Out of the House of Bondage
Author: Gad HeumanPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000647668
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Out of the House of Bondage, first published in 1986, focuses not on slave rebellions, which were of crucial importance but not common occurrences, but on the day-to-day patterns of resistance that directly affected the lives of slaves. It examines acts of resistance in both the Americas and Africa, and widens the study of runaways and resistance and uses runaways as a means to further analyse slavery and the wider slave population.

African Chieftaincy in a New Socio-political Landscape
Author: Emile Adriaan Benvenuto van Rouveroy van NieuwaalPublisher: Lit Verlag
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Many contemporary studies of African chieftaincy are devoted to unraveling "chiefly tradition". These studies have tried to unmask chieftaincy as an artifact of modernist projections of colonial rule, missionary activity, and postcolonial state formation. African chiefs and their authority have often been focal points of social and political power, and in the creation and subjugation of ethnic groups. Research on chieftaincy reveals continuities and discontinuities that are highly pertinent to understanding African societies today.
