The Watchful State: Security Police and Opposition in Russia, 1906–1917 by Jonathan W. Daly

Why did the imperial Russian government fail to prevent revolution in 1917? Were its security policies flawed? This broadly researched study of Russia's security police investigates the government's efforts to maintain order as it struggled against political opposition and threats of violence during the last decade before the Revolution. Historian Jonathan Daly brings to life the men who, often with reformist intentions, took on the task of defending Russia against political dissent and revolution from within.

The Watchful State reveals how the security police matched wits with revolutionary activists under Russia's first constitutional government, from 1906 until the collapse of order in 1917. The secret police kept a watchful eye on a large number of the radical political activists who threatened the state order. Such constant scrutiny enabled the secret police frequently to disrupt plots against the government, to set snares to trap conspirators, and to hold the workers' movement within bounds.

The security police rarely harassed liberal and moderate activists during the constitutional era, though the regular police administration was not so restrained. The two institutions of law enforcement worked together, forming a security system with one primary goal: to thwart antigovernment forces seeking to undermine the political status quo.

A History of Niger 1850-1960 by Finn Fuglestad

This comprehensive history of Niger during the colonial period is a work based on primary research which attempts an overall appraisal of the colonial past.

Dr Fuglestad questions the assumption that the colonial conquest constituted a clear break in African history. He traces the main trends of the colonial period back to their origins in the pre-colonial past. He also demonstrates that the power of colonial officials was less effective than is generally thought and that, though French colonial rule was the single most important factor in shaping the present-day societies of Niger, it was still only one of the many contributing factors.

While the main events of the modern history of Niger and the neighbouring regions of the Central Sudan and the Central Sahara are discussed and analysed in detail, the book focuses on long-term trends. Particular attention is given to the opposition between the various ethnic groups and between nomads and agriculturalists, which persisted in spite of their considerable interdependence, and to the continuing clash between the values and norms of the rulers and the ruled. The las section of the book discusses the somewhat hybrid political system that emerged with the introduction of European-style politics after 1945 and the economic transformations that took place after the Second World War.

Dr Fuglestad's exhaustive survey of widely scattered and sometimes almost inaccessible archives and documents has resulted in an original and illuminating account of an area of Africa about which there is currently little information.

His History of Niger will remain for many years an important source of reference for all historians of Africa, and particularly for those concerned with French colonial Africa.

The dictionary is a result of over 20 years of research carried out by the authors.

This edition has been expanded to include more botanical entries and an additional section of zoological terms. Individual entries include the Luo terminologies, their botanical/zoological equivalents, common name (where applicable), physical descriptions, their prevalence and their respective economic uses. The dictionary is well illustrated to facilitate identification of the various plants and animals.

This is an invaluable reference tool for scholars, biologists, conservationists, researchers, students and all those with interest in the tropical flora and fauna. It can also be used as a tour guide to the Lake Victoria region of East Africa."

"¿Puede una hija ser considerada como un hijo? ¿Y puede una mujer tomar a otra como esposa, cumpliendo abiertamente con todos los requisitos que la tradición matrimonial impone al novio? La respuesta es en ambos casos positiva. Este libro es un análisis de los roles de hombres y mujeres en uno de pueblos más numerosos y cosmopolitas del África contemporánea, los igbo de Nigeria. Amadiume defiende aquí que en África el dominio patriarcal es una secuela de la explotación colonial, ya que en el período precolonial, sexo y género podían no coincidir, negando, pues, la pretendida universalidad de la subordinación de las mujeres."

Para Remei Sipi la respuesta a esas preguntas está muy clara: «El problema, cuando existe, lo hallamos en las mujeres pobres, y si esta mujer pobre está fuera de su país, la situación se agrava.» Más aún, el problema no es ser inmigrante ni ser mujer, sino serlo en circunstancias de discriminación y/o desigualdad, en las que la diferencia se convierte en excusa para la exclusión.

The History of Ashanti Kings and the Whole Country Itself is a key text for understanding the history of the great West African kingdom of Asante (now in Ghana). It is also an early--and perhaps the earliest--example of history writing in English by an African ruler and his amanuenses. It was begun in 1907 in the Seychelles on the instructions of the Asantehene Agyeman Prempeh I, who had been in British captivity with his family since 1896, during which time he had acquired proficiency in English.

The chief source of information was his mother the Asantehemaa Yaa Kyaa, who possessed an encyclopaedic knowledge of the oral history of her own lineage, which was also the royal dynasty of Asante. The result is an indispensably detailed document that charts the history of the Asante monarchy from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. Context is provided by the inclusion of other writings by or about Agyeman Prempeh, together with four introductory essays by the world's leading scholars of Asante history.

This fascinating volume evokes the rich historical experience of a renowned kingdom, and is of compelling interest to all concerned with the production of indigenous historical knowledge in Africa.

Si le Maghreb est souvent considéré comme en marge de l’Afrique – bien que le Sahara n’ait jamais été infranchissable – son appartenance à ce continent fantasmé est aujourd’hui largement interrogée.

Cet ouvrage questionne l’africanité du Maghreb dans ses multiples expressions. Historiques : à contre-pied des historiographies nationales, une histoire transafricaine révèle un background commun, dont l’Islam peut être l’emblème, ou de larges points de divergences à l’instar de la traite transsaharienne. Anthropologiques : les liens établis entre une appartenance au monde arabo-musulman, les ressources amazighes (berbères) et une marge identitaire imaginée dans l’Afrique subsaharienne. Politiques : les évolutions du panafricanisme, les revendications socio-politiques en Mauritanie. Sociologiques : l’explosion d’une présence africaine, notamment dans le cadre des mobilités et des migrations qualifiées de la Banque Africaine de Développement (BAD) vers la Tunisie.

For more than sixty years, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o has been writing fearlessly the questions, challenges, histories, and futures of Africans, particularly those of his homeland, Kenya. In his work, which has included plays, novels, and essays, Ngũgĩ narrates the injustice of colonial violence and the dictatorial betrayal of decolonization, the fight for freedom and subsequent incarceration, and the aspiration toward economic equality in the face of gross inequality. With both hope and disappointment, he questions the role of language in both the organization of power structures and the pursuit of autonomy and self-expression.
