Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna
Many West African societies have egalitarian political systems, with non-centralised distributions of power. 'Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna' analyses a wide range of archaeological data to explore the development of such societies. The volume offers a detailed case study of the village settlement of Kirikongo in western Burkina Faso. Over the course of the first millennium, this single homestead extended control over a growing community. The book argues that the decentralization of power in the twelfth century BCE radically transformed this society, changing gender roles, public activities, pottery making and iron-working. 'Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna' will be of interest to students of political science, anthropology, archaeology and the history of West Africa.
Sovereignty without Power
What did independence mean during the age of empires? How did independent governments balance different interests when they made policies about trade, money and access to foreign capital? Sovereignty without Power tells the story of Liberia, one of the few African countries to maintain independence through the colonial period. Established in 1822 as a colony for freed slaves from the United States, Liberia's history illustrates how the government's efforts to exercise its economic sovereignty and engage with the global economy shaped Liberia's economic and political development over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Drawing together a wide range of archival sources, Leigh A. Gardner presents the first quantitative estimates of Liberian's economic performance and uses these to compare it to its colonized neighbors and other independent countries. Liberia's history anticipated challenges still faced by developing countries today, and offers a new perspective on the role of power and power relationships in shaping Africa's economic history.

Marines In The Revolution

Eigentümlichkeit und Macht
Eigentumlichkeit und Macht avancierten im Vormarz zu zentralen Begriffen des Diskurses uber die deutsche Nation. Am Beispiel der sogenannten 'schleswig-holsteinischen Frage' wird untersucht, wie das Thema bedrohter deutscher Nationalitat mit der Vision einer deutschen Flotte und deutscher Weltmacht verbunden wurde. Die Frage, ob die Einwohner der 'deutschen Herzogtumer' im danischen Gesamtstaat ihre Nationalitat wurden bewahren konnen, entfaltete eine Dynamik, die innerhalb weniger Jahre von friedlicher Koexistenz zu Krieg und Burgerkrieg fuhrte und 1848 dem Projekt der deutschen Nationalstaatsgrundung eine entscheidende Krise bescherte.

With a foreword by President Barack Obama, the twelfth volume in the Naval History and Heritage Command’s Naval Documents of the American Revolution series tells the story of the Revolutionary War on the water during the period of April to June 1778.
