Terence Ranger's Revolt in Southern Rhodesia 1896-97 opened out decades of important debate about religion and violence in the early colonial encounter. This book is its challenging; much awaited sequel at the very cutting edge of postcolonial studies." ―Richard Werbner; Professor of Social Anthropology; University of ManchesterOccupied by humanity for some 40;000 years; the Matopos Hills in Zimbabwe have become the scene of symbolic; ideological; and armed conflict over the last hundred years. Voices from the Rocks is about landscape; religion; conservation; political symbolism; and war in the Matopos Hills―not simply the geography of the National Park there; which is seen by most visitors as a "wild place." Terence Ranger reinstates culture and history into nature.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Clandestine History of the Kovno Jewish Ghetto PoliceBy Myra SklarewThis is a work of critical importance. Sam Schalkowsky; survivor of the Kovno Ghetto; of Kaiserwald; Stutthof Concentration Camp and Magdeburg; eventually found his way to the United States. He spent years translating the Jewish Ghetto Police Records and more years seeing the work into publication. It is a powerful record of the complex relationship between the Ghetto Police; the demands of the Germans; the needs of the Jewish Ghetto Community and the members of the Altestenrat leaders of the Community. It is rare that such a record should have been made in the first place; hidden and actually discovered.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. an enlightening piece of historyBy Mary C.translated and edited by a survivor of the Kovno horror.
