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. 410 0$aAfrika-Studiecentrum series ;$vv. 13. 606 $aTransportation, Automotive$xSocial aspects$zAfrica$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotor vehicles$xSocial aspects$zAfrica$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aAfrica$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aTransportation, Automotive$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aMotor vehicles$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a388.3/40960904 686 $a15.80$2bcl 701 $aGewald$b Jan-Bart$0692713 701 $aLuning$b Sabine$01575391 701 $aWalraven$b Klaas van$f1958-$01106649 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792368903321 996 $aThe speed of change$93852339 997 $aUNINA
