Doing Conceptual History in Africa
Author: Axel FleischPublisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1785339524
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Employing an innovative methodological toolkit, Doing Conceptual History in Africa provides a refreshingly broad and interdisciplinary approach to African historical studies. The studies assembled here focus on the complex role of language in Africa’s historical development, with a particular emphasis on pragmatics and semantics. From precolonial dynamics of wealth and poverty to the conceptual foundations of nationalist movements, each contribution strikes a balance between the local and the global, engaging with a distinctively African intellectual tradition while analyzing the regional and global contexts in which categories like “work,” “marriage,” and “land” take shape.

Currently, the language consists of a blend of many sources and what was originally leb lango. Most of the vocabulary in this dictionary is based on the modern day lango language which was compiled between 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st Century.
