John Iliffe

Honour in African History

Buch

In Africa today, inherited conceptions of honor can obstruct democracy, inspire resistance to tyranny, and motivate the defense of dignity in the face of AIDS. This account of the role of honor in African history from the fourteenth century to the present argues that it is essential to understanding past and present African behavior.
