Memories of Madagascar and Slavery in the Black Atlantic
From the seventeenth century into the nineteenth, thousands of Madagascar’s people were brought to American ports as slaves. In Memories of Madagascar and Slavery in the Black Atlantic, Wendy Wilson-Fall shows that the descendants of these Malagasy slaves in the United States maintained an ethnic identity in ways that those from the areas more commonly feeding the Atlantic slave trade did not. Generations later, hundreds, if not thousands, of African Americans maintain strong identities as Malagasy descendants, yet the histories of Malagasy slaves, sailors, and their descendants have been little explored. Wilson-Fall examines how and why the stories that underlie this identity have been ha...

La société sénégalaise entre le local et le global
Cet ouvrage constitue la première tentative d'envergure pour écrire une histoire sociale et politique du Sénégal depuis l'indépendance. Il complète et renforce les résultats proposés par la même équipe de recherches dans un volume ayant pour titre Le Sénégal contemporain (Karthala, mars 2002). Élaboré par des chercheurs de générations, de spécialités et de nationalités différentes, ce livre suit à la trace et dévoile les dynamiques sociales, politiques et économiques du pays.

For Money and Elders
Many observers of Kenya's complicated history see causes for concern, from the use of public office for private gain to a constitutional structure historically lopsided towards the executive branch. Yet efforts from critics and academics to diagnose the country's problems do not often consider what these fiscal and political issues mean to ordinary Kenyans. How do Kenyans express their own political understanding, make sense of governance, and articulate what they expect from their leaders? In For Money and Elders, Robert W. Blunt addresses these questions by turning to the political, economic, and religious signs in circulation in Kenya today. He examines how Kenyans attempt to make sense o...

In Disparate Measures, Mary Armstrong and Susan Averett challenge the conventional wisdom that a diverse US STEM workforce will bring about economic abundance for the women who participate in it. Combining intersectionality theory an...
