Yet the most influential theories concerning social movements worldwide have paid little heed to Africa, basing themselves more often on cases drawn from other continents. This volume draws together contributions from some leading writers on social movements in Africa, setting empirical studies alongside a couple of theoretical chapters. Africa?s social movements have distinctive features that are related to the continent?s specific history. 410 0$aAfrican dynamics ;$v8. 606 $aSocial movements$zAfrica$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aSocial movements$xHistory 676 $a303.48/40960904 701 $aEllis$b Stephen$f1953-$0878531 701 $aKessel$b Ineke van$01517188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788466703321 996 $aMovers and shakers$93842019 997 $aUNINA
