Book Synopsis Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century by : Bethwell A. Ogot
Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Book Synopsis The Church in the Long Eighteenth Century by : David Hempton
Download or read book The Church in the Long Eighteenth Century written by David Hempton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Hempton's history of the vibrant period between 1650 and 1832 engages with a truly global story: that of Christianity not only in Europe and North America, but also in Latin America, Africa, Russia and Eastern Europe, India, China, and South-East Asia. Examining eighteenth-century religious thought in its sophisticated national and social contexts, the author relates the narrative of the Church to the rise of religious enthusiasm pioneered by Pietists, Methodists, Evangelicals and Revivalists, and by important leaders like August Hermann Francke, Jonathan Edwards and John Wesley. He places special emphasis on attempts by the Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and British seaborne powers to export imperial conquest, commerce and Christianity to all corners of the planet. This leads to discussion of the significance of Catholic and Protestant missions, including those of the Jesuits, Moravians and Methodists. Particular attention is given to Christianity's impact on the African slave populations of the Caribbean Islands and the American colonies, which created one of the most enduring religious cultures in the modern world. Throughout the volume changes in Christian belief and practice are related to wider social trends, including rapid urban growth, the early stages of industrialization, the spread of literacy, and the changing social construction of gender, families and identities.

Download or read book Cognitive History written by David Dunér and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first introduction to the new field called cognitive history. The last decades have seen a noticeable increase in cognitive science studies that have changed the understanding of human thinking. Its relevance for historical research cannot be overlooked any more. Cognitive history could be explained as the study of how humans in history used their cognitive abilities in order to understand the world around them and to orient themselves in it, but also how the world outside their bodies affected their way of thinking. In focus for this book is the relationship between history and cognition, the human mind’s interaction with the environment in time and space. It especially discusses certain cognitive abilities in interaction with the environment, which can be studied in historical sources, namely: evolution, language, rationality, spatiality, and materiality. Cognitive history can give us a deeper understanding of how – and not only what – people thought, and about the interaction between the human mind and the surrounding world.
Download or read book Humanity written by Fabian Klose and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vielseitige Vorstellungen und Praktiken bilden die Basis der europäischen Konzepte von »Humanität«, wie sie seit dem 16. Jahrhundert bis heute sichtbar sind. Vor allem Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts wurden grundlegende Eigenschaften von »Humanität« festgeschrieben. Erste umfassende Definitionsversuche finden sich in frühen Enzyklopädien und philosophischen Werken der Zeit. Diese Begriffsbildungen wurden schließlich nicht nur maßgebend für die Beziehungen zwischen Individuen, sondern auch zwischen Nationen. »Humanität« bildete einen zentralen ethischen Wert und wurde in den Gesellschaften des 18. Jahrhunderts wesentlicher Bestandteil eines »moralischen Kompasses« für soziales Verhalten. Religiöse Überzeugungen dienten dabei verschiedenen Akteuren als elementare Inspiration für die Entwicklung ihrer Theorien und Praktiken.In diesem englischsprachigem Sammelband beschäftigen sich die Autoren mit den in Europa entstehenden Konzepten und Praktiken von »Humanität« vom 16. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart. Aus einer vergleichenden, interdisziplinären Perspektive nehmen die Beitragenden dabei sowohl Europa als auch Europas Beziehungen zu anderen Weltregionen in den Blick. Die Autoren zeigen auf, wie aufkommende Konzepte von »Humanität« einerseits grundsätzliche Unterscheidungen zu transzendieren vermochten, andererseits aber auch neue Hierarchien schufen.
