Honour in African History (African Studies) Book

This book argues that Frican behaviour, often puzzling to outsiders, is shaped by ideas which have historical roots stretching back for many centuries.

  • Product Description

    In Africa today, inherited conceptions of "honor" can obstruct democracy, inspire resistance to tyranny, and motivate the defense of dignity in the face of AIDS. This account of the role of "honor" in African history from the fourteenth century to the present argues that it is essential to understanding past and present African behavior.
