Its prominent contributors include Coquery-Vidrovitch, Rowlands, Osha, Anselin, Li Anshan, Lange, and Van Beek - as well as the specialists Blazek and Berezkin. Our journal has always been a meeting place between philosophy and other disciplines, and this felicitous combination also marks the present volume. The Africanist establishment is largely partial to the splendid isolation and essentialisation of Africa \/ Africans; by contrast, a globalising, de-essentialising perspective informs this book. Here Africa and its inhabitants appear, at long last, as integral parts of the world as a whole, involved in a constant and complex process of exchange where Africa now gives, then takes; now (in Afrocentrist fashion) takes the initiative in global developments, then follows them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wim Van Binsbergen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9078382449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789078382447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.93d","brand":"Wim Van Binsbergen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440421875967,"sku":"9789078382447","price":94.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_148abcd7-0aa9-415d-8729-3d7b3d1c8df7.jpg?v=1777182342","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rethinking-africas-transcontinental-continuities-wim-van-binsbergen-9789078382447","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
