Doudou
Doudou nourrit le désir de se marier, défiant son jeune âge. Lorsqu’il croise Jasmine, la princesse de ses rêves, son être s’enflamme entièrement. Son esprit est envahi par mille pensées amoureuses qui s’emparent peu à peu de son cœur. L’histoire colorée et nostalgique de ce garçon vous invite à embarquer dans une idylle adolescente qui dépoussière les plus purs souvenirs de l’enfance. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Après un parcours riche d’expériences, Hasora B. Diawara, enfant de la Teranga, est naturellement revenu à la littérature. Ayant été bercé et inspiré par les contes africains et arabes, sa seconde publication, "Doudou – Au cœur d’une idylle sénégalaise", est un somptueux hommage à tout ce qu’il a connu et aimé. Le rêve est et demeure le moteur de sa création.

Africa’s Joola Shipwreck
In 2002, a government-owned Senegalese ferry named the Joola capsized in a storm off the coast of The Gambia in a tragedy that killed 1,863 people and left 64 survivors, only one of them female. The Joola caused more human suffering than the Titanic yet no scholarly research to date has explored the political and environmental conditions in which this African crisis occurred. Africa’s Joola Shipwreck: Causes and Consequences of a Humanitarian Disaster investigates the roots of the Joola shipwreck and its consequences for Senegalese people, particularly those living in the rural south. Using three summers of field research in Senegal, Karen Samantha Barton unravels the geographical forces such as migration, colonial cartographies, and geographies of the sea that led to this humanitarian disaster and defined its aftermath. Barton shows how the Sufi tenet of “beautiful optimism” shaped community resilience in the wake of the shipwreck, despite the repercussions the event had on Senegalese society and space.
Muslim Families in Global Senegal
Senegalese Murid migrants have circulated cargo and currency through official and unofficial networks in Africa and the world. Muslim Families in Global Senegal focuses on trade and the transmission of enduring social value though cloth, videos of life-cycle rituals, and religious offerings. Highlighting women's participation in these networks and the financial strategies they rely on, Beth Buggenhagen reveals the deep connections between economic profits and ritual and social authority. Buggenhagen discovers that these strategies are not responses to a dispersed community in crisis, but rather produce new roles, wealth, and worth for Senegalese women in all parts of the globe.

Three months later, Police Commissioner Sensi decides to visit Dr Claps, an old friend and a renowned criminologist, who guesses from his first few words the real reason for the visit.
