Ethnographic studies, in turn, had significant effects on the way imperial powers in Africa approached subject peoples. Ordering Africa provides the first comparative history of these processes. With essays exploring metropolitan research institutes, Africans as ethnographers, the transnational features of knowledge production, and the relationship between anthropology and colonial administration, this volume both consolidates and extends a range of new research questions focusing on the politics of imperial knowledge. Specific chapters examine French West Africa, the Belgian and French Congo, the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Italian Northeast Africa, Kenya, and Equatorial Africa (Gabon) as well as developments in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.A major collection of essays that will be welcomed by scholars interested in imperial history and the history of Africa.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryBook Series: Studies in ImperialismItem Width: 21mmItem Weight: 572gAuthor: Helen TilleyRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
