It moves away from African ?victimhood? by stressing African ?agency? and by demonstrating that societies in Africa have always showed the ability to negotiate whatever constraining ecological, economic and political circumstances they faced. This is further detailed in the context of the literary contest between local and global; of issues of land rights and property; of livelihoods and poverty; of the popular culture; of demystifying African migrations; the changing parameters of territoriality; and the dynamics of the tourist encounter. 410 0$aAfrican-Europe Group for Interdisciplinary Studies (Series) ;$vv. 2. 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government$y1960- 607 $aAfrica$xSocial conditions$y1960- 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions$y1960- 676 $a960.32 701 $aChabal$b Patrick$f1951-2014$0243091 701 $aEngel$b Ulf$0675186 701 $aHaan$b Leo de$0274130 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782481403321 996 $aAfrican alternatives$93697015 997 $aUNINA
