L'ouvrage de Philippe Meguelle dont le titre est suffisamment explicite puisqu'il convient de s'arrêter là.

J'ajoute le classique livre de Christian Roche qui rend compte du processus tardif et difficile de colonisation de la Casamance et suggère ainsi les dynamiques historiques singulières qui en ont decoulé. @KarthalaEdition

Vous voulez connaître l'histoire de la Casamance, ce n' est pas que @awenengo "L'Idée de la Casamance autonome" avec @KarthalaEdition (qui obtient d'ailleurs une "systémique" promotion). Waow, tout le monde le veut et vivement le format e-book @KarthalaEdition 🫡 Mais sinon, il y a aussi d'excellentes recherches comme ... @CLabruneBadiane “Le pari de l’école. Une histoire de l’institution scolaire en Casamance (1860-1960)”, 2022 @HemispheresEdit @mark_deets "A Country of Defiance. Mapping the Casamance in Senegal" @OhioUnivPress #RenéCapainBassene "Casamance. Récits d'un conflit oublié (1982-2014)" avec @HarmattanParis En ce 21e S. on ne peut pas interdire un livre, même pas "Pétrole et gaz au Sénégal: chronique d'une spoliation" dont j'ai failli être l'éditeur 🫵🏾 Vive les historienNEs ... SEM @PR_Diomaye Moy PM @SonkoOfficiel Yep yep yep fire 🔥

podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR… Had a great conversation with Fatima Seck on the podcast "Conversations in Atlantic Theory" about my new book, "A Country of Defiance," published by Ohio University Press. Fatima asked informed and thoughtful questions about the book. Thanks, Fatima!

Excited for the work of @jpketterer and his outstanding staff at the @AUC_SCE to give more Egyptians the opportunity to learn English and pursue higher education degrees. Great work, Jim!

So, this is what I'll be doing tonight... The Lost Legacy of Bida Bikini explores the ancient techniques of glassmaking by the Masagá community of glassmakers in Bida, Nigeria, who migrated from Egypt into sub-Saharan Africa over 200 years ago.
