Описание: Many books on religion in Africa address the topic from a descriptive, subjective perspective. Human Dignity for All: An Introduction to Religion in Africa, shifts this paradigm, and marks a substantive change in the field by using an observational and objective approach. The book examines the topic from the perspective of the realities of our time, while still giving students the background information needed to understand issues and information in context.Human Dignity for All addresses the four main religions of Africa. Part One addresses Africism, a term which refers to the autochthonic, or endemic, religions of Africa. The text examines numerous aspects of indigenous African religions, including the importance of Supreme Beings, Super Human Beings, and Extra-Human Beings, touching on the importance of magic, witchcraft, and sorcery.Part Two is devoted to Judaism, how it was introduced into Africa, and how it is now manifested differently in different areas of the African continent, including discussions of Judaism in Uganda, Kenya, and Zimbabwe.Part Three covers Christianity in Africa. This section of the book effectively compares and contrasts different eras in African Christian devotion, such as the Apostolic, Patristic, and Apostolate Ages.Part Four educates students on the role of Islam in Africa, beginning with an explanation of the Pillars of Islam, and moving on to discuss Islamic influence on community and jurisprudence, with special attention given to Shari'ah law.Finally, the book offers an appendix that provides numerical facts and figures about religion in Africa. This data moves the material covered in previous chapters from the purely observational to the concrete and measurable, and gives students a useful, statistical frame of reference for the various forms of religion in Africa today.Human Dignity for All gives students a comprehensive understanding of major world religions and their place in Africa, historically and in the modern world. The book is written for undergraduate courses in World Religion and Comparative Religion, but is also appropriate for Divinity studies. It can be used effectively in some graduate level courses.
Описание: Empire and Education in Africa brings together a rich body of scholarship on the history of education in colonial Africa. It provides a unique contribution to the historiography of education in different African countries and a useful point of entry for scholars new to the field of African colonial education. The collection includes case studies from South Africa, Ethiopia, Madagascar, French West Africa (Afrique Occidentale Fran?aise) and Tanzania (then Tanganyika). It will therefore prove invaluable for scholars in the histories of French, British and German colonialism in Africa. The book examines similarities and differences in approaches to education across a broad geographical and chronological framework, with chapters focusing on the period between 1830 and 1950. The chapters highlight some central concerns in writing histories of education that transcend geographic or imperial boundaries. The text addresses the relationship between voluntary societies’ role in education provision and state education. The book also deals with ‘adapted’ education: what kind of education was appropriate to African people or African contexts, and how did this differ across and between colonial contexts? Finally, many of the chapters deal with issues of gender in colonial education, showing how issues of gender were central to education provision in Africa.

Описание: Offers a practical introduction to African studies. This collection provides contextualized information in order to educate, clarify, and illustrate the story of the continent. The topics have been deliberately chosen to highlight issues that are currently relevant to discourse on Africa. These topics are also commonly covered in introduction to Africa courses.
This multi-authored volume explores the significant importance and key information extracted from recently opened, or rediscovered, archival holdings as part of a new, in-depth, document-based field of study. In doing so, and in an age when information, facts and data matter more than ever, this volume will be an asset to readers who need an accurate and lesser-known approach to the Congo Free State, as well as to those who want to understand the wealth of information that remains to be discovered in some of Belgium’s archival centres.
Through the remains of court cases, company archives and private archives, renowned historians and archivists from universities and scientific institutions in Belgium, the Democratic Republic of Congo, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States of America have revisited in this book lesser-known or long-lost archives that are crucial for a deeper understanding of the 30 years of the Congo Free State that marked Belgium’s entry into the colonial era.
In a micro-historical approach, they brilliantly demonstrate what the archives can still offer us to perfect our knowledge and refine our opinion in the long term. In particular, they highlight the fact that this history is part of a global and local history of Central Africa.
