Taylor & Francis Routledge Handbook of Critical African Heritage
Book SynopsisThis handbook is a foundational reference point for critical heritage research about Africa and its diaspora.Foregrounding the diversity of knowledge systems needed to examine heritage issues in such a diverse continent, the contributors to this volume: argue for an understanding heritage that is at once both natural and cultural, tangible and intangible, political and dissonant, going beyond the physical and objective to include subjective narratives, performances, rituals, memories and emotions examine the pre-coloniality, coloniality, post-coloniality, and decoloniality of current African heritage discourses and their consequences analyse how heritage legislation derived from colonial law is compatible or otherwise with how heritage is perceived, identified and remembered in African communities discuss questions of repatriation, restitution and reparations in relation to the return of artefacts from Western countries illumina

Taylor & Francis The Musical Heritage of AlAndalus
Book SynopsisThe Musical Heritage of Al-Andalus is a critical account of the history of Andalusian music in Iberia from the Islamic conquest of 711 to the final expulsion of the Moriscos (Spanish Muslims converted to Christianity) in the early 17th century. This volume presents the documentation that has come down to us, accompanied by critical and detailed analyses of the sources written in Arabic, Old Catalan, Castilian, Hebrew, and Latin. It is also informed by research the author has conducted on modern Andalusian musical traditions in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria. While the cultural achievements of medieval Muslim Spain have been the topic of a large number of scholarly and popular publications in recent decades, what may arguably be its most enduring contribution music has been almost entirely neglected. The overarching purpose of this work is to elucidate as clearly as possible the many different types of musical interactions that took place in medTrade ReviewWINNER: PREMIO DEL REY BOOK PRIZE 2022(American Historical Association)"At once technical and accessible, Dwight F. Reynolds’s The Musical Heritage of Al-Andalus was the unanimous selection out of a strong field of entries for the 2022 Premio del Rey. Reynolds judiciously teases out the elusive history of music from the time of the Islamic conquest of Iberia through the Morisco era, touching on matters as diverse as instrumentation, theory, lyric, and performance among the traditions of Christians, Muslims, and Jews in Iberia and the Mediterranean world."WINNER: EARLY MUSIC BOOK PRIZE 2022(American Musicological Society)“. . . The twelve chapters of The Musical Heritage of al-Andalus track the pernicious politics of “influence”; interreligious and intercultural negotiations beyond the traditional, narrow tripartition of Muslims, Christians, and Jews; gender roles and sexual identities; the development of “revolutionary” Arabic and Hebrew lyric genres in Iberia; and the complex intertwining of social status, ethnicity, enslavement, and music professionalization (alongside much more). . . Reynolds makes accessible a rich body of work that may be unfamiliar to the wider readership that the book invites, and offers compelling new arguments for specialized readers. This magisterial monograph promises to invigorate new generations of scholars and scholarship on the music of al-Andalus.”"Although the author specifies that he chose not to title his book as a history of the music of al-Andalus, the wealth of details and historical information drawn from numerous sources is remarkable and concerns the period from the Islamic conquest and the creation of the Umayyad Caliphate of the eighth century to the definitive expulsion of the moriscos of the early seventeenth century."-Paolo Scarnecchia, Radiotelevisione svizzera"In conclusion, the volume, presented online by the author through a dialogue with Debra Blumenthal available on the Youtube channel of the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, represents an updated picture of the state of studies on the music of al-Andalus and offers a detailed historical view of its flowering, thanks also to the presence of texts from primary sources that have been translated for the first time." - Paolo Scarnecchia, gdmTable of ContentsSection One: Music in Iberia and the Mashriq up to 711 Chapter 1 – Music in Iberia to 711 Chapter 2 – Arab music to 711 Section Two: Andalusi Music to the Fall of the Umayyad Caliphate, 711–1031 Chapter 3 – From the conquest to the reign of ‘Abd al-Raḥmān II, 711–822 Chapter 4 – ‘Abd al-Raḥmān II and Ziryāb, 822–852Chapter 5 – The final years of the Caliphate, 858–1031 Section Three: Music in the Medieval Mediterranean Chapter 6 – Instrumentarium Chapter 7 – Music Theory and Performance Practices Section Four: The Musical Revolution in al-Andalus Chapter 8 – From Ṣawt to Muwashshaḥ Chapter 9 – Hebrew Muwashshaḥāt Section Five: Post-Umayyad Iberia (11th–17th c.)

Taylor & Francis Ltd Missionaries and the Colonial State
Book SynopsisCatholic and Protestant missionaries followed their own, competing agendas rather than those of the colonial state. This volume unravels these agendas and challenges received wisdom on the histories of Rwanda and Burundi, as well as the colonial relationship between state and mission. The archives of the White Fathers Catholic missionary order in Rome and Paris are read alongside primary sources produced by the British Protestant Church Missionary Society to analyse their impact between 1900 and 1972 in Rwanda and Burundi. The colonial state was weaker than often assumed, and permeable by external radical influences. Denominational competition between Catholic and Protestant missionaries was a key motor of this radicalism. The colonial state in both kingdoms was a weak, reactive agent rather than a structuring form of power. This volume shows that missionaries were more committed and influential actors, but their inability to manage the mass demand for the education thTrade Review"Authored by David Whitehouse, “Missionaries and the Colonial State: Radicalism and Governance in Rwanda and Burundi, 1900–1972” is a brilliant addition to the existing knowledge of the subject. The originality and main point of this work is that the missionaries followed their own agendas as opposed to the agenda of the Belgian colonial state in Rwanda and Burundi. Of the two, the missionaries had the upper hand. The colonial state was weak – it lacked the capacity to articulate and enforce its own agenda. Crucially, besides this main theme, the book analyses the key moments in history of Rwanda and Burundi, such the overthrow of the Tutsi Kings, Musinga in 1931, Kigeli in 1959, and the launch of the Hutu rule under Gregoire Kayibanda in what became known as the “social revolution.” The book also examines the fragmentation of the Hutu ruling elite into Southern and Northern factions that led to the overthrow of President Kayibanda by General Juvenal Habyarimana in 1973. This work is not only an important resource for historians of Christianity and colonial rule in Belgian Africa, it is vital for Rwandans and Burundians who seek to enlighten themselves on the actors that shaped our history that still impacts our countries" - David Himbara, Educator, Author and Professor of International Development, based in Toronto, CanadaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd British Media and the Rwandan Genocide
Book SynopsisThroughout the 1990s, humanitarian interventionism sat at a crossroads, where ideas about rights and duties within and beyond borders collided with an international reality of civil conflict where the most basic human rights were violated in the most brutal manner. This growing awareness of humanitarian crises has been enabled by a more globalized media which increasingly shapes public perceptions of distant crises, public opinion, and political decision-making. Clarke examines the extent to which the public discourse, and particular concepts, including those of an ethical and legal nature, influenced British newspaper coverage of the 1994 crisis in Rwanda, and, in turn, the extent to which that coverage influenced the British Parliamentâs response to the crisis. Through his development and application of a broader methodological approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the book offers a fuller understanding of the relationship between media cTrade Review"...one of the great things about Clarke’s book: he does open a long line of questions for possible future inquiry. Application of his methodology to news coverage of other humanitarian crises may also yield important results. Such findings could change how the media deals with stereotyping, pressuring governments, and perceptions of objectivity." - Samantha Stevens, Concordia University, in the Journal of Communication 2019"...a complex and considered study, which adds much to our understanding of media responses to the Rwandan tragedy and should ultimately become an important read for those with an interest in a variety of related fields. ...scholars with an interest in a variety of fields—media and human rights, international relations, British politics—will find this book to be a worthwhile addition to their library." - David Patrick, The International Journal of Press/Politics."As Clarke emphasizes in his book, the liberal interventionist ideals of the decade he captures may not have endured; nonetheless, this work illustrates the value of methodological research to challenge the historical narratives they wove. Such methodologies could be used to challenge other assumptions or examine falsehoods." - Catherine Bond in African Affairs 2022. Table of ContentsPart IIntroduction1.
