Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1962 Norbert Elias was invited as a temporary professor at the University of Ghana in Legon, Accra. He taught, employed fieldwork, travelled, and met many people in postcolonial Africa. When Elias left Ghana in 1964, he had laid the basic groundwork for a fundamental sociological argument on human societies.The volume on hand is a selection of his unpublished writings based on these experiences. Together they touch upon not only the well-known criticism of Eurocentrism and a developmental perspective but also what could be considered the core of Eliass work: the concept of civilisation. In a foreword, Dieter Reicher and Adrian Jitschin have endeavoured to explain and break down the relations of Eliass African experience to the rest of his work and biography. They also clarified some misleading interpretations of Eliass time in Africa. Finally, Arjan Post has uncovered the previously unknown fascinating story of Elias encounter with Malcolm X in an epilogue. In 1962 Norbert Elias was invited as a temporary professor at the University of Ghana in Legon, Accra.
