Tillfälligt slut

This collection of meditations reformulates the experience of African studies as a concern with three thematics: Africa’s place within today’s intellectual, economic and cultural configurations; the main axes that structure disciplinary practices concerned with African difference; and the possibility of understanding being-in-the-world with reference to alienation, creativity and friendship.
