This unique volume seeks both to historicize and to deconstruct the
pervasive, almost ritualistic, association of Africa with forms of
terrorism as well as extreme violence, the latter bordering on and
including genocide. Africa is tendentiously associated with
violence in the popular and academic imagination alike. Written by
leading authorities in postcolonial studies and African history, as
well as highly promising emergent scholars, this book highlights
political, social and cultural processes in Africa which incite
violence or which facilitate its negotiation or negation through
non-violent social practice. The chapters cover diverse historical
periods ranging from fourteenth century Ethiopia and early
twentieth century Cameroon, to contemporary analyses set in Kenya,
Tanzania, Nigeria, Cameroon, the Ivory Coast and South Africa. It
makes a crucial contribution to a revitalized understanding of the
social and historical coordinates of violence - or its absence - in
African settings. Violence and Non-Violence in Africa will be of
interest to students and scholars of African history and
anthropology, colonialism and post-colonialism, political science
and Africanist cultural studies.
