Islamization from Below
The colonial era in Africa, spanning less than a century, ushered in a more rapid expansion of Islam than at any time during the previous thousand years. In this groundbreaking historical investigation, Brian J. Peterson considers for the first time how and why rural peoples in West Africa "became Muslim" under French colonialism.Peterson rejects conventional interpretations that emphasize the roles of states, jihads, and elites in "converting" people, arguing instead that the expansion of Islam owed its success to the mobility of thousands of rural people who gradually, and usually peacefully, adopted the new religion on their own. Based on extensive fieldwork in villages across southern Mali (formerly French Sudan) and on archival research in West Africa and France, the book draws a detailed new portrait of grassroots, multi-generational processes of Islamization in French Sudan while also deepening our understanding of the impact and unintended consequences of colonialism.

Long-Distance Nationalism in the Global City
Focusing on migration within the global south, Bennett Eason Cross uses the example of the Malian trade diaspora in Lagos to argue that aspects of the original model of the transmigrant were based on labor migrations from global south to global north that are not representative of their south-to-south counterparts. In Long-Distance Nationalism in the Global City: A Cultural History of the Malian Diaspora in Lagos, Nigeria, Cross notes that the cultural and racial differences between migrant communities and their host societies in Europe and the U.S. are often narrower, or even nonexistent, in south-to-south migrations, which shapes different outcomes. As this multi-site case study reveals, h...

Chroniques amoureuses au Mali
Baba : Depuis que je suis arrivé, chaque soir, une jeune fille vient chez moi, je lui donne mille francs pour faire du thé. Comme l'argent, je ne le fabrique pas, c'est forcé que je me retrouve sans rien ! Adama : En tout cas, quand les autres jeunes comme toi rentrent de voyage, à moins d'aller chez eux dans leur chambre, nous qui ne sommes pas partis, nous ne trouvons plus aucune fille disponible pour nous, on ne les intéresse plus tant qu'elles n'ont pas fini de faire dépenser leur argent à ceux qui reviennent de voyage. Fifi : Pourquoi vous, les hommes, vous introduisez toujours l'argent dans les relations avec les femmes ? De la même façon que les hommes aiment faire l'amour av...
Démocratie et droit constitutionnel dans les pays francophones d'Afrique noire
L'historicité des sociétés africaines précoloniales sous-tendait sans nul doute l'existence effective des structures étatiques des institutions politiques et des textes constitutionnels. Le constitutionnalisme africain précolonial fut brutalement interrompu par la colonisation qui bouleversa totalement l'ordre des choses. Le Mali a connu de brillantes civilisations au sein des grands empires (Ghana, Mali, Songhoi) au rayonnement international connu. Trois Républiques se sont succédées au Mali, de l'Indépendance (1960) à nos jours : la Première République de 1960 à 1968, la Deuxième République de 1974 à 1991 et la troisième République depuis 1992. L'étude comparative au sein de l'Afrique noire francophone des institutions permet de mettre en exergue à la fois les similitudes et les particularités du parcours institutionnel et politique du Mali depuis 1960. La trajectoire politique et institutionnelle du Mali depuis 1960 est analysée ici sans complaisance et avec rigueur. Un accent particulier est mis sur les grandes étapes de la démocratie pluraliste et la justice constitutionnelle.
