Abstract
<em>Roads through Mwinilunga</em> provides a historical appraisal of social change in Northwest Zambia from 1750 until the present. By looking at agricultural production, mobility, consumption, and settlement patterns, existing explanations of social change are reassessed. Using a wide range of archival and oral history sources, Iva Peša shows the relevance of Mwinilunga to broader processes of colonialism, capitalism, and globalisation. Through a focus on daily life, this book complicates transitions from subsistence to market production and dichotomies between tradition and modernity. <em>Roads through Mwinilunga</em> is a crucial addition to debates on historical and social change in Central Africa. - ASC ' Publicaties niet-programma gebonden |
