The case studies presented in The Land beyond the Mists illustrate the significant advances to have taken place since decolonization in our understanding of the precolonial histories of Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Congo. “The Land Beyond the Mists serves as a fitting testament to a distinguished career of scholarship devoted to unearthing overlooked perspectives into the deep past of an often neglected area of the continent.”—Journal of African History “This collection is a fitting survey of a career dedicated to understanding the history of a place that came to dominate the world’s attention for a short period and the drifted back under the radar. The Land beyond the Mists showcases some of the most innovative work in the field of African History in essays that explore the history of Rwanda, most importantly its western marches, and other pre-twentieth century states of the Great Lakes region.” —Gregory Maddox 2009 512 pages 131. hc 978-0-8214-1874-1 $69.95 SPECIAL $56 132. pb 978-0-8214-1875-8 $32.95 SPECIAL $26 Henri Médard and Shane Doyle, eds.

Willis focuses particularly on alcohol’s role in the making of authority, contending that “for people across East Africa, talking about ‘proper’ drinking and contrasting past drinking with present drinking, have been ways of arguing about proper behavior within their own societies.”—African Studies Review 2002 288 pages 135. hc 978-0-8214-1475-0 $44.95 SPECIAL $36 136. pb 978-0-8214-1476-7 $24.95 SPECIAL $20 Andrew Burton and Hélène Charton-Bigot, eds., Generations Past See Page 8.

Highly recommended for scholars and students of African development, revolution, and Third World politics.”—Choice “Pool offers one of the finest analyses of Eritrean prenationalist relations and postcolonial policies available. He deftly deconstructs the complexities of lowland communities in particular, and illustrates the shifting tensions between ethnolinguistic, religious, kinship, and regional identities in an illuminating and engaging manner.” —African Studies Review 2001 222 pages 138. hc 978-0-8214-1386-9 $42.95 SPECIAL $34 139. pb 978-0-8214-1387-6 $22.95 SPECIAL $18 David Turton, ed.
