AFRICAN WORLD HIST SOV & STRUGGLE AWH P

AFRICAN WORLD HIST SOV & STRUGGLE AWH P

- Default Title
Description
This is a fantastic little book. It is smart, engaging, and thought-provoking in its coverage of sovereignty--and its many possibilities and variations--in Cold War era Africa. I particularly appreciate its efforts to move beyond well-trodden discussions of political and economic developments andto look at the various ways in which sovereignty was marketed, performed, defined, and embraced in 'unofficial' realms like the stage, newspapers, and airplanes. It is very well-conceived and carried out.--Nate Plageman, Wake Forest University
The focus on decolonization, the debt crisis, and new cultural expressions and music will help students to appreciate the complex nature of Africa's relation with the external world. Reynolds is able to maintain a strong balance between the impact of the Cold War on Africa and how Africansresponded.--Saheed Aderinto, Western Carolina University
Jonathan Reynolds has created another fine work relating to Africa and its peoples. He does an outstanding job exploring the relationship between Africa and the Cold War, and brings Pan-Africanism, women, and music effectively into the conversation.--Kenneth Wilburn, East Carolina University
