A discussion of theoretical debates regarding the position of science and technology in global capitalism, with reference to the concrete case study of Africa. Noah Zerbe explores the implications for Africa of the Western concept of global biotechnology and offers the opinion that a fundamentally different model of agricultural research and technology transfer will be necessary to ensure that Africa derives any benefit from adavnces in agricultural technology. Further, he argues, the place where such an alternative is to be found is Africa itself.
Originally published in 1998, Like Men of War was a groundbreaking early study of Black troops in the Civil War that is still considered a major contribution to the literature on the United States Colored Troops (USCT). In this chronological operational history, Trudeau covers every major engagement—and a few minor ones—that the USCT participated in. By quoting generously from primary documents, including Black soldiers’ letters, Trudeau tells the combat history of African American troops in the Civil War largely through the voices of the soldiers themselves. This fresh, expanded second edition adds material on additional engagements and other aspects of Black soldiers’ experiences, and features a new selection of photographs. The updated bibliography is extensive, providing a rich selection of source materials for further study and exploration. Like Men of War is essential reading for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of the U.S. Civil War.
