Using an ethnographic historical approach and drawing on the intricacies of what it has meant to be and belong in Kom- an ethnic community in the Northwest Region of Cameroon - since 1800, he explores the discourses and practices of kfaang as central to any understanding of mobility and modernity in Kom, Cameroon and Africa at large. The book unveils the emic understanding of modernity through the history and ethnography of kfaang and its technologies and illustrates how these terminologies were conceived and perceived by the Kom people in their social and physical mobilities. It documents and analyzes the historical processes involved in bringing about and making kfaang a defining feature of everyday life in Kom and among Kom subjects. 606 $aEthnology$zCameroon 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthnology 676 $a967.11 700 $aNkwi$b Gam$0988079 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461017703321 996 $aAfrican modernities and mobilities$92259402 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04887nam 22006855 450 001 9910739437703321 005 20240724094640.0 010 $a9783319446424 010 $a3319446428 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-44642-4 035 $a(CKB)3710000001019165 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-44642-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4785235 035 $a(Perlego)3491791 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001019165 100 $a20170110d2016 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Balkan Wars from Contemporary Perception to Historic Memory /$fedited by Katrin Boeckh, Sabine Rutar 205 $a1st ed. 2016. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (XVII, 350 p. 2 illus.) 311 08$a9783319446417 311 08$a331944641X 327 $aIntroduction -- 1 Katrin Boeckh and Sabine Rutar, The Balkan Wars from Perception to Remembrance -- Part I: War in the Balkans - Towards the End of Empire -- 2 Fikret Adan?r, Ethnonationalism, Irredentism, and Empire -- 3 Edvin Pezo, Violence, Forced Migration, and Population Policies during and after the Balkan Wars (1912-14) -- 4 Daut Dauti, Gjergj Fishta, the "Albanian Homer", and Edith Durham, the "Albanian Mountain Queen".

In Eastern Europe, the two Balkan Wars of 1912/13 had greater importance than the First World War for the construction of nations and states. This volume shows how these "short" wars profoundly changed the sociopolitical situation in the Balkans, with consequences that are still felt today. More than one hundred years later, the successors of the belligerent states in Southeastern Europe memorialize the wars as heroic highlights of their respective pasts. Furthermore, the metaphor that the Balkans were Europe's "powder keg", perpetuated at the beginning of the twentieth century in the face of these wars, was reactivated in both the West and the East up through the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. The authors entangle the hitherto exclusive national master narratives and analyse them cogently and trenchantly for an international readership. They make an indispensable contribution to the proper integration of the Balkan Wars into the European historical memory of twentieth-century warfare. 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aCollective memory 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aMemory Studies 606 $aMilitary History 606 $aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aCollective memory. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 615 14$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aMemory Studies. 615 24$aMilitary History. 615 24$aHistory of World War II and the Holocaust. 676 $a940.903 702 $aBoeckh$b Katrin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRutar$b Sabine$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739437703321 996 $aThe Balkan Wars from Contemporary Perception to Historic Memory$93552686 997 $aUNINA
