Download or read book The African Poor written by John Iliffe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1987-12-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of the poor of Sub-Saharan Africa begins in the monasteries of thirteenth-century Ethiopia and ends in the South African resettlement sites of the 1980s. Its thesis, derived from histories of poverty in Europe, is that most very poor Africans have been individuals incapacitated for labour, bereft of support, and unable to fend for themselves in a land-rich economy. There has emerged the distinct poverty of those excluded from access to productive resources. Natural disaster brought widespread destitution, but as a cause of mass mortality it was almost eliminated in the colonial era, to return to those areas where drought has been compounded by administrative breakdown. Professor Iliffe investigates what it was like to be poor, how the poor sought to help themselves, how their counterparts in other continents live. The poor live as people, rather than merely parading as statistics. Famines have alerted the world to African poverty, but the problem itself is ancient. Its prevailing forms will not be understood until those of earlier periods are revealed and trends of change are identified. This is a book for all concerned with the future of Africa, as well as for students of poverty elsewhere.
Book Synopsis Custom and Politics in Urban Africa by : Abner Cohen
Download or read book Custom and Politics in Urban Africa written by Abner Cohen and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This classic ethnography explores the practices of the Yoruban Hausa community - an exclusive and politically autonomous group which has power and control in many areas of West Africa. In particular, it looks at the 'retribalizing' process by which ethnic groups such as the Hausa reinvent tradition and manipulate values, myths, symbols and rituals from their culture as political tools in the struggle for power and privilege." "Custom and Politics in Urban Africa has become a standard example of how to study complex social relationships in contemporary urban settings undergoing social change. Since it was first published in 1969, the book has been regarded as a landmark work in urban anthropology, and provides a comparative framework for the analysis of political processes in African societies." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Noise Uprising written by Michael Denning and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radically new reading of the origins of recorded music Noise Uprising brings to life the moment and sounds of a cultural revolution. Between the development of electrical recording in 1925 and the outset of the Great Depression in the early 1930s, the soundscape of modern times unfolded in a series of obscure recording sessions, as hundreds of unknown musicians entered makeshift studios to record the melodies and rhythms of urban streets and dancehalls. The musical styles and idioms etched onto shellac disks reverberated around the globe: among them Havana’s son, Rio’s samba, New Orleans’ jazz, Buenos Aires’ tango, Seville’s flamenco, Cairo’s tarab, Johannesburg’s marabi, Jakarta’s kroncong, and Honolulu’s hula. They triggered the first great battle over popular music and became the soundtrack to decolonization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focussing on the problems of change and resistance to change that mark the African sub-continent, this book examines Africa's place in the world from earliest times.

Book Synopsis Highlife Saturday Night by : Nate Plageman
Download or read book Highlife Saturday Night written by Nate Plageman and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlife Saturday Night captures the vibrancy of Saturday nights in Ghana—when musicians took to the stage and dancers took to the floor—in this penetrating look at musical leisure during a time of social, political, and cultural change. Framing dance band "highlife" music as a central medium through which Ghanaians negotiated gendered and generational social relations, Nate Plageman shows how popular music was central to the rhythm of daily life in a West African nation. He traces the history of highlife in urban Ghana during much of the 20th century and documents a range of figures that fueled the music's emergence, evolution, and explosive popularity. This book is generously enhanced by audiovisual material on the Ethnomusicology Multimedia website.
Book Synopsis Political Parties and National Integration in Tropical Africa by : James S. Coleman

This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book focus attention on the role of political groups in the new functioning and development of the new African societies and the political systems of which they are a part. The authors, all recognized authorities, have sought to identify and compare the manifestations of the general tendency among the new states of Tropical Africa toward the establishment and consolidation of one-party political systems, and to examine, in the light of this general trend, the different dimensions of the problem of integration.
