Ethnicity, Identity, and Conceptualizing Community in Indian Ocean East Africa
₹2,266.00This volume explores how the people of littoral East Africa imagined and reimagined their communities over two millennia of engagement with Indian Ocean transformations―from the settlement of Bantu speakers near the coast around the first century CE to their participation in transoceanic commerce, imperial rivalries, colonial projects, and decolonization movements in the mid-twentieth century. Like other histories of the Indian Ocean, it emphasizes the circulation of people and ideas, but its cis-oceanic approach demonstrates how these littoral communities continued to integrate strategies from those in Africa’s interior as well as from people who traveled the ocean.

Power, Patronage, and the Local State in Ghana
₹2,259.00How have the waves of democracy and decentralization that swept the developing world in recent decades affected states―among the most important drivers of poverty and prosperity―at national and local levels in Ghana and beyond? State actors beneath the national level―what Barry Driscoll calls the local state―have considerable responsibility for carrying out state functions, but they are also forced to compete for these local state offices. How does a local state actually work in poor twentieth-century countries.
