Africa and the New Globalization
Edited by George Klay Kieh, Jr., Grand Valley State University, USA
This volume introduces African views on the impact of the new globalisation on Africa. Specifically, it focuses on some of the continents more pressing issues the debt crisis, human rights, state sovereignty, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, etc. analysing how these are conditioned and affected by the forces of the new globalisation. It is these problems, dialectically analysed, that make the book a good read for those interested in the dynamics of the new globalisation and Africas place within it. Development Policy Review This book focuses on the new globalization, the most expansive and technologically advanced of all the phases of globalization. It identifies and discusses many of the frontier issues in Africa that are being impacted by the dynamics of this new globalization debt, human rights, development, state sovereignty, the environment, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Apartheid Vertigo
The Rise in Discrimination Against Africans in South Africa
David M. Matsinhe, Carleton University, Canada
Interdisciplinary Research Series in Ethnic, Gender and Class Relations
The Commonwealth Brand

Global Voice, Local Action
Victoria te Velde
At last we have an analysis of the issue of new membership in the Commonwealth. For the many people who remain puzzled that Mozambique and Rwanda, which were never British colonies, have been admitted into membership, Victoria te Velde provides detailed analysis and thoughtful answers and she sets them convincingly in the context of international relations theory. W. David McIntyre, Macmillan Brown Centre for Pacific Studies, New Zealand This book examines Commonwealth identity through the lens of its membership criteria, its recent enlargement and its constant reincarnation. In so doing it exposes various shortcomings in current thinking about international relations and the Commonwealth. Furthermore, it reveals how a number of turning points in the Commonwealths history have shaped its membership rules and illustrates how the official Commonwealth still has the potential to expand and develop to best reflect an organisation that represents a third of the worlds population. Includes 8 b&w illustrations December 2011 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 224 pages 978-1-4094-2917-3 978-1-4094-2918-0 978-1-4094-7653-5 55.00
This is a fine book that critically addresses the highly under-researched area of how people from other Sub-Saharan African countries are subjected to overt forms of psychological and physical xeno-discrimination by those they helped liberate. Its timely publication should be appreciated by all students of post-apartheid South African history and politics, and it should instigate new debates in the area. Ali A. Abdi, University of Alberta, Canada Apartheid vertigo, the dizzying sensation following prolonged oppression and delusions of skin colour, is the focus of this book. Drawing on evidence from interviews, observation, press articles, reports, research monographs and history, this project deconstructs the idea of visible differences between black nationals and black foreign nationals. It demonstrates that in South Africa violent conflict lurks on the surface and it can burst through the fragile limits set upon it, with the potential to escalate into ethnic cleansing.

Criminal Resistance?
The Politics of Kidnapping Oil Workers
Temitope Oriola, University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA
Interdisciplinary Research Series in Ethnic, Gender and Class Relations
This is an excellent contribution to our understanding of the extraordinarily complex relationship between globalization, inequalities and the health opportunities of the poor. Predicated on Africa, Cooper et al. make an insightful and informative contribution to the intensifying debate over the implications of global inequalities and the health of the marginalized. Nana K. Poku, University of California, Berkeley, USA This volume addresses the ideational and policy-oriented challenges of Africas health governance due to voluntary and involuntary cross-border migration of people and diseases in a growing mobile Africa. The collected set of specialized contributions in this volume examines how national and regional policy innovation can address the competing conception of sovereignty in dealing with Africas emerging healthcare problems in a fast-paced, interconnect world. Includes 9 b&w illustrations September 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 200 pages 978-1-4094-2832-9 978-1-4094-2833-6 978-1-4724-0011-6 55.00
This book effectively combines the best of conceptual innovation with empirical rigour in providing a critical exposition of the dynamics and ramifications of oil-related violence, focusing on kidnapping in the Niger Delta. rich, refreshingly new and superb scholarshipa must-read for all those keen on gaining deeper insights into the complex political ecology of one of Africas most sophisticated insurgencies Cyril Obi, Social Science Research Council (SSRC), USA By focussing on kidnappings that are putatively connected to the struggle for emancipating the Niger Delta, Oriola makes the case for analysing the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger (MEND) as a social movement organization, rather than a terrorist or criminal gang by showing how political processes shape kidnappings in the Delta. The use of violent repertoires of contention has not garnered sufficient attention in the social movement literature, despite the fact that around the world, many similar groups are adopting violent tactics without necessarily eschewing non-violent techniques. Based on multi-actor research, including interviews and focus group discussions with community members, military authorities, 42 ex-insurgents directly involved in illegal oil bunkering and kidnapping, and official email statements from Jomo Gbomo, the spokesperson of MEND, this book is of interest to sociologists, political scientists and peace and security studies scholars.

SERIES
Global Security in a Changing World
Series Editor: Nana K. Poku, University of California, Berkeley, USA
Globalisation is changing the world dramatically, and a very public debate is taking place about the form, extent and significance of these changes. At the centre of this debate lie conflicting claims about the forces and processes shaping security. As a result, notions of inequality, poverty and the cultural realm of identity politics have all surfaced alongside terrorism, environmental changes and bio-medical weapons as essential features of the contemporary global political landscape. In this sense, the debate on globalisation calls for a fundamental shift from a status quo political reality to one that dislodges states as the primary referent, and instead sees states as a means and not the end to various security issues, ranging from individual security to international terrorism. More importantly, centred at the cognitive stage of thought, it is also a move towards conceiving the concept of insecurity in terms of change. The series attempts to address this imbalance by encouraging a robust and multi-disciplinary assessment of the asymmetrical nature of globalisation. Scholarship is sought from areas such as: global governance, poverty and insecurity, development, civil society, religion, terrorism and globalisation.

This book revisits post-Cold War Disarmament Disintegration and Reintegration (DDR) programmes in the light of previous experiences of disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration. In the history of North America and Europe in particular, such programmes had a major impact on state-building.

Victims as Security Threats

Refugee Impact on Host State Security in Africa
Edward Mogire, Kingston University, UK
The refugee phenomenon is a major force in international politics, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where refugees are major actors in the affairs of their home and host countries.

Using Kenya and Tanzania as case studies, the work also examines responses made to this threat.

Civil-Military Relations and Democratic Governance in Africa
Community of Insecurity
SADCs Struggle for Peace and Security in Southern Africa
Laurie Nathan, University of Pretoria, South Africa
Exploring the formation, evolution and effectiveness of the regional security arrangements of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Community of Insecurity examines the vital issues of why the SADC has struggled to establish a viable security regime; why it has been unable to engage in successful peacemaking; and why it has defied the optimistic prognosis of the early 1990s that it would build a security community in Southern Africa.

Mathurin C. Houngnikpo, National Defense University, USA

This well-planned and well-documented book (41 pages of bibliography) can be strongly recommended, not only to military and civilian leaders and civil society organisations, but also researchers and students in the fields of political and military sciences and conflict studies. African Journal on Conflict Resolution This book reviews the intrusion of the armed forces in African politics by examining contemporary armies and their impact on society. It revisits the various explanations of military takeovers in Africa and disentangles the notion of the military as a progressive force. The study argues the necessity of new civil-military relations in Africa, calling for a democratic oversight of the security forces.

Comparative Regionalisms for Development in the 21st Century

Insights from the Global South
Edited by Emmanuel Fanta, Universit Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, Timothy M. Shaw, University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA and Vanessa T. Tang, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
This volume has four interrelated topics. It explores the transformation taking place in/with regard to the financing of development in the Global South and the apparition of new players in the field. The emergence of New Regionalisms in the South and the usefulness of these experiences for comparative studies of regional relationship is explicated. It turns its attention to new forms of transnational governance that are emerging and the role that a novelty of actors play in this new multilateralism. Finally, it looks into the implications of this trio of novel directions and players for analyses and policies.

The Legal Empowerment Agenda

Poverty, Labour and the Informal Economy in Africa
Edited by Dan Banik, University of Oslo, Norway
Drawing on a rich base of empirical data from countries in eastern and southern Africa, the authors of this volume make a valuable contribution to our understanding of the challenges associated with empowering the poor in the informal sector. The book calls into question the value of handling the issues from above and shows the importance of contextual variables and local variation. For instance, several authors demonstrate the limitations inherent in Hernando de Sotos approach to formalizing the informal, that has worked in some Latin American countries but which runs into difficulties in the less industrialized African countries. It is an important book and should be read by academics and policy practitioners alike. Goran Hyden, University of Florida, USA Defined as a process which increases access to justice and the legal rights of the poor, legal empowerment is increasingly being considered to be an important tool in anti-poverty efforts in developing countries. This volume discusses the opportunities and constraints related to the enhancement of legal empowerment in the informal economy, with a focus on labour and business rights in Africa.

China-Africa Relations in an Era of Great Transformations

Edited by Li Xing with Abdulkadir Osman Farah, both at Aalborg University, Denmark
This collection seeks to put contemporary China-Africa relations in critical, comparative context and in doing so, it goes beyond descriptions of inter-regional trade and investment, large- and small-scale sectors, to ask whether structural change is underway. Already it is apparent that the growing presence of China in Africa presents the latter with some novel options but whether these will generate a new embeddedness remains problematic. Highlighting the varieties of capitalisms in the new century to the apparent ebullience of the emerging economies in the global South, this book examines such implications for international relations, international political economy, development studies and policies. Includes 12 b&w illustrations June 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 200 pages 978-1-4094-6478-5 978-1-4094-6479-2 978-1-4094-6480-8 55.00
Chinas Diplomacy in Eastern and Southern Africa

Edited by Seifudein Adem, Binghamton University, USA
In contemporary discourse on China-Africa relations, there are three differing perspectives. On one hand Sino-pessimists view China as a giant, feeding on Africas resources to fuel its own industrialization. On the other hand, Sino-optimists see China as a benevolent state capable of developing the continent. In the middle sit the Sino-pragmatists who remain unsure of what Africa might gain from China-Africa relations. This book introduces a regional approach to the study of China-Africa relations by focusing on Eastern and Southern Africa; and it puts forward a disciplinary framework - disciplinary in both senses of the term - for interrogating the burgeoning literature about China-Africa relations by conceptualizing the three schools of thought mentioned above. Includes 7 figures November 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 265 pages 978-1-4094-4709-2 978-1-4094-4710-8 978-1-4724-0327-8 60.00
Mapping Agency
Comparing Regionalisms in Africa
Edited by Ulrike Lorenz-Carl, University of Potsdam, Germany and Martin Rempe, University of Konstanz, Germany
Mapping Agency provides an empirically rich African perspective on regionalisms in Sub-Saharan Africa. It adopts an actor-centred approach but departs from a rather simplified understanding of agency as exerting power and instead scrutinizes to what extent actors actually participate in or are excluded from processes of regionalism. The value of this volume derives from the inclusion of historical dimensions, its open multi-actor approach to both formal and informal processes and its comparative perspective within but also beyond Sub-Saharan Africa. Includes 3 b&w illustrations July 2013 Hardback ebook PDF ebook ePUB 182 pages 978-1-4094-6510-2 978-1-4094-6511-9 978-1-4094-6512-6 55.00

This is a bold and ambitious book with important insights for all engaged in the theory and practice of international peace operations. Drawing on the contrasting cases of Somalia and Bougainville, the authors critique of conventional approaches is followed by the elaboration of a compelling alternative framework founded on the regenerative potential of restorative justice. Sinclair Dinnen, Australian National University, Australia This sharp study makes for evocative reading as it introduces the new concept of regeneration as key to any restoratively arranged peace operation. Military, police, NGO and civilian peacekeeper practitioners, as well as academic theorists, can use this unique work to produce better and more lasting results for conflict ridden communities.

A fresh, multidisciplinary and exciting look at the making and remaking of pharmaceutical patents at the GAT/WTO, utilizing a Coxian political economy of continuity and change in the global political economy (GPE).

In War and Embodied Memory Maria Berghs provides a masterful and scholarly account of the experiences of war-wounded people following the decade-long civil war in Sierra Leone. It is essential reading for students, researchers and academics across all academic disciplines. No one with an interest in the creation of disability, poverty and inequality in the global south should be without it. Colin Barnes, University of Leeds, UK This book describes how an amputee and war-wounded community was created after a decade long conflict (19912002) in Sierra Leone. Beginning with a general sociocultural and historical analysis of what is understood by impairment and disability, it also explains how disability was politically created both during the conflict and post-conflict, as violence became part of the everyday. Despite participating in the neoliberal rebuilding of the nation state, ex-combatants and the security of the nation were the governments main priorities, not amputee and war-wounded people.

Uncovering African Agency

Angolas Management of Chinas Credit Lines
Lucy Corkin, University of London, UK
This is a superb work and punctures the myth of African countries in thrall to China. Lucy Corkins deep account of how the Angolan Government exercises its agency, and how it negotiates with China, is revelatory. The work is nuanced and balanced and important. Stephen Chan, School of Oriental & African Studies, UK In this thought provoking and original work Lucy Corkin demonstrates how Angola has been amongst the most successful of African nations to use Chinas involvement in the region to grow their economies and solicit renewed interest from previously disengaged foreign powers, bolstering their political capital. Uncovering African Agency casts a fascinating new light on Chinas involvement with her largest African trading partner and through this shows how different African states and the governmental actors within them are able to exploit the relationship to their best advantage.

African Contributions in Shaping the Worldwide Intellectual Property System
Tshimanga Kongolo
The book examines the active role being played by Africa in devising new arrangements to tackle public health, access to educational material, access to genetic resources and protection of traditional knowledge and how this international dynamism is properly echoed at the national level. These issues are exhaustibly examined in this timely, incisive and well-researched book. Pedro Roffe, International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development, Switzerland Africa is playing an increasingly significant role in the domain of international intellectual property law, and this book underlines the contributions made by African countries as a group to the development of the current international IP system. It examines in detail their breakthrough proposals and initiatives at the WTO, WIPO and WHO with regard to IP and public health; IP and traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions and genetic resources; IP and biodiversity; and exceptions and limitations to copyright. Using Botswana, Burundi, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, South Africa and Tunisia as examples, it examines the systems under which these IP subject matters are protected.

Business Solutions for Poverty Alleviation from Around the World
Edited by Daphne Halkias, University of Bergamo, Italy and Paul W. Thurman, Columbia University, USA
This is a book of inspiring and important stories for anyone interested in making this world a better place. Whether you are a CEO, student or aspiring professional, this book provides a refreshing perspective on how and why entrepreneurs around the world are pioneering innovative business solutions to poverty. Zahid Torres-Rahman, Founder and Director, Business Fights Poverty Entrepreneurship and Sustainability challenges the notion that not-for-profit social entrepreneurship is the only sort that can lead to the alleviation of poverty. It explores how to bring commercial investors together with those who are best placed to reach the poorest customers. With case studies from around the world, the focus of the contributions is on the new breed of entrepreneurs who are blending a profit motive with a desire to make a difference in their communities and beyond borders. A significant number of the contributions here also recognize that although much research has been devoted to the issue of poverty alleviation and to struggles in developing countries, this is only part of the story. This book also focuses upon enterprise solutions to poverty in pockets of significant deprivation in high-income countries, such as in the US, in parts of Europe, and the richer Asian countries.

In so doing, it situates current developments in Sudan in the broader debate of international human rights, rule of law and transitional justice. For the first time, Sudanese, national, regional and international experts and practitioners are brought together to share experiences, combining a range of legal and policy perspectives. It also considers what broader lessons can be drawn for reform initiatives in other societies undergoing transitions.

Dimitris N. Chorafas
Dimitris Chorafas once again demonstrates the profound breadth and depth of his intellect as he brings to bear his years of expertise as a technical innovator and business leader on the most pressing problems facing humanity today energy production and environmental preservation in the face of overpopulation. This is a clarion call to action reviving themes from the 1972 classic, Limits to Growth. C. Dianne Martin, The George Washington University, USA Dimitris Chorafas reviews Europe, America and Asias energy needs in the coming decade, pointing out that current policies are inadequate at best, and more likely disastrous for the economy. Governments persist in having their own agenda and priorities as well as plenty of constraints and taboos, yet when he critically examines the challenges Chorafas concludes that no government can solve all current energy problems by acting alone This book confronts current thinking, and its after-effect on policies and practices. Readers accustomed to mainstream books and articles which blame fossil fuels for a deteriorating world environment will find this a contrary opinion.

It locates institutional responses to the challenges of ethnic diversity within the context of a federal arrangement, examining how this has been used to reconcile the conflicting pressures of the demand for the recognition of distinctive identities, and the promotion of political and territorial integrity.

This work comes in handy as a valid contribution to the quest for prudent management of our petroleum resources. Ably edited by Prof. Appiah-Adu, with contributions from experts in the field, here is a book that puts effective management of Ghanas petroleum resources, in view of her development, in the forefront and holds the leadership of the country accountable to management standards that are key to the effective utilisation of our natural resources, particularly that of petroleum, for the nations development. Emmanuel K. Asante, Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church, Chairman of the Christian Council, and Chairman of the National Peace Council, Ghana Oil exploration in the developing world has been and continues to be a high profile and high risk activity, often featured in the media and widely debated. Using the perspective of Ghana and comparisons with countries such as Trinidad and Tobago, and Norway, the contributors, global experts in their respective fields, explore five critical areas and propose strategies for: turning oil and gas wealth into sustainable and equitable development; entrenching transparency and stakeholder engagement; effective management of the oil and gas sector; and for safeguarding security and the environment. Country specific models and lessons for Ghana and other African oil producing nations are offered.

A comprehensive analysis of the spaghetti bowl of economic integration efforts of Africa over the past half century, pointing out the overlap and ineffectiveness of many of these efforts; yet, insightfully demonstrating the future need and challenges for such integration efforts, particularly in the area of financial integration and reform. Highly recommended. Joseph J. Norton, former Sir John Lubbock Professor of Banking Law (London), UK This book, which is the first comprehensive analysis of financial integration and regulation in Africa, fills a huge gap in the literature on financial regulation and constitutes an invaluable source of information to policy makers, investors, researchers and students of financial regulation from an emerging and frontier markets perspective. It considers how financial integration can facilitate African financial markets to achieve their full potential and provides a comparative study with the EU framework for financial integration and regulation.

Lessem, Muchineripi, and Kadas rereading of economic and social relations is fascinating and challenging because its perspective is so deeply rooted in Southern African soil. The book is a wonderful combination of personal reflection, concrete analysis, and theoretical elaboration. Michael Hardt, co-author of Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth
Integral Community moves the transformation journey for enterprises and society on from the creation of a new macro-economic framework to practical implementation of authentic or integral development. The authors argue that there are two major fields of force prevailing in todays world the global commons, reflecting our common heritage and the other reflecting local and national singularity, where the notion of feeding off ancient local heritage and talent is key. They also identify four different culturally laden worldviews as Southern (humanistic), Eastern (holistic), Northern (rational), and Western (pragmatic). The enterprise and social innovation in Africa with which the authors are involved provides a lesson in the sort of differentiation and integration needed to operate a living economy, with local identity and global integrity, all illustrated through a rural case, Chinyika, with which they have been intimately involved, whereby 100,000 have become self sufficient over the past five years. Integral Community is a book for academics and students of business, economics, development studies and agriculture, and for policy makers and practitioners concerned with the developing world.

Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions

Concepts, Issues and Cases
Edited by Willie Siyanbola, Abiodun Egbetokun, Boladale Abiola Adebowale and Olumuyiwa Olamade
Developing countries need a much deeper understanding of the process through which technology flows towards them, the way it is acquired and mastered, and its impacts in their domestic economies. They also need to rethink, redesign and upgrade their key science, technology and innovation institutions with a view to improve their effectiveness and efficiency, incorporating best practices from both developed and developing countries. This book goes a long way in this direction, and is edited by some of the most promising scholars from Nigeria. The book is highly recommended. Jorge Niosi, University of Qubec at Montreal, Canada Much of what we know about innovation theory and systems has come from the developed countries and reflects their world view. Innovation Systems and Capabilities in Developing Regions adds to the growing body of knowledge about innovation and innovation systems in developing countries. The case studies presented here advance the notion that, while developing countries may not engage in frontier research, a critical knowledge base from which these countries compete in global markets is emerging. State and non-state actors are increasingly emphasising policies that sit within the framework of national innovation systems. This book illuminates this shift in policy competence at national levels. It also provides empirical evidence on the drivers, dynamics and impact of diffusion-based innovation linked to technology transfer and acquisition in developing economies, and the constraints that apply.

Adopting a Global Perspective
Joel Alemibola Elegbe
This books central proposition is that there is a right mindset and approach that enterprise leaders should adopt in managing their organizations talent in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage in the marketplace. The authors lucidity makes the well researched content compelling for Human Capital Management practitioners as well as business leaders who want to leverage an appropriate talent management strategy for competitive advantage. The context in which the content is situated makes its reading a contemporary imperative, given the forays that enterprises from the developing world and emerging markets are making and will continue to make at the world stage. Emmanuel Imafidon, Director Business Services, Chevron Nigeria Limited Simply appreciating the reality that people are the bastion of success of any organization will not alter concepts about how to attract, hire, engage, develop and retain the talent they need for their success. Talent Management in the Developing World explores how the policies, systems and procedures that have been successful within national boundaries are not only inadequate to meet the value propositions of completely different and diverse people working in different countries, cultures, legal and socioeconomic environments but may, in fact, be dysfunctional to talent management.

If the problem of creating a Palestinian state is todays pathological example of mans inhumanity to man, we mustnt forget that only a generation ago the South African apartheid regime was the worlds rallying point. Huge transformations have been made in South Africa since then, and Jonathan Nobles remarkable book is one of the first to study the architectural and urban ramifications of the collapse of apartheid. Other scholars will no doubt seek to challenge the interpretations offered in this book as befits a subject of such importance but they will be indebted to Noble for having written such a lucidly analytical account. Murray Fraser, University of Westminster, UK Since the end of Apartheid, there has been a new orientation in South African art and design, turning away from the colonial aesthetics to new types of African expression. This book examines some of the fascinating and impressive works of contemporary public architecture that concretize imaginative dialogues with African landscapes, craft and indigenous traditions.

A younger generation of scholars is now rethinking the architectural history of South Africa, and with this book, Nic Coetzer proudly joins their ranks. He provides a fascinating yet chilling tale of how British Garden City planning and housing design played a role in racial segregation in Cape Town, creating appalling social problems which would have ramifications for decades after. Murray Fraser, UCL Bartlett School of Architecture, UK Through a specific architectural lens, this book exposes the role the British Empire played in the development of apartheid. Through reference to previously unexamined archival material, the book uncovers a myriad of mechanisms through which Empire laid the foundations onto which the edifice of apartheid was built. It unearths the significant role British architects and British architectural ideas played in facilitating white dominance and racial segregation in pre-apartheid Cape Town.

This valuable collection of scholarly articles has significantly broadened and deepened our understanding of colonial architecture and urban transformation in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Africa. The contributors to this volume have masterfully unpacked simplistic arguments that have failed to grasp the complex dynamics that shaped the relationship between colonial rule and city building in Africa. This book marks a significant advance in scholarship in the disparate fields of architectural history, urban studies, and city planning. Martin J. Murray, University of Michigan, USA Colonial architecture and urbanism in Africa created a built environment purposely suited to the administrative apparatus of empire: architecture and urbanism sought to project the authority of the European powers while simultaneously stabilizing the fragile European identity at the colonial frontier. This book seeks to uncover the multiple ways in which colonial architectural and urban design practices reconstituted colonial cities in Africa.

Urban Planning and Public Health in Africa

Historical, Theoretical and Practical Dimensions of a Continents Water and Sanitation Problematic
Ambe J. Njoh, University of South Florida, USA
This timely work fills a very significant gap in the planning literature on Africa, examining how certain hygiene and sanitation concerns can be adequately dealt with by deliberately planning the built environment in Africa. The discussions, arguments and assertions presented by Professor Njoh are bold, refreshing and compelling and the work is replete with useful information and data that will definitely improve the research and understanding of planning and health matters in Africa. Providing both the theoretical and applied approaches as to how the problems can be tackled, and putting forward practical and affordable strategies and solutions, the book should empower local citizens, mid-management officials and international development organizations, as well as being an excellent resource to students and scholars of development. Valentine James, Clarion University of Pennsylvania, USA This book deviates from convention by suggesting nonfinancial factors as the source of sanitation problems on the continent of Africa, and argues the need to re-connect urban planning to public health. These two professions are consanguine relatives and emerged to combat the negative externalities of the industrial revolution and concomitant urbanization. However, with the passage of time, the professions drifted apart. Today, more than ever, there is a need for the two to be re-connected. This book is the first major academic work to demonstrate the inextricably intertwined nature of urban planning and urban public health.

Collision of Empires
Italys Invasion of Ethiopia and its International Impact
Edited by G. Bruce Strang, Brandon University, Canada
Italys invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 marked a turning point in interwar Europe. The last great European colonial conquest in Africa, the conflict represented an enormous gamble for the Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. He faced a challenge not only from a stout Ethiopian defence, but also from difficult logistics made worse by the League of Nations half-hearted sanctions. Despite the tremendous importance of the international crisis, however, little new work on the subject has appeared in recent decades. In this volume, an international cast of contributors take a fresh look at the crisis through the lens of new evidence and new approaches to international relations history to provide the most comprehensive coverage of the crisis currently possible, and their work provides new frames of reference for exploring imperialism, collective security and genocide.

This book explores the biblical story of the Curse of Ham, and its relationship to the defence of slavery. It shows how during the Reformation period, the story began to be interpreted in new ways, that provided justification for the rapidly expanding, and extremely lucrative, Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Skilfully weaving together elements of theology, literature and history, this book not only provides a fascinating insight into the ways that issues of religion, economics and race could collide in the Reformation world, but also provides essential reading for anyone wishing to try to comprehend the origins of arguments used to justify slavery and segregation right up to the 1960s.

Rethinking African Politics

A History of Opposition in Zambia
Miles Larmer, University of Sheffield, UK
Empires and the Making of the Modern World, 16502000
Rethinking African Politics is a welcome, thoughtprovoking and useful contribution to our knowledge of African opposition movements, and one that has wide-reaching significance for how we think about African history and political change. In short, Larmers latest monograph deserves to become required reading throughout African studies. The Journal of Modern African Studies This study examines the nature of government and political opposition in Zambia, in the years immediately following its independence in 1964. It shows how Kenneth Kaundas United National Independence Partys (UNIP) grip on the new nation-state was, in contrast to official rhetoric, partial, uneven and consistently prone to challenge. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews, Larmer offers a ground-breaking analysis of post-colonial political history which helps explain the challenges facing contemporary African polities.

SERIES
Variorum Collected Studies Series
The first title in the Variorum Collected Studies series was published in 1970. Since then over 1000 titles have appeared in the series, and it has established a well-earned international reputation for the publication of key research across a whole range of subjects within the fields of history. The history of the medieval world remains central to the series, with Byzantine studies a particular speciality, but the range of titles extends from Hellenistic philosophy and the history of the Roman empire and early Christianity, through the Renaissance and Reformation, up to the 20th century. The well-established coverage of Islamic studies is joined by a growing list in Asian history and in areas relating to the European expansion. Another major strand is the history of science, technology and medicine. In addition the list includes many titles dealing with the histories of philosophy, law, and art and architecture, and the series has expanded with great success into the history of music. Each title in the Variorum Collected Studies series brings together for the first time a selection of articles by a leading authority on a particular subject. These studies are reprinted from a vast range of learned journals, Festschrifts, conference proceedings, and the like. They make available research that is scattered, even inaccessible in all but the largest and most specialized libraries. With a new introduction and index, and often with new notes and previously unpublished material, they constitute an essential resource. All volumes are printed on acid-free paper, and are cloth bound for durability in library use. For more information on this series please visit www.ashgate.com/variorum
Peirescs Orient
Antiquarianism as Cultural History in the Seventeenth Century
Peter N. Miller, Bard Graduate Center, USA
The ten essays published in this volume were written over the space of a decade, but they were conceived from the start as a coherent whole, presenting Peirescs study of discrete languages and literatures of the Near East and North Africa. For Peiresc the student of the Classical past, this described the eastern and southern space in which the Greeks and Romans lived and strove. For Peiresc the Christian, this was the world of the Bible that impacted upon the Greeks and Romans. And for Peiresc of the Mediterranean (for he was born in Aix, spent much time in Marseille, and lived outside of the region for only 6 of his 57 years), this was the territory that his friends and colleagues sailed to, lived in and, usually, came back from. The convergence of these axes in the life of one man, and a man of singular intellectual power and charm whose vast personal paper arsenal had survived, made this such a compelling project.

The Almohad Revolution

Politics and Religion in the Islamic West during the Twelfth-Thirteenth Centuries
Maribel Fierro, CSIC, Spain
The studies in this collection comprise a series of explorations into the revolutionary character of the Almohad movement in medieval North Africa and Spain and how it was expressed, including through visual and auditory means. These articles examine what put in motion such a revolution, how it developed and changed, and the influences it had both in the Islamic and nonIslamic worlds. Eight of the studies have been translated into English, from Spanish and French, specially for publication here. June 2012 Hardback 358 pages 978-1-4094-4053-6 90.00
Documenting Christianity in Egypt, Sixth to Fourteenth Centuries

Leslie S. B. MacCoull, Society for Coptic Archaeology (North America), USA
These studies cover three areas in Christian Egypts long and enduring history. The first deal with record-keeping in Coptic and Greek, showing how these languages were used to embody everyday transactions and messages. Then come five studies of the major sixth-century thinker, John Philoponus, who contributed to the self-definition of the non-Chalcedonian Egyptian church and employed both classical philosophy and biblical exegesis, providing fellow Miaphysites with needed intellectual tools. Finally, six articles ranging from sixth-century philosophy, poetry, and liturgy to the cultural productions of Egyptian Christians living under Muslim rule, examine how they sought to memorialize traditions and deal with internal conflict. Includes 20 b&w illustrations September 2011 Hardback 350 pages 978-1-4094-2788-9 90.00
Studies in Medieval Shiism

Wilferd Madelung, Oxford University, UK, edited by Sabine Schmidtke, Freie Universitt, Berlin, Germany
This volume complements the selections of Wilferd Madelungs articles previously published by Variorum (Religious Schools and Sects in Medieval Islam; Religious and Ethnic Movements in Medieval Islam). The first articles here examine legal and political aspects of early Shi`ism. The following studies relate to doctrinal views of the Zaydi imams al-Qasim b. Ibrahim al-Rassi and al-Natiq bi-l-Haqq and to Zaydi attitudes to Sufism. The final group focuses on the Isma`iliyya, their social and political history and aspects of their religious thought. A detailed index completes the volume. November 2012 Hardback 326 pages 978-1-4094-5011-5 85.00

The Development of Islamic Law and Society in the Maghrib

Qadis, Muftis and Family Law
David S. Powers, Cornell University, USA
The first eleven essays in this collection analyze the application of Islamic law in family law cases in Qadi courts in the Maghrib between 1100 and 1500 CE. Based on preserved legal documents and the expert opinions of Muslim jurists (Muftis), they demonstrate that the jurists placed high value on reasoned thought and were sensitive to the manner in which law, society, and culture interacted. The final essay shows how the treatment of family endowments by colonial regimes in Algeria and India at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries shaped, or misshaped, the modern western scholarly understanding of Islamic law.

The Ottoman World, the Mediterranean and North Africa, 16601760

Colin Heywood, University of Hull, UK
Heywoods second volume of collected papers in the Variorum series brings together fourteen studies published between 2000 and 2010. They represent two of the main strands of his interests during the past decade: the era of Ottoman history dominated by the ministerial family of Kprl; and the maritime history of the postBraudelian Mediterranean in the later 17th and early 18th centuries, with a particular focus on the English maritime and commercial presence in Algiers.

Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306335)

Hans Hauben, University of Leuven, Belgium, edited by Peter Van Nuffelen, University of Ghent, Belgium
This collection of essays by Hans Hauben focuses on the earliest phase of the Melitian schism, from the Diocletianic persecution to the Synod of Tyre (335). It elucidates the chronology of the schism, the impact of the Council of Nicaea, the internal organisation of the parallel church, and the tensions in Alexandria caused by its repression, as well as interpretative problems posed by the sources. The papers constitute an in-depth assessment of the causes, development and meaning of the Melitian schism, and together with additional, related studies also included in the volume they paint a rich picture of early Christian society.

Religious Studies
African Pilgrimage
Ritual Travel in South Africas Christianity of Zion
Retief Muller, Keimyung University, Republic of Korea
This is a rich and stimulating book, one of the best in recent years on the important sector of Christianity that it describes. Africa is one of the principal theatres for the development of contemporary Christianity, and the author sets this African Christian movement within the history of religion as a whole. Particularly engaging is his use of the category of pilgrimage to illuminate what is happening; we sense the transformation of the world in the experience of these multitudes of migrant workers from the modern urban and industrial world as they stand upon their own Mount Moriah and witness the power of God there. The authors evident humanity, sympathy, and preparedness for personal involvement are refreshing, and provide more insight than many analyses determinedly clothed in academic abstraction. Andrew F.

It gives an unsurpassed view of one of the most important Christian movements of the twentieth century. Occasioned by the establishment of the Joe Church Collection at the Henry Martyn Center, Cambridge University, it belongs on the bookshelf of everyone concerned with the growth and identity of African Christianity today. Dana L. Robert, Boston University, USA From the 1930s, the East African revival influenced Christian expression in East Central Africa and around the globe. This book analyses influences upon the movement and changes wrought by it in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania and Congo, highlighting its impact on spirituality, political discourse and culture. A variety of scholarly approaches to a complex and changing phenomenon are juxtaposed with the narration of personal stories.

Black Theology, Slavery and Contemporary Christianity

200 Years and No Apology
Edited by Anthony G. Reddie, Queens Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education, UK
The book is a tour de force, which highlights the practical nature of Black theology not only as an academic discipline, but a subject with real practical out-comes. All the writers seem committed to raise the collective consciousness about the legacies of slavery and how these have played out in Christianity. I have to congratulate the editor, Anthony Reddie, for teasing all the disparate elements and threads into a coherent whole. Black Theology Black Theology, Slavery and Contemporary Christianity explores the legacy of slavery in Black theological terms. Challenging the dominant approaches to the history and legacy of slavery in the British Empire, the contributors show that although the 1807 act abolished the slave trade, it did not end racism, notions of White supremacy, or the demonization of Blackness, Black people and Africa. This interdisciplinary study draws on biblical studies, history, missiology and Black theological reflection, exploring the strengths and limitations of faith as the framework for abolitionist rhetoric and action.

Transforming Masculinities in African Christianity

Gender Controversies in Times of AIDS
Adriaan S. van Klinken, University of Leeds, UK
Drawing on rich empirical material, Van Klinken offers a valuable insight into the complex issue of masculinity politics in contemporary African Christian contexts. A successful synthesis of a theological and anthropological approach, this is a fascinating book that explores new grounds in the study of Christianity in Africa. Birgit Meyer, Utrecht University, the Netherlands This book draws attention to men and constructions of masculinity, particularly important in light of the HIV epidemic which has given rise to a critical investigation of dominant forms of masculinity. These are often associated with the spread of HIV, gender-based violence and oppression of women. Exploring the complexity and ambiguity of religious gender discourses in contemporary African contexts, this book critically examines the ways in which some progressive African theologians, and a Catholic parish and a Pentecostal church in Zambia, work on a transformation of masculinities.

Space and Power in Expatriate and North African Literature
Michael K. Walonen, Bethune-Cookman University, USA
the author has to be praised for his relevant selection of authors and texts, and his systematic analysis of two interesting issues: contrast in non-native and native writings, and contrast among the views of English-speaking writers. Another significant strength of the text is the authors concise, lucid, and accessible writing style the book can be highly recommended. It is a noteworthy contribution to the field of postcolonial African Studies, and it will be greatly appreciated by any scholar wishing to have a comprehensive reading of a wide variety of complex themes related to expatriate literature in general, and English-speaking intellectual circles in Morocco in particular. African Studies Quarterly In his study of the Tangier expatriate community at the end of the colonial era, Walonen analyses representations of French and Spanish Colonial North Africa by Paul Bowles, Jane Bowles, William Burroughs, Brion Gysin and Alfred Chester.

Reimagining the Transatlantic, 17801890 is an important and impressive study. In a series of deft triangulations across a century, three languages and three continents, Almeida-Beveridge substantiates her argument for a pan-Atlantic approach to literary, political and economic commerce during a crucial period of nation formation and international encounter. Her historical sense is astute and her literary comparisons deft; from Robertsons History of America to Darwins Voyage of the Beagle, her readings open out new points of connection to make this study an essential work of reference for future scholars. Susan Manning, University of Edinburgh, UK Proposing the pan-Atlantic as a critical model that extends the geographical and linguistic boundaries of transatlantic and circumatlantic scholarship, Almeida uncovers the shared cultural discourses that connects discourses of discovery, conquest, enslavement and liberation. Her analysis of works by, among others, William Robertson, Ottobah Cugoano, Jos Blanco White, Juan Manzano and Charles Darwin expands our understanding of Romantic and Victorian Britains relationship with Latin America and the Caribbean.

SERIES
SOAS Musicology
Series Editor: Keith Howard, SOAS, University of London, UK
The study of the worlds many and diverse music cultures has become an important part of the discipline of musicology. Often termed ethnomusicology, the resulting studies share the fundamental recognition that music is cherished by every society in the world. Like language, music is a universal means of individual and cultural expression. It is also infinitely varied. Music in any society has intrinsic value in its own right, and can tell us much about the culture in which it developed. The core of the SOAS Musicology Series comprises studies of different musics, analysed in the contexts of the societies of which they are part, and exploring repertories, performance practice, musical instruments, and the roles and impacts of individual composers and performers. Studies which integrate music with dance, theatre or the visual arts are encouraged, and contextualised studies of music within the Western art canon are not excluded. Reflecting current ethnomusicological theory and practice, the editors recognize the value of interdisciplinary and collaborative research. Volumes may utilize methodologies developed in anthropology, sociology, linguistics and psychology to explore music; they may seek to create a dialogue between scholars and musicians; or they may primarily be concerned with the evaluation of historical documentation.

Ancient Text Messages of the Yoruba Bata Drum

Cracking the Code
Amanda Villepastour, Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
The bata is one of the most important and representative percussion traditions of the people in southwest Nigeria, and is now learnt and performed around the world. Although the bata is one of the oldest known Yoruba drumming traditions, the drum and its unique language are now unfamiliar to many contemporary Yoruba people. Amanda Villepastour provides the first academic study of the batas communication technology and the elaborate coded spoken language of bata drummers, which they refer to as ena bata. The description and analysis of this unique musical system adds substantially to what is known about bata drumming specifically, Yoruba drumming generally, speech surrogacy in music and coded systems of speaking. In this way, the book will appeal not only to ethnomusicologists and anthropologists, but also to linguists and those interested in African Studies.

Over 3000 Ashgate books are now available as ebooks

We aim to make as many books as possible available in both print and e-format. A complete listing of our available ebooks can be found on our website. Visit www.ashgate.com/ebooks and click on the link. To find out whether a particular book is available as an ebook, search for the book on our website, and the books information page will indicate whether the book is available as an ebook edition. We do not currently sell ebooks directly to customers from our website, but access to Ashgate ebooks can be purchased via a wide range of ebook suppliers. The full range of suppliers we work with is shown on the website. The major ones include: For libraries: Dawsonera EBSCO Netlibrary EBL Ebrary Myilibrary
Our ebooks are available in enhanced pdf format, and include a fully bookmarked table of contents, internal hyperlinks to and from the table of contents, a hyperlinked index and hyperlinked endnotes. Ashgates ebooks are predominantly bought by institutional purchasers, and read on screen either in an institutional library or remotely. One advantage to libraries of buying ebooks is the flexibility of access. Depending on the supplier or the access model, ebooks can be purchased on a short term loan basis, or may be licensed to multiple users, making it more practical to assign as textbooks titles which previously were only available as hardbacks. The pdf format retains the original page numbering and page layout, which aids citation. As the page layout is fixed, these ebooks are best viewed on larger screens, such as desktops and laptops. We are making many of our existing ebooks additionally available in the ePUB format. ePUB is a reflowable text format, which is designed for ebook readers (including Kobo, Nook and the Sony e-reader), tablets and smartphones. Around 1000 Ashgate books are currently available in Amazons Kindle format. Like ePUB, Kindle books feature reflowable text, which is good for reading on the smaller Kindle screen. Visit www.ashgate.com/ebooks for more information.
