In 1962 Norbert Elias was invited as a temporary professor at the
University of Ghana in Legon, Accra. He taught, employed fieldwork,
travelled, and met many people in postcolonial Africa. When Elias
left Ghana in 1964, he had laid the basic groundwork for a
fundamental sociological argument on human societies. The volume on
hand is a selection of his unpublished writings based on these
experiences. Together they touch upon not only the well-known
criticism of Eurocentrism and a developmental perspective but also
what could be considered the core of Elias's work: the concept of
civilisation. In a foreword, Dieter Reicher and Adrian Jitschin
have endeavoured to explain and break down the relations of Elias's
African experience to the rest of his work and biography. They also
clarified some misleading interpretations of Elias's time in
Africa. Finally, Arjan Post has uncovered the previously unknown
fascinating story of Elias' encounter with Malcolm X in an
epilogue.
