First published in 1997, this volume looks at the process of European expansion which brought into contact societies and cultures across the world which had been initially alien to one another. Conflict was one aspect of this interaction, but accommodation, mutual adaptation, and institutional and behavioural synthesis were also present though often biased in favour of European norms. The intent of this book is to avoid treating ’colonization’, ’dominance’ and exploitation’ as the only focuses of attention. The second volume focuses on the Americas, and uses the topics of religion, class, gender, and race as its points of entry.
Two volumes contain facsimile reprints of articles selected to avoid treatment of "colonization," "dominance," and "exploitation" as the only themes (although they are represented, of course). The editor's idea was to elucidate the interaction of societies and cultures initially alien to each other--not only the conflict, but also the accommodation, mutual adaptation, and institutional and behavioral synthesis. Volume 1 contains an introductory essay and 13 articles on the longue duree, Eurocentrism, and encounters on the periphery of Africa and Asia. Volume 2 comprises 12 articles on religion, class, gender, and race. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book seeks to widen perspectives on entrepreneurship by drawing attention to the diverse and partly new forms of entrepreneurial practice in Africa since the 1990s. Contrary to widespread assertions, figures of success have been regularly observed in Africa since pre-colonial times. The contributions account for these historical continuities in entrepreneurship, and identify the specifically new political and economic context within which individuals currently probe and invent novel forms of enterprise. Based on ethnographically contextualized life stories and case studies of female and male entrepreneurs, the volume offers a vivid and multi-perspectival account of their strategies, visions and ventures in domains as varied as religious proselytism, politics, tourism, media, music, prostitution, funeral organization, and education. African cultural entrepreneurs have a significant economic impact, attract the attention of large groups of people, serve as role models for many youths, and contribute to the formation of new popular cultures.
