Reviews

[Africa in Translation] shines a welcome spotlight on the transnational and national varieties of intellectual imperial scholarship and their role in European colonialism. --Sharon Turkington Burke, European Review of History--Sharon Turkington Burke European Review of History Pugach casts light upon lesser-studied facets of Colonial African history, and makes convincing and logical connections to broader concepts, portraying German Protestant missionaries as influential colonial agents. --Critical Multilingualism Studies --Charles Norton Critical Multilingualism Studies Pugach's book is thoroughly researched, well written, original, and highly interesting. It makes great reading. --Ursula Wokoeck, American Historical Review --Ursula Wokoeck American Historical Review (3/13/2013 12:00:00 AM)
