Addressing the consequences of European slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism on African history, knowledge and its institutions, this innovative book applies autoethnography to the understanding of African knowledge systems. Considering the 'Self' and Yoruba Being (the individual and the collective) in the context of the African decolonial project, Falola strips away Eurocentric influences and interruptions from African epistemology. Avoiding colonial archival sources, it grounds itself in alternative archives created by memory, spoken words, images and photographs to look at the themes of politics, culture, nation, ethnicity, satire, poetics, magic, myth, metaphor, sculpture, textiles, hair and gender. Vividly illustrated in colour, it uses diverse and novel methods to access an African way of knowing. Exploring the different ways that a society understands and presents itself, this book highlights convergence, enmeshing private and public data to provide a comprehensive understanding of society, public consciousness, and cultural identity.

Basque is a language of central importance to linguists because it is a 'language isolate,' a rare type of language that is typologically 'alone' and cannot be classified as a part of any language family. Language isolates remain somewhat a mystery, and this book aims to provide an important piece of the puzzle, by both exploring the structure of Basque and shedding new light on its unique place within the languages of the world. It meticulously examines various properties of Basque, including the alignment of intransitive verbs, the introduction of dative arguments, the nature of psych predicates, the causative/inchoative alternation, impersonals, and morphological causatives. By doing so, it presents a comprehensive overview of Basque's intricacies within the realm of argument structure alternations and voice. In its final chapter, it provides an introduction to potential formal analyses of the topics discussed, paving the way for future research in the field. This title is part of the Flip it Open programme and may also be available open access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

"In 2002, decades into the country's civil war, the Colombian government initiated elite-financed security taxes equivalent to an additional one percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP)-a major achievement in a region notorious for stagnant tax-to-GDP ratios (Everest-Philips 2010).2 More surprising than the sharp increase in yearly tax revenue is that the government did so by extracting from the wealthiest taxpayers and that these taxpayers evsupported the tax. Charles Tilly (2009, xiii) observed that taxation, "constitutes the largest intervention of governments in their subjects' private life." Colombia's government not only generated this revenue, but did so from the best politically-connected echelon of society, a group that has historically been able to resist taxation (Atria 2015; Bogliaccini and Luna 2016; Centeno 1997; 2002; Fairfield 2015; Kurtz 2009; 2013; Saylor 2014; Soifer 2009; 2015; Schneider 2012)"--
