Cet ouvrage, qui dessine une géographie historique du royaume chrétien éthiopien, retrace l'histoire de l'installation des souverains et le transfert de leur pouvoir dans deux nouvelles provinces, l'Amḥära et le Šäwa, entre la fin du xiiie et le début du xvie siècle : une nouvelle dynastie y implante son domaine royal et fonde la légitimation de son pouvoir sur le contrôle des réseaux monastiques. L'enquête, qui explore les chroniques royales, les sources hagiographiques, les récits de géographes arabes ou d'ambassades européennes, tente de démêler les étapes de l'écriture et des réécritures qui sacralisent une histoire, devenue mythe. La rencontre du monachisme et du pouvoir dans cet espace en construction est à la fois un facteur de renforcement du pouvoir royal et un facteur de fragilisation de ce même pouvoir, lorsque les moines font du martyr, idéal de sainteté, l'expression privilégiée de leur indépendance vis-à-vis du politique. En réponse, les souverains éthiopiens superposent aux réseaux monastiques leurs propres fondations religieuses qui, étapes pour la cour, lieux de conciles et nécropoles royales, deviennent des lieux privilégiés de l'exercice du pouvoir.

This wide-ranging volume presents the most complete appraisal of modern African history to date. It assembles dozens of new and established scholars to tackle the questions and subjects that define the field, ranging from the economy, the two world wars, nationalism, decolonization, and postcolonial politics to religion, development, sexuality, and the African youth experience. Contributors are drawn from numerous fields in African studies, including art, music, literature, education, and anthropology. The themes they cover illustrate the depth of modern African history and the diversity and originality of lenses available for examining it. Older themes in the field have been treated to an engaging re-assessment, while new and emerging themes are situated as the book’s core strength. The result is a comprehensive, vital picture of where the field of modern African history stands today.

The Belgians commonly referred to their colonisation of the Congo as a 'civilising mission', and many regarded the introduction of western bio-medicine as a central feature of their 'gift' to Africans. By 1930, however, it was clear that some features of their 'civilising mission' were in fact closely connected to the poor health of many of the Congolese. The Europeans had indeed brought scientific enquiry and western bio-medicine; but they had also introduced a harsh, repressive political system which, coupled with a ruthlessly exploitative economic system, led to the introduction of new diseases while already-existing diseases were exacerbated and spread. Tropical, or 'colonial', medicine was a new field at the turn of the century, linked closely both to European expansionism and human trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness. In 1901 a devastating epidemic had erupted in Uganda, killing well over 250,000 people.
