Social history as it ought to be done These firsthand accounts are frank and often gripping, helping the reader to understand (insofar as it is possible) the depth of suffering caused not so much by the disease itself as by the manifold, and almost entirely unnecessary, social stigma that accompany it.By reinforcing his interviews with documentary evidence from French colonial clinics, leprosariums, and other sources, the author puts his subjects' stories in wider perspective.He even taps into centuries-old Arabic manuscripts for insight into the status and conditions of lepers in pre-colonial Mali. Silla's obvious familiarity with many aspects of Malian society shows through his writing, his references to local language, proverbs, and history.This is the way social histories ought to be done, putting their primary subjects and their own words first whenever possible, making judicious use of historical documents, and keeping theory in the background where it belongs."People Are Not the Same" is one of those rare studies which manages to enlighten without indulging either in obscurantist analysis or oversimplification. ...

Editorial Review Product Description During the past twenty-five years, the scholarly research and applied development work of Michigan State University faculty and students in Mali represents the most significant combined, long-term, and continuing contribution of any group of university faculty in the United States or Europe to the study of Malian society, economy, and politics. The applied nature of much of this work has resulted in a significant number of working papers, reports, and conference presentations. This volume represents a coherent and connected set of essays from one American university with a widely known and highly respected role in African development. While the essays identify and review Mali's unique historical and contemporary path to democracy and development, they also contribute to the advancement of theoretical knowledge about African development. |

Excellent Work - Well Worth the Price.
Brilliant Black African History!!!! The Dynasties, Scholars of the area, African ethnic groups, etc., are well covered.I think the "Tarikh Al-Fettah", should also be translated into English. For those people in the world who still refuse to aknowledge Black African Civilizations, initiatives, and accomplishments, this is a good read. Currently in Mali today there are 15 families that have preserved over 50,000 volumes of African History in that area.There is a current project underway to save these priceless materials.

Editorial Review Product Description Focusing on the period between World War I and 1968, Mann draws on archival research and extensive interviews with surviving Malian veterans of French wars to explore the experiences of the African soldiers. He describes the effects their long absences and infrequent homecomings had on these men and their communities, he considers the veterans’ status within contemporary Malian society, and he examines their efforts to claim recognition and pensions from France. Mann contends that Mali is as much a postslavery society as it is a postcolonial one, and that specific ideas about reciprocity, mutual obligation, and uneven exchange that had developed during the era of slavery remain influential today, informing Malians’ conviction that France owes them a “blood debt” for the military service of African soldiers in French wars. |
