African Christianity
Its Public Role
PAUL GIFFORD
Paperback 9781850653356 £15.50
Reviews
'... a fine introduction to the contemporary state of Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa. ... Gifford's analysis ... is unparalleled and excellent.' — Choice

'This is by far the most informative book about contemporary African Christianity around; nobody could have written a study as richly detailed and as informed by real insider knowledge as [Gifford] has done. ... It will be the most significant study of African Christianity to appear at a time when its importance for Africa is becoming ever more widely recognised.' — Professor J. D. Y. Peel, SOAS
The Agony of Algeria
MARTIN STONE
Hardback 9781850653400 £35.00
Paperback 9781850657019 £14.95
Reviews
'No book ever came more perfectly on cue than Martin Stone’s The Agony of Algeria, with its mission to explain. Its thesis is that the issues left unresolved after Algeria won independence in 1962 are at the root of its current predicament. By grounding his argument in a tour-d’horizon of two millennia, Stone shows how complex those issues are.' Financial Times

Alaska
An American Colony
STEPHEN W. HAYCOX
Hardback 9781850656777 £22.50
Reviews
'Having read every general history of Alaska from Bancroft to the present, and many studies of special Alaskan topics, and having lived in Alaska for more than forty years — I have only one comment: Alaska: An American Colony is by far the finest history of Alaska yet produced.' — Wallace M. Olson, Professor of Anthropology, Emeritus, University of Alaska

'Deeply and methodically researched, carefully and accurately presented, Haycox's argument is clear: Alaska's people have been relatively powerless to determine their future, despite being the ones who best know Alaska. As debate continues over the exploitation of Alaska's remaining oil fields, this is a point of view that must be heard.' — Booklist

'This history of Alaska's development looks at the early post-contact period through Russian America and US territorial status and statehood. ... Interspersed with the concise direct narrative are illuminating insights into the role of outside forces on Alaska and the failure of all attempts to make this area self-sufficient within the contemporary economy.' — Choice
