{"product_id":"egalitarian-revolution-in-the-savanna-1","title":"Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna","description":"Many West African societies have egalitarian political systems, with non-centralised distributions of power. 'Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna' analyses a wide range of archaeological data to explore the development of such societies. The volume offers a detailed case study of the village settlement of Kirikongo in western Burkina Faso. Over the course of the first millennium, this single homestead extended control over a growing community. The book argues that the decentralization of power in the twelfth century BCE radically transformed this society, changing gender roles, public activities, pottery making and iron-working. 'Egalitarian Revolution in the Savanna' will be of interest to students of political science, anthropology, archaeology and the history of West Africa.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261149598040,"sku":"9781138110632","price":68.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138110632.jpg?v=1769238051","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/egalitarian-revolution-in-the-savanna-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
