by R.J.A.R. Rathbone
Edited by David M. Anderson, R.J.A.R. Rathbone
Paperback / softback
Description
Urbanization has been an important feature of Africa's history for over 2000 years. Towns and cities have been arenas around which societies have organized themselves: as centres of trade and economic activity; as foci of political action and authority; as military garrisons; as sites of ritual power; and as places of refuge and collective security in troubled times.
This collection reveals the depth of urbanization in African history.
