Violence in African History: African Dynamics, cartea 2

Editat de Jon Abbink, Klaas van Walraven, Mirjam de Bruijn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2002
Revolts and violence have always been features of African history but questions frequently still remain as to what and who the targets of resistance were. This volume reviews the subject of resistance in the light of current scholarly thought. Were political forms of resistance directed at the imposition or ending of colonial rule or at African elites profiting from the onset of capitalist relations of production? Or did they have purely sociological or religious roots? With contributions from historians, anthropologists and political scientists, Rethinking Resistance analyzes the concepts of resistance, violence and ideological imagination, and has chapters on uprisings and revolts in nineteenth-century pre-colonial societies and early colonial Africa, post-colonial rebellions and more recent and contemporary conflicts.

Recenzii

'This is a most interesting collection...This book leaves us with the question whether (the condition of peace in certain countries) can ever reasoanbly be expected to last'
