Van Walraven.In the early 1900s the motor-vehicle (car, bus, lorry or motor-cycle) was introduced in sub-Saharan Africa. Initially the plaything and symbol of colonial domination, the motor-vehicle transformed the economic and social life of the continent. Indeed, the motor-vehicle is arguably the single most important factor for change in Africa in the twentieth century. A factor for change that thus far has been neglected in research and literature. Yet its impact extends across the totality of human existence; from ecological devastation to economic advancement, from cultural transformation to political change, through to a myriad of other themes. This edited volume of eleven contributions by historians, anthropologists and social and political scientists explores aspects of the social history and anthropology of the motor-vehicle in Africa.Afrika-Studiecentrum series ;v. 13.Transportation, AutomotiveSocial aspectsAfricaHistory20th centuryMotor vehiclesSocial aspectsAfricaHistory20th centuryAfricaSocial conditions20th centuryElectronic books.Transportation, AutomotiveSocial aspectsHistoryMotor vehiclesSocial aspectsHistory388.3/4096090415.80bclGewald Jan-Bart692713Luning Sabine970017Walraven Klaas van1958-899809MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458973503321The speed of change2204911UNINA06582nam 22006972 450 991045116650332120210531145055.01-280-86768-X97866108676841-4294-5278-190-474-0704-01-4337-0379-310.1163/9789047407041(CKB)1000000000334881(EBL)280826(OCoLC)246970726(SSID)ssj0000240336(PQKBManifestationID)11186233(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000240336(PQKBWorkID)10252443(PQKB)11146318(MiAaPQ)EBC280826(Au-PeEL)EBL280826(CaPaEBR)ebr10171742(CaONFJC)MIL86768(nllekb)BRILL9789047407041(EXLCZ)99100000000033488120200716d2005 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrThe Russo-Japanese War in Global Perspective World War Zero, Volume I /edited by John Steinberg, Bruce Menning, David Schimmelpenninck van der Oye, David Wolff, Shinji YokoteLeiden; Boston :BRILL,2005.1 online resource (739 p.)History of Warfare ;29Vol. 2 edited by David Wolff.

Through the use of research from newly opened Russian and little used Japanese sources the editors assert that the Russo-Japanese War was, in fact, World War Zero, the first global conflict in the 20th century. The contributors demonstrate that the Russo-Japanese War, largely forgotten in the aftermath of World War One, actually was a precursor to the catastrophe that engulfed the world less than a decade after the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth. This study not only further reveals the weaknesses of Imperial Russia but also exhibits Japan as it entered its fateful 20th century.
