Zusammenfassung: | This book examines the role of war in shaping the African state, society, and economy. Richard J. Reid helps students understand different patterns of military organization through Africa's history; the evolution of weaponry, tactics, and strategy; and the increasing prevalence of warfare and militarism in African political and economic systems. He traces shifts in the culture and practice of war from the first millennium into the era of the external slave trades, and then into the nineteenth century, when a military revolution unfolded across much of Africa. The repercussions of that revolution, as well as the impact of colonial rule, continue to this day. The frequency of coups d'états and civil war in Africa's recent past is interpreted in terms of the continent's deeper past. |

Reid. New York : Cambridge University Press, 2012. 1 online resource (xxi, 188 pages :) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier data file New approaches to African history ; 6 Includes bibliographical references and index. 1. The contours of violence: environment, economy, and polity in African warfare -- 2. Arms in Africa's antiquity: patterns and systems of warfare, to the early second millennium CE -- 3. The military foundations of state and society, to circa 1600 -- 4. Destruction and construction, circa 1600-circa 1800 -- 5.

This book examines the role of war in shaping the African state, society, and economy. Richard J. Reid helps students understand different patterns of military organization through Africa's history; the evolution of weaponry, tactics, and strategy; and the increasing prevalence of warfare and militarism in African political and economic systems. He traces shifts in the culture and practice of war from the first millennium into the era of the external slave trades, and then into the nineteenth century, when a military revolution unfolded across much of Africa. The repercussions of that revolution, as well as the impact of colonial rule, continue to this day. The frequency of coups d'états and civil war in Africa's recent past is interpreted in terms of the continent's deeper past. Africa History, Military. Military art and science Africa History.
