Description

This collection of essays on pre-colonial sub-Saharan African military history is drawn from a number of academic journals and includes some which are considered milestones in African historiographical discourse, as well as others which, while lesser known, provide remarkable insight into the unique nature of African military history. Selections were made so as to produce an introduction to the understudied field of pre-colonial African military history that will be useful to specialists and non-specialists alike. The volume also contains an introduction which presents one of the first significant reviews of pre-colonial African military historiography ever attempted. Review '...this is an admirable, sensitively selected edition with a helpful analytical introduction..a reference work which will be used - and footnoted - by many in the years to come...a significant contribution to the historiography of Africa.'- Journal of African History '...all the essays are worthy of study.' International Journal of African Historical Studies '...the choice of topics covered is commendable and they provide excellent starting points for those with more interest in the topics or areas discussed to develop reading lists from. Furthermore, all of the articles included are augmented by Lamphear’s introduction, which provides not only guidance to key further readings, but also an overview of the historiography of each outlined section.' Kronos: Journal of Southern African Histories '..an excellent collection of classic journal articles on aspects of pre-colonial African warfare...a worthy monument.' African Affairs About the Author John Lamphear is Professor in the Department of History, University of Texas-Austin, USA.
