Histoire des Fohobélé de Côte d'Ivoire
La recherche historique en Côte d'Ivoire (Afrique de l'Ouest) est, de nos jours, essentiellement axée sur l'histoire du peuplement. Elle vise ainsi trois objectifs fondamentaux : extirper l'histoire générale des peuples d'Afrique des légendes et des conclusions hâtives des études coloniales, établir le processus d'occupation de l'espace et dégager les repères identitaires pour les générations présentes, souvent désemparées par la modernité. Le présent ouvrage Histoire des Fohobélé de Côte d'Ivoire, une population sénoufo inconnue se situe dans cette démarche. En faisant une large place à la collecte et à la critique historique des sources orales, écrites et matériel...
African American Literature of the Twenty-First Century and the Black Arts
For nearly 50 years, a trend in African American literary history quarantined the Black Arts era of the 1960s and 1970s, separating it from the brilliantly creative and aesthetically experimental writing that took off in the 1980s.

It is also the first to use declassified court records regarding colonialist attempts to classify and categorize traditional marriage conventions in the southern region of the country. In French Sudan, as elsewhere in colonial Africa, the first stage o...
Griot Potters of the Folona
Griot Potters of the Folona reconstructs the past of a particular group of West African women potters using evidence found in their artistry and techniques. The potters of the Folona region of southeastern Mali serve a diverse clientele and firing thousands of pots weekly during the height of the dry season. Although they identify themselves as Mande, the unique styles and types of objects the Folona women make, and more importantly, the way they form and fire them, are fundamentally different from Mande potters to the north and west. Through a brilliant comparative analysis of pottery production methods across the region, especially how the pots are formed and the way the techniques are tau...
