Paperback. Condición: Good. This book combines evidence from natural and social sciences to examine the impact on Africa of seven cholera pandemics since 1817, particularly the current impact of cholera on such major countries as Senegal, Angola, Mozambique, Congo, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Myron Echenberg highlights the irony that this once-terrible scourge, having receded from most of the globe, now kills thousands of Africans annually - Africa now accounts for more than 90 percent of the world's cases and deaths - and leaves many more with severe developmental impairment. Responsibility for the suffering caused is shared by Western lending and health institutions and by often venal and incompetent African leadership. If the threat of this old scourge is addressed with more urgency, great progress in the public health of Africans can be achieved.…

paperback. Condición: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. First Edition. Portsmouth/London. 1991. Heinemann/James Currey. 1st Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0435080520. 236 pages. paperback. keywords: Africa Senegal History West Africa. DESCRIPTION - In Colonial Conscripts, Myron Echenberg traces the history of a large and diverse group of West Africans, the men who served in the Tirailleurs SEnEgalais regiments of the French Colonial Army. The Tirailleurs SEnEgalais have evoked vivid but distorted images among adversaries and allies from the time of their founding in 1857 to their phase-out after the coming of independence to French West Africa in 1960. Viewed as colonial collaborators, African soldiers were a mirror of colonialism and reflected its most basic contradictions. As for the hierarchical and paternalistic institution to which they belonged, it was a metaphor for colonialism itself. Of the Western powers, only France brought about a militarization of its African colonies by adopting universal male conscription from 1912 until 1960. While other nations also understood the practical advantages of recruiting from among local populations, the French Colonial Army was unique in its determination to use the Tirailleurs SEnEgalais both as an expeditionary force in every corner Of the Empire and as a bulwark in the continental defense of France in the era between the two world wars. Examining not only how the soldiers and veterans lived out their lives in service and how the military institution functioned, Professor Echenberg also reviews the African military within a framework bounded by such issues as labor, migration, and demography. The main focus is on how the rank-and-file African soldiers, officers, and veterans responded to their ambiguous and often contradictory position within the colonial social formation. Colonial Conscripts is a book for historians of Africa and the French colonial experience, and of war and society. It is also of interest to all whose work involves politics and society of the Third World. '. one of the most comprehensive social histories written of any West African group, it links these histories unmistakably to West African politics, and - not least - it demonstrates the significance of the armed forces in the French African colonies.' - Patrick Manning, Northeastern University. 'It provides an important overview of continuity and development of the tirailleurs. In so doing, Echenberg is able to delineate the dilemmas, indeed the contradictions, of French colonial rule in which the rulers became increasingly dependent upon the ruled. Echenberg has produced an important study that will be of value for historians of both Africa and France who wish to extend their understanding of this interaction of two peoples and cultures.' - Kim Munholland, University of Minnesota. inventory #46061.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. The book and jacket are in very good condition, little shelf rubbing evident. Text and images inside appear clean and clear throughout. 'The incalculable influence of Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) on biology, botany, geology, and meteorology deservedly earned him the reputation as the world's most illustrious scientist before Charles Darwin. Humboldt's breath-taking explorations of Mexico and South America from 1799 to 1804 are akin to Europe's second "discovery" of the New World - this time, a scientific one. His Political Essay on the Kingdom of New Spain is a foundational document about Mexico and its cultures and is still widely consulted by anthropologists, geographers, and historians. In Humboldt's Mexico, Myron Echenberg presents a straightforward guide with historical and cultural context to Humboldt's travels in Mexico. Humboldt packed a lifetime of scientific studies into one daunting year, and soon after published a four-volume account of his findings. His adventures range widely from inspections of colonial silver mines and hikes to the summits of volcanoes to meticulous examination of secret Spanish colonial archives in Mexico City and scientific discussions of archaeological sites of pre-Hispanic Indigenous cultures. Echenberg traces Humboldt's journey, as described in his publications, his diary, and other writings, across the heartland of Mexico, while also pursuing Humboldt's life, his science, his experiences, his influence on scholars of his time and after, and the various efforts by others to honour and at times to denigrate his legacy. Part history, part travelogue, and always highly readable and informative, Humboldt's Mexico is an engaging account of a gifted scientist and visionary that ranges across topics as diverse and broad as natural history was in his era.' li+236 pages. 6.25 x 9.25 inches.

Paperback. Condición: New. Reveals the global effects of the bubonic plague, and what we can learn from this earlier pandemic A century ago, the third bubonic plague swept the globe, taking more than 15 million lives. Plague Ports tells the story of ten cities on five continents that were ravaged by the epidemic in its initial years: Hong Kong and Bombay, the Asian emporiums of the British Empire where the epidemic first surfaced; Sydney, Honolulu and San Francisco, three "pearls" of the Pacific; Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro in South America; Alexandria and Cape Town in Africa; and Oporto in Europe. Myron Echenberg examines plague's impact in each of these cities, on the politicians, the medical and public health authorities, and especially on the citizenry, many of whom were recent migrants crammed into grim living spaces. He looks at how different cultures sought to cope with the challenge of deadly epidemic disease, and explains the political, racial, and medical ineptitudes and ignorance that allowed the plague to flourish. The forces of globalization and industrialization, Echenberg argues, had so increased the transmission of microorganisms that infectious disease pandemics were likely, if not inevitable. This fascinating, expansive history, enlivened by harrowing photographs and maps of each city, sheds light on urbanism and modernity at the turn of the century, as well as on glaring public health inequalities. With the recent outbreak of COVID-19, and ongoing fears of bioterrorism, Plague Ports offers a necessary and timely historical lesson.…
