- This is a research monograph and a “longer-form output”. It includes 249 pages and approx. 80K words. It was researched over six years in a number of archives in Zambia, Belgium, the UK and Portugal. The book is almost exclusively based on published and unpublished primary sources (especially nineteenth-century travelogues and colonial reports). Drawing on the insights of science and technology studies, it offers a thorough reassessment of the history of firearms in central Africa in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
