Summary

In "Nigeria and its Tin Fields," Albert Frederick Calvert offers a comprehensive exploration of Nigeria's rich mineral wealth, particularly focusing on the burgeoning tin mining industry in the early 20th century. The book intricately weaves together meticulous research and vibrant descriptions, illuminating not only the geological aspects of the tin fields but also their socio-economic impact on local communities. Calvert's observational prowess and vivid prose capture the complexities of colonial industry, revealing the tensions between the exploitation of resources and their implications for indigenous populations within a broader imperial context. Albert Frederick Calvert, an accomplished mining engineer and geologist, was profoundly influenced by his experiences in various mining ventures. His professional background equipped him with the technical acumen required to analyze environmental and economic conditions of Nigeria's tin fields. Furthermore, Calvert's exposure to colonial administration in the region shapes his nuanced perspective on the intersections of industry, culture, and colonialism, effectively recommending the importance of responsible governance in resource management. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the historical dynamics of colonialism, resource extraction, and economic development in Africa. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Calvert's work not only informative but also an insightful examination of the intricate relationships between nature, industry, and society in Nigeria's evolving narrative.

    The Constitutional Bind - How...

    An eye-opening account of how Americans came to revere the Constitution and what this reverence has meant domestically and around the world. 
Some Americans today worry that the Federal Constitution is ill-equipped to respond to mounting democratic threats and may even exacerbate the worst features of American politics. Yet for as long as anyone can remember, the Constitution has occupied a quasi-mythical status in American political culture, which ties ideals of liberty and equality to assumptions about the inherent goodness of the text’s design. The Constitutional Bind explores how a flawed document came to be so glorified and how this has impacted American life. 
In a pathbreaking retelling of the American experience, Aziz Rana shows that today’s reverential constitutional culture is a distinctively twentieth-century phenomenon. Rana connects this widespread idolization to another relatively recent development: the rise of US global dominance. Ultimately, such veneration has had far-reaching consequences: despite offering a unifying language of reform, it has also unleashed an interventionist national security state abroad while undermining the possibility of deeper change at home. 
Revealing how the current constitutional order was forged over the twentieth century, The Constitutional Bind also sheds light on an array of movement activists—in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics—who struggled to imagine different constitutional horizons. As time passed, these voices of opposition were excised from memory. Today, they offer essential insights.
