Employing an innovative methodological toolkit, Doing Conceptual
History in Africa provides a refreshingly broad and
interdisciplinary approach to African historical studies. The
studies assembled here focus on the complex role of language in
Africa's historical development, with a particular emphasis on
pragmatics and semantics. From precolonial dynamics of wealth and
poverty to the conceptual foundations of nationalist movements,
each contribution strikes a balance between the local and the
global, engaging with a distinctively African intellectual
tradition while analyzing the regional and global contexts in which
categories like "work," "marriage," and "land" take shape.
