Africa's Agitators
Militant Anti-Colonialism in Africa and the West, 1918-1939
JONATHAN DERRICK
‘This is an impressive and scholarly synthesis of a huge amount of historical data that succeeds in presenting a strong narrative of African agitation against colonial rule at the height of European imperialism. As such, this project makes a novel contribution to knowledge.’
—Dr Robert Shilliam, Oxford University

After Genocide
Transitional Justice, Post-Conflict Reconstruction and Reconciliation in Rwanda and Beyond
Phil Clark and Zachary Kaufman (eds)
‘This book should be labelled “for the mature individual only”. But for that mature individual it is of extreme interest. It shows, far from any Manichean stereotyping, the many facets of having to try to live in an impossibly complex social and human situation. Highly recommended.’
—Gerard Prunier, author, The Rwanda Crisis: History of a Genocide (Hurst, 1995)

In After Genocide leading scholars and practitioners analyse the political, legal and regional impact of events in post-genocide Rwanda within the broader themes of transitional justice and reconciliation. Given the forthcoming fifteenth anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, and continued mass violence in Africa, especially in Darfur, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and northern Uganda, this volume is unquestionably of continuing relevance.

Bangladesh and Pakistan
Flirting with Failure in South Asia
William B. Milam
‘Ambassador Milam has written an extremely valuable book—in effect, a comparative history of the state in Pakistan and Bangladesh since the partition of United Pakistan in 1971. The clarity of Milam’s writing, the comprehensiveness of his coverage, and the underlying terms of his argument make this book essential reading for anyone with an interest in South Asian politics. Indeed, as a teaching tool, this book is simply indispensable. Every scholar responsible for a course on modern South Asian history, and modern South Asian politics, will require a copy of this book—as soon as possible.’

Burundi
Biography of a Small African Country
Nigel Watt
Nigel Watt’s book discusses the troubled political fortunes of this beautiful yet disturbed country in the heart of Central Africa. He traces the origins of its political crises, sheds light on Burundi’s recent history by means of interviews with leading participants and those whose lives have been affected by horrific events, and helps demystify the country’s ‘ethnic’ divisions.
