Many West African societies have egalitarian political systems,
with non-centralised distributions of power. 'Egalitarian
Revolution in the Savanna' analyses a wide range of archaeological
data to explore the development of such societies. The volume
offers a detailed case study of the village settlement of Kirikongo
in western Burkina Faso. Over the course of the first millennium,
this single homestead extended control over a growing community.
The book argues that the decentralization of power in the twelfth
century BCE radically transformed this society, changing gender
roles, public activities, pottery making and iron-working.
'Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna' will be of interest to
students of political science, anthropology, archaeology and the
history of West Africa.
