Scholars have long recognized that ethnographic method is bound up with the construction of theory in ways that are difficult to teach. The reason, Allaine Cerwonka and Liisa H. Malkki argue, is that ethnographic theorization is essentially improvisatory in nature, conducted in real time and in necessarily unpredictable social situations. In a unique account of, and critical reflection on, the process of theoretical improvisation in ethnographic research, they demonstrate how both objects of analysis, and our ways of knowing and explaining them, are created and discovered in the give and take

This volume includes electoral studies of multi-party politics in 14 African countries during the 1990s. Most are about national elections in Anglophone Africa. There are also less well-known examples from Sudan, Ethiopia, and Guinea Bissau. The collection is enriched by studies of local elections in Namibia and of a significant by-election in Malawi. The multi-party period has been put, wherever possible, within the historical context of earlier elections in Africa.

The Baltic and North Seas are great seafaring regions with rich and varied histories, intricately linked by maritime trade for centuries. Drawing on the enormous variety of maritime experience in the region, this book challenges the assertion that there was a common maritime culture on the shores of these northern seas. In a region suffering tortuous extremes of climate, the rich and varied history is a consequence of the enormous adaptability of its peoples.Commencing with the end of the Ice Age, The Baltic and North Seas includes coverage of the power struggles of the region from the early
