Cambridge University Press African Economies and the Politics of Permanent Crisis 19791999
Book SynopsisThis 2001 book explains why African countries have remained mired in a disastrous economic crisis since the late 1970s. It shows that dynamics internal to African state structures largely explain this failure to overcome economic difficulties rather than external pressures on these same structures as is often argued.Trade Review'This landmark work presents a searching and persuasive political explanation of Africa's failure to achieve development despite two decades of externally imposed economic reform … A major contribution to our understanding of Africa's political economy.' Foreign Affairs'This is economics by someone who understands African politics. No Africanists can afford not to read it.' Commonwealth & Comparative Politics'A well-written book is usually a persuasive book, and this book is well written. Its reasoning is more than persuasive, however: it is compelling in its gloomy conclusions, in which the failure of economic reform seems inescapable. … Van der Walle's book is probably the best among a spate of literature that explains the African economic predicament in terms of the patrimonial nature of politics.' The Journal of Development Studies'The book is a must-read for all those interested in understanding the African situation and how progress might be achieved in the future. … this is an excellent study.' Development in PracticeTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Approaches to Africa's permanent crisis; 2. Patterns in economic reform implementation, 1979–99; 3. Decision making in post-colonial Africa; 4. Understanding state responses to the crisis; 5. The crisis and foreign aid; 6. Democratization and the prospects for change; 7. Conclusion.

Cambridge University Press The Indian Princes and their States 6 The New Cambridge History of India
Book SynopsisThis is a fascinating portrait of the princes of India from their pre-colonial origins to their decline after 1947. Frequently caricatured as British stooges, Ramusack argues that the princes were not a British creation. Many were consummate politicians who exercised considerable autonomy until the distintegration of the princely states.Trade Review'Barbara Ramusack's The Indian Princes and their States is a significant contribution to the history of princely India and the nature of indirect rule under British paramountcy … The Indian Princes and their States is a long overdue treatment of princely India during the colonial period … Her research is rich, interweaving primary literary and oral sources, colonial and postcolonial histories, archival photographs, paintings, maps, and references to literature, film and music. Her prose is readable; her language concise and clear. Furthermore, there is a sense of this scholar's deep interest in her topic … It is a vital resource on an area of Indian history that has often been neglected.' Journal of the Oxford University History Society'… this is [a] good book and deserves a wide readership.' The Muslim World Book Review'Ramusack is to be commended …' Review in History'There are few scholars with greater qualifications to undertake this survey study of the states than Barbara Ramusack. One of the first and one of the most significant scholars to examine the states seriously, she brings to this project a long familiarity with both the scholarship and the research challenges. … Ramusack's rich personal research achievement enriches and adds credibility to the usual survey treatment of the other volumes in this series. Clearly, here is one of the best in the New Cambridge History of India set. … richly textured … a complex and important book, simultaneously a grand introductory volume to the Indian princes accessible to the neophyte (the focus of the Cambridge series) and a cautionary and inspirational test for those engaged in research on the states … masterful …' The Journal of Asian Studies'… a considerable scholarly achievement … Broad-ranging in its coverage, both geographically and thematically, it will be an important reference work for all those interested in modern South Asian history.' Contemporary South Asia'This outstanding book fills a glaring gap in India historiography; it is the result of thorough research in archives and the literature and is very likely to achieve the status of a classic contribution … a well documented history of colonialism in India from a new perspective. They include important surveys of research done or still missing, of discrepancies in British administration and diversity of the Indian States. The author's rigorous sense of nuances helps her to draw an authoritative picture of many aspects of the often over-simplified princely positions … this major work was indeed written in the spirit of the Rudolphs' 'modernity of tradition' and Benedict Anderson's approach to history. It is a 'must'.' Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History'… not only an important contribution to South Asia's modern history, but a fine synthesis of academic research done in the past decades. Ramusack's book will encourage historians of South Asia to take a different view of the princely states. Her well written opus thus serves as a point of departure for an, ultimately, new writing of South Asia's history.'

Cambridge University Press A War of Words Language and Conflict in the Middle East 19 Cambridge Middle East Studies Series Number 19
Book SynopsisYasir Suleiman's 2004 book considers national identity in relation to language, the way in which language can be manipulated to signal political, cultural or even historical difference. As a language with a long-recorded heritage and one spoken by the majority of those in the Middle East in a variety of dialects, Arabic is a particularly appropriate vehicle for such an investigation. It is also a penetrating device for exploring the conflicts of the Middle East, the diversity of its peoples and the diversity of their viewpoints. Suleiman's book offers a wealth of empirical material, and intriguing, often poignant illustrations of antagonisms articulated through pun or double entendre.Trade Review'Yasir Suleiman's book is a seminal work on the linguistic situation in the Middle East, its socio-political and cultural roots, and its implications for nationhood and the study of conflict. This is a well-crafted, well organized, and eloquent book. ' Karin Ryding, Georgetown University' … the book is a good read also for non-linguists, offering possible new perspectives on conflict dynamics.' Journal of Peace ResearchTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Language, power and conflict in the Middle East; 3. When language and dialects collide: standard Arabic and its 'opponents'; 4. When dialects collide: on the banks of the River Jordan; 5. When languages collide: between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean sea; 6. Language and conflict in the Middle East: a conclusion.
