About This Item
(London: Heinemann, 1977) 0435945262. 8vo; original red cloth, lettered in silver gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. viii + 215, incl. index; several maps, text figures, tables. Dustwrapper partially sunned; trace of stippling to edges of cloth. Very good condition. "This book makes a major contribution to our understanding of economic history and historiography in East Africa. Indeed it may inaugurate new ways of thinking about economic history because its interdisciplinary approach integrates the findings of historians, political scientists, anthropologists, doctors and veterinary scientists. It is an imaginative, thorough and scholarly re-examination of a range of available historical evidence. Dr. Kjekshus is able to draw on written sources in English, German and Swahili and much of the German material is presented for the first time." .
