註釋Extrait de la couverture : "The study of the African past from a truly African perspective is less than half a century old. It was indeed contemporaneous with the emergence of the continent from colonial rule. In this new effort to redefine their past, historians of Eastern and Southern Africa have registered their fair share of achievement. The essays in this publication are part of the ongoinf effort to redifine the past and contextualise the present from an African perspective. The eleven essays presented here fall into three broad themes : gender (in education, migration, national reconciliation, legal status and the production process), land (entitlement and development), and centre-periphery relations. The themes reflect he new directions of historical research in the region. Not only do they deal with the issues of contemporary relevance but also raise questions that invite inter-disciplinary dialogue. In that sense, they are reflections of 'the new history' - as much a social science discipline as a branch of the humanities. Such intimate interactions with other disciplines of the social sciences dispels the genral image of history as an arcane subject with little bearing on the contemporary concerns of the continent."
