BAYART, JEAN-FRAN?OIS

The state in Africa: politics of the belly

London and New York, Longman, 1993. Paperback. 370 pp.. ISBN/EAN: 0-582-06421-X. Conditie: Gaaf. Drawing upon a breathtakingly wide range of literature, Jean-Fran?ois Bayart denounces the assumption of African "otherness" based on the stereotyped images of famine, corruption and civil war associated with the dominant paradigms of dependency and development theory. In their place he invites the reader to understand that African politics is like politics anywhere else in the world, not an exotic aberration. While acknowledging the insights of western social scientists from Weber to Foucault, Bayart never loses sight of the necessity of locating his analysis in real life and he is careful, wherever possible, to allow authentic African voices - whether those of the "small boy" in the street or the "big men" of the presidential palaces - to speak for themselves in telling observations on the reality of African politics..

HOBSBAWM, ERIC AND RANGER, TERENCE

The Invention of Tradition

Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1993, reprint. Paperback. 322 pp.. No images. ISBN/EAN: 0521437733. Conditie: Very good, spine is discolored. Many of the traditions which we think of as very ancient in their origins were not in fact sanctioned by long usage over the centuries, but were invented comparatively recently. This book explores examples of this process of invention - the creation of Welsh and Scottish 'national culture'; the elaboration of British royal rituals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the origins of imperial rituals in British India and Africa; and the attempts by radical movements to develop counter-traditions of their own. It addresses the complex interaction of past and present, bringing together historians and anthropologists in a fascinating study of ritual and symbolism which poses new questions for the understanding of our history..
