商品簡介
This collection examines the relatively new, and frequently overlooked, political phenomenon in post-colonial Africa of chieftaincy "reinventing" itself.
The essays present new research from Ghana, Botswana, and South Africa, providing the broadest geographic African coverage on the topic of African chieftaincy. The nineteen contributing authors, mans' of them emerging African scholars, are members of-the Traditional Authority Applied Research Network (TAARN). Their essays give critical insight into the transformation processes of chieftaincy from the end of the colonial and apartheid periods to the present. Additionally, they examine the realities of male and female traditional leaders in the process of creating anew their legitimacy and their political offices in an age of great social and political unrest, health Issues, and challenges in governance and development.
This book is part of an open access pilot project making research freely available to African scholars.
