1492
The Debate on Colonialism, Eurocenterism, and Historyby J. M. Blaut
The selective rise of Europe began in 1492 and resulted, primordially, from the capital accumulated in colonial activities, mainly in the Americas. The beginnings of colonialism in 1492 resulted from global locational factors, not from any special qualities within European society. Therefore, colonialism explains the unique development of Europe. These are the important and provocative arguments put forward by J. M. Blaut in the principal essays of this book, arguments which can profoundly affect the way we look at the evolution of the Third World, at development and underdevelopment.

A HISTORY OF TIGRINYA LITERATURE IN ERITREA
The Oral and Written 1890-1991Ghirmai Negash
Negash’s continental and international visibility is very clear. He earned this through his monumental work, A History of Tigrinya Literature in Eritrea: The Oral and Written 1890-1991. In the sheer ambition of its historical sweep and the combination of Literature and Orature for its subject, it is groundbreaking while also making an important intellectual intervention in the study of African language literatures. Nothing of this magnitude has been accomplished with the same degree of unapologetic scholarly commitment and respect. In addition to establishing him as the leading scholar of Eritrean literature, it has paved the way for similar scholarship in Africa.

Independence was within close reach. And in Nigeria, it was accepted that it should come quickly. But there was a problem. Nigeria’s minorities, peoples—comprising about 40 per cent of the country’s population—profoundly feared for their future
