Description: Developing the Rivers of East and West Africa by Professor Heather J. Hoag, Heather J. Hoag Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A new and timely introduction to water history in Africa. Publisher Description How did rivers contribute to the economic and political development of modern Africa? How did African and European notions of natures value and meaning differ? And how have these evaluations of Africas rivers changed between 1850 and the present day? Drawing upon examples from across the African continent, Developing the Rivers of East and West Africa explores the role African waterways played in the continents economic, social, and political development and provides the first historical study of the key themes in African river history. Rivers acted as more than important transportation byways; their waters were central to both colonial and postcolonial economic development efforts. This book synthesizes the available research on African rivers with new evidence to offer students of African and environmental history a narrative of how people have used and engaged the continents water resources. It analyzes key themes in Africas modern history - European exploration, establishment of colonial rule, economic development, green politics - and each case study provides a lens through which to view social, economic and ecological change in Africa. Author Biography Heather J. Hoag is Associate Professor of History at the University of San Francisco, USA.
