State Political Structure and Dynastic Rule | African Studies Series

Transforming the teaching of Black History in schools. In the second part of our African Studies Series, we are joined by Dr. Benedetta Rossi from University College London to explore themes including the growth of empires and state power; the impact of international connections and trade; connections between the growth of state power and the international slave trade; and the maintenance of state power through taxation to fund armies and military power. Dr. Benedetta Rossi is Associate Professor in the History and Anthropology of Africa. Her work focuses on twentieth and nineteenth century African social history, with a predominant focus on slavery and other forms of unfreedom, labour, migration, planned development, and gender. She is currently completing her second book, Slavery and Freedom in Twentieth Century Africa, while also working on a number of collaborative writing and editorial projects on global and comparative slavery with Oxford University Press (UK), Seuil (France), and Bloomsbury (US).
