African research played a major role in transforming the discipline
of anthropology in the twentieth century. Ethnographic studies, in
turn, had significant effects on the way imperial powers in Africa
approached subject peoples. Ordering Africa provides the first
comparative history of these processes. With essays exploring
metropolitan research institutes, Africans as ethnographers, the
transnational features of knowledge production, and the
relationship between anthropology and colonial administration, this
volume both consolidates and extends a range of new research
questions focusing on the politics of imperial knowledge. Specific
chapters examine French West Africa, the Belgian and French Congo,
the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Italian Northeast Africa, Kenya, and
Equatorial Africa (Gabon) as well as developments in Britain,
France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. A major collection of
essays that will be welcomed by scholars interested in imperial
history and the history of Africa. -- .
