Beschreibung:
Many West African societies have egalitarian political systems, with non-centralised distributions of power. ''Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna'' analyses a wide range of archaeological data to explore the development of such societies. The volume offers a detailed case study of the village settlement of Kirikongo in western Burkina Faso. Over the course of the first millennium, this single homestead extended control over a growing community. The book argues that the decentralization of power in the twelfth century BCE radically transformed this society, changing gender roles, public activities, pottery making and iron-working. ''Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna'' will be of interest to students of political science, anthropology, archaeology and the history of West Africa.
