Paperback. Condizione: New. African Studies Association Women's Caucus's Aidoo-Snyder Book Prize winnerA Choice Outstanding Academic TitleThe monumental palace of Kano, Nigeria, was built circa 1500 and is today inhabited by more than one thousand persons. Historically, its secluded interior housed hundreds of concubines whose role in the politics, economics, and culture of Kano city-state has been largely overlooked. In this pioneering work, Heidi J. Nast demonstrates how human-geographical methods can tell us much about a site like the palace, a place bereft of archaeological work or relevant primary sources.Drawing on extensive ethnographic work and mapping data, Concubines and Power presents new evidence that palace concubines controlled the production of indigo-dyed cloth centuries before men did. The women were also key players in the assessment and collection of the state's earliest grain taxes, forming a complex and powerful administrative hierarchy that used the taxes for palace community needs. In addition, royal concubines served as representatives of their places of origin, their freeborn children providing the king with additional human capital to cement territorial alliances through marriage.Social forces undoubtedly shaped and changed concubinage for hundreds of years, but Nast shows how the women's reach extended far beyond the palace walls to the formation of the state itself.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. List price Amazon - $240.00. "What does it mean to say that places and bodies make one another? How is it that bodies come to be crafted and given meaning through places? This innovative collection calls upon some of the most creative and respected thinkers in a wide range of disciplines and professions to address such questions. Here geographers, architects, anthropologists, artists, film theorists, theorists of cultural studies and psycho-analysis, among others, work alongside each other to show how places through the body take shape at a variety of scales. Places Through the Body draws on a wide range of contemporary examples and creative ideas to address such topics as: how racist ideologies are embedded in modern architectural discourse and practice; how urban spaces make bodies disabled; how the seemingly virtual worlds of knowledge and technology are embodied; how gyms enable women body builders to make new kinds of bodies; how male bodies are placed onto the silver screen and new kinds of femininity.
