The end of the 20th century was a time of post-colonial repentance in the Western world. On 23rd February 2005, a law was passed in France, stressing “the positive role of the French presence overseas”, triggering considerable controversy. However, the fascinating history of the French missionary Eugène Casalis illustrates that there are some cases where “the French presence overseas” is still perceived positively, as shown by the commemorative stamps issued by the Kingdom of Lesotho in 1983, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the first French missionaries in the country. Of course, the context was unique since France had no economic or political stakes in that part of the world, and therefore the French missionary presence was totally apostolic and disinterested. Eugène Casalis was born in Béarn at the foot of the Pyrénées in 1812, and remained deeply attached to his native land throughout his life. In 1832, he was sent to Southern Africa by the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society. Unexpected circumstances led him to Basutoland, present-day Lesotho, where he struck up an unfailing friendship, based on mutual trust and esteem, with the Sotho King Moshoeshoe. In addition to his missionary task, Casalis transcribed the language and contributed largely to the economic development of the country, while concurrently supporting the King in his efforts to convince the British to help him fight Boer expansionism. He gave invaluable diplomatic aid and advice to the King during the 23 years he spent in the country. Back in France in 1855, he became the director of the House of Missions where he trained a number of young men to become missionaries. His eldest son became a missionary to Lesotho and his eldest daughter married a missionary with whom she returned to Lesotho where she brought up a large family. All this has contributed to making the name of Casalis well-known in the Kingdom to this day. To a certain extent, Lesotho's accession to independence in 1966 can be perceived as a distant result of Casalis's work. The present King, Letsie 111, is a direct descendant of King Moshoeshoe.

Among the many myths created about Africa, the claim that homosexuality and gender diversity are absent or incidental is one of the oldest and most enduring. Historians, anthropologists, and many contemporary Africans alike have denied or overlooked African same-sex patterns or claimed that such patterns were introduced by Europeans or Arabs. In fact, same-sex love and nonbinary genders were and are widespread in Africa. Boy-Wives and Female Husbands documents the presence of this diversity in some fifty societies in every region of the continent south of the Sahara. Essays by scholars from a variety of disciplines explore institutionalized marriages between women, same-sex relations between men and boys in colonial work settings, mixed gender roles in east and west Africa, and the emergence of LGBTQ activism in South Africa, which became the first nation in the world to constitutionally ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Also included are oral histories, folklore, and translations of early ethnographic reports by German and French observers. Boy-Wives and Female Husbands was the first serious study of same-sex sexuality and gender diversity in Africa, and this edition includes a new foreword by Marc Epprecht that underscores the significance of the book for a new generation of African scholars, as well as reflections on the book's genesis by the late Stephen O. Murray. This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to the generous support of the Murray Hong Family Trust.

As a result of his inquiry into the nature of class, culture, and the state, Antonio Gramsci became one of the most influential Marxist theorists. Hegemony and Revolution is the first full-fledged study of Gramsci's Prison Notebooks in the light of his pre-prison career as a socialist and communist militant and a highly original Marxist intellectual. Walter Adamson shows how Gramsci's concepts of revolution grew out of his experience with the Turin worker councils of 1919-1920 as well as his experience combatting the Fascist movement.For Gramsci, revolution meant the steady ascension of a mass-based, educated, and organized "collective will," in which the final seizure of power would be the climax of a broader educative process. Success depended on countering not just the coercive power of the existing economic and political order but also the cultural hegemony of the state. A "counter-hegemony" for Gramsci required the leadership of an organized political party, but at its core lay his conviction that the common people were capable of self-enlightenment and could produce an alternative conception of the world that challenged the prevailing hegemonic culture.Adamson shows how these ideas, which Gramsci developed prior to his imprisonment, led him to a highly original concept of "subaltern" class movements that cohere not just on the basis of economic interest but by virtue of religious, ideological, regional, folkloric, and other sorts of cultural ties as well. These ideas of Gramsci have had enormous influence on a wide variety of subsequent cultural theories including postcolonialism and Foucault-style analyses of discursive practices.
