The Tio Kingdom of the Middle Congo, 1880-1892

<p>Long established as a standard work, this famous survey explores the history of Africa from earliest times to the end of the colonial period. It is exceptional in its breadth (it provides systematic coverage of the entire continent, including the North), in its range (it establishes a clear political framework, but is still more concerned with social, economic and intellectual trends), and in its quality. Now in this major revision -- the first since 1979 -- its four distinguished authors have reworked, updated and expanded the text, which has also been redesigned and reset.</p>

This is a pioneering introduction to a subject that is still at an early srage of academic development. It aims to provide the reader with a systematic method for the historical understanding of African art. Professor Vansina considers the medium, technique, style and meaning of art objects and examines the creative process through which they come into being. Numerous photographs and drawings illustrate his arguments, and help to explain the changes that have taken place.

La compréhension de l'histoire du royaume dirigé par la dynastie nyiginya, sur lequelle Rwanda modernie fut construit, est indispensable pour une compréhension véritable des événements dramatiques qu'a connus ce pays ces dernières années. Vu les carences de l'historiographie ancienne, une nouvelle synthèse était devenue indispensable. Elle est signée d'un des meilleurs spécialistes de cette région d'Afrique depuis près d'un demi-siècle.
