The World and a Very Small Place in Africa A History of Globalization in Niumi The Gambia eBook Donald R Wright Reviews
I am thoroughly enjoying this book, which perfectly combines historical research and present-day ethical concerns. I recommend it for anyone interested in how everyday lives fit or don't fit into the bigger picture.
Perfect just what I wanted thank you!
To write a good book on such a small country is quite a task. I have read this book twice in preparation to go to The Gambia for short-term stays (not as a tourist). I had a hard time focusing on some of the history of the area, such as dynasties and tribes. Some fo the other information like slavery, economy, and women are very eye-opening, dispelling many myths about Africa. Nothing is quite the same as experiencing the country first-hand, but this book may help to rid the initial culture-shock if you are going there. The book Roots (and the 1980s tv show) are based on this country. I suggest reading Wright's book first; it makes Roots that much more enjoyable.
This book is well written, concise and gives knowledge about a the broad concept of colonization by using a small section of territory.
I wasn't sure I was going to like this book, but it actually ended up being a great read. I would suggest it to anyone interested in globalization and/or economic markets.
I bought this for an African history and it served as textbook. It's pretty compact considering the amount of specific information they give you regarding Niumi. If you want to learn about life in West Africa, the social structures, and the impact of trade and the environment then this is a good place to start.
This is a terrific book on all levels. Wright has an interesting take on world systems as seen through the lens of a small community in The Gambia - a community called Niumi. But, much more than an academic book, Wright is an excellent writer who has written an evocative story of the village through time to the twentyfirst century. As told by Wright, the story of this village and its people grabs you.
Utilizing The Gambia as a case study, Wright illustrates a complicated and fascinating history of Africa through a very small region. Demonstrating a great deal of historical inquiry, more books are necessary to illuminate the importance of African studies.
