Abstract

The two volumes under review offer rich insights into the checkered histories but also the present and future prospects of the Great Lakes Region (GLR) of east and central africa and the Southern Africa region. The volumes lay out in greater depth the varied social struggles and political contests that have defined the two regions in quite important ways. These volumes have intersecting and contrasting thrusts. While Murindwa-Rutanga’s Politics, Religion and Power in the Great Lakes Region (hereafter PRP) is largely steeped in historical inquiry – the precolonial and colonial power struggles and the role of religion, with rather limited glimpse into contemporary implications – Region-Building in Southern Africa (hereafter RBSA) starts off with a somewhat truncated historical reference but proceeds to give considerable attention to contemporary attempts at ‘region-building’ in Southern Africa.
历史与当代视角下的大湖区与南部非洲
这两卷在审查提供了丰富的见解,以曲折的历史,也大湖地区(GLR)的东非和中非和南部非洲地区的现在和未来的前景。这两卷书更深入地展示了在相当重要的方面界定了这两个地区的各种社会斗争和政治竞争。这些体量具有交叉和对比的推力。Murindwa-Rutanga的《大湖地区的政治、宗教和权力》(以下简称《PRP》)在很大程度上沉浸在历史探究中——前殖民时期和殖民时期的权力斗争以及宗教的作用,对当代影响的一瞥相当有限——《南部非洲的地区建设》(以下简称《RBSA》)以一个有点被截断的历史参考开始,但继续对南部非洲“地区建设”的当代尝试给予相当大的关注。
