Con il termine arabo “sahel” – letteralmente “bordo del deserto” – s’intende quella fascia di territorio africano che attraversa orizzontalmente tutto il continente, fungendo da area di passaggio tra l’arido deserto del Sahara a Nord e la fertile savana arborata a Sud. Secondo Jean-Loup Amselle, tra i massimi antropologi contemporanei, a questa categoria geografica è stata associata una questione socio-culturale e politica del tutto arbitraria: il Sahel non esiste e nasce esclusivamente all’interno del contesto coloniale francese. Un tempo il territorio era attraversato dagli imperi Ghana, Mali e Songhai, che mettevano in comunicazione l’Africa subsahariana con le coste del Mediterraneo. Sulle rotte commerciali di Timbuctù, Djenné e Kong viaggiavano le carovane che trasportavano l’oro in Europa e gli schiavi in direzione del mondo arabo-musulmano. A questo asse Nord-Sud, con la colonizzazione francese del continente africano, se ne sovrappose un altro da Oriente a Occidente. Secondo Jean-Loup Amselle, è proprio a questa cesura storica, politica e culturale che vanno imputati i problemi che interessano oggi il Sahel e tutto il continente africano.

Alfred Métraux è stato uno degli antropologi più significativi del Novecento. Il suo sguardo, condizionato dall’ossessione della perdita, lo ha indotto a un’“etnografia del salvataggio” mirata a fissare memoria, storia, lingua e religione di popolazioni e società indigene destinate alla sparizione, o all’omologazione, per effetto dell’incontro con la cultura occidentale. Tra i suoi studi più importanti spiccano quelli sulle popolazioni indiane del Sud-america, sulla civilizzazione dell’Isola di Pasqua e sul vudù a Haiti. Nel Secondo dopoguerra ha lavorato alle Nazioni Unite e all’Unesco, occupandosi di scienze sociali e contrasto al razzismo, oltre che di progetti educativi e di sviluppo in veste di antropologo applicato. Lo studioso Métraux, però, non è stato altro dall’uomo Métraux, segnato da una sofferenza psicologica che lo avrebbe accompagnato sino alla tragica fine. Nel colto e dilaniato etnologo, formatosi alla scuola di Mauss e Rivet, opere e vita sono più che mai intrecciate.

L’autrice racconta in prima persona luoghi, incontri e modalità di lavoro sperimentate nel corso degli anni in diverse località di montagna, ma anche di come gli abitanti di quei luoghi hanno saputo rispondere ai cambiamenti e alle conseguenti sfide legate alle trasformazioni globali e ai nuovi bisogni della loro terra. In questo viaggio, la scrittura autobiografica si intreccia con ciò che la montagna e i suoi abitanti possono insegnare in un momento in cui le questioni ambientali, oltre a quelle sociali ed economiche, ci pongono di fronte a scelte che riguardano la nostra stessa sopravvivenza.

Un tempo si riteneva che le società native, o tribali, fossero destinate a scomparire a causa di inarrestabili forze economiche e politiche che prima o poi avrebbero completato il lavoro di distruzione avviato dai contatti interculturali e dal colonialismo. La realtà odierna dimostra invece che molti gruppi aborigeni continuano a resistere, rendendo così più complesse le classiche narrazioni della modernizzazione e del progresso. Prendendo in esame i popoli nativi di California, Alaska e Oceania, James Clifford prova come questi siano parte attiva di un processo di trasformazione ancora in atto che implicherebbe una lotta ambivalente dentro e contro forme dominanti d’identità culturale e di potere politico. Spesso contro ogni previsione, i popoli indigeni stanno infatti costruendo con creatività e pragmatismo percorsi identitari originali all’interno di una modernità intricata e indefinita.

Under what conditions is anthropology possible today, when a crisis of social meaning—a crisis that makes it more difficult to conceive and manage our relation to the other—makes the need for anthropology appear more clearly than ever before? This book sets forth at least the beginning of an answer to this question. The volume’s title combines a singular noun, anthropology, with a plural one, contemporaneous worlds. It aims to register the double movement of universalization and particularization that is simultaneously affecting the entire planet. Social anthropology has always taken into account the context of the groups and phenomena it studied. Today, while multiplicity is being maintained or, more precisely, renewed, that context has become, in all cases, planetary. Positioned in opposition not only to political theories of universalization and uniformization more or less tied to the theme of “the end of history,” but also to “postmodernist” versions of anthropological theories of multiplicity and relativism, the author argues that social anthropology, through its self-critical tradition, is fully capable of adapting to the accelerated change that is continuously recomposing relations between universalism and particularisms. It is for social anthropology to select, analyze, and understand the new modes of sociality and the new spaces in which (not without calamities and contradictions) these utterly new recompositions, a major aspect of our contemporary world, manifest themselves.

George Louis Beer Prize Winner Wallace K. Ferguson Prize Finalist A Marginal Revolution Book of the Year “A groundbreaking contribution...Intellectual history at its best.” —Stephen Wertheim, Foreign Affairs Neoliberals hate the state. Or do they? In the first intellectual history of neoliberal globalism, Quinn Slobodian follows a group of thinkers from the ashes of the Habsburg Empire to the creation of the World Trade Organization to show that neoliberalism emerged less to shrink government and abolish regulations than to redeploy them at a global level. It was a project that changed the world, but was also undermined time and again by the relentless change and social injustice that accompanied it. “Slobodian’s lucidly written intellectual history traces the ideas of a group of Western thinkers who sought to create, against a backdrop of anarchy, globally applicable economic rules. Their attempt, it turns out, succeeded all too well.” —Pankaj Mishra, Bloomberg Opinion “Fascinating, innovative...Slobodian has underlined the profound conservatism of the first generation of neoliberals and their fundamental hostility to democracy.” —Adam Tooze, Dissent “The definitive history of neoliberalism as a political project.” —Boston Review

This anthology deals with the complexity, variety and experience of all the forms of mobility we witness today in Sub-Saharan Africa. Three sets of issues are being discussed. First, the concept of mobility itself is considered and how it is conceived of in distinction from sedentarity. Second, which forms of mobility can be distinguished, not only from the perspective of Western social sciences, but also from the perspective of people's own experiences, ideas, notions, etc? Social science in Africa has particularly focused on rural-urban migration, but it is clear that there are many other forms as well. Third, the concept of mobility concerns not only geographical space, but there are other 'spaces' to consider as well. In addition to 'forms of mobility' there is a 'mobility of forms' in which the perception of those other spaces plays a crucial role. In short, the book intends to turn the whole notion of mobility as a supposedly rupturing phenomenon on its head, emphasizing that rather through travelling connections are established and continuity is experienced. We are challenged to delve into the traveller's mind, to think and follow their multi-spatial livelihoods and to explore what it means to people if they move in a variety of spaces.

From its beginnings in 1930s Jamaica, the Rastafarian movement has become a global presence. While the existing studies of the Rastafarian movement have primarily focused on its cultural expression through reggae music, art, and iconography, Monique A. Bedasse argues that repatriation to Africa represents the most important vehicle of Rastafari's international growth. Shifting the scholarship on repatriation from Ethiopia to Tanzania, Bedasse foregrounds Rastafari's enduring connection to black radical politics and establishes Tanzania as a critical site to explore gender, religion, race, citizenship, socialism, and nation. Beyond her engagement with how the Rastafarian idea of Africa translated into a lived reality, she demonstrates how Tanzanian state and nonstate actors not only validated the Rastafarian idea of diaspora but were also crucial to defining the parameters of Pan-Africanism. Based on previously undiscovered oral and written sources from Tanzania, Jamaica, England, the United States, and Trinidad, Bedasse uncovers a vast and varied transnational network--including Julius Nyerere, Michael Manley, and C. L. R James--revealing Rastafari's entrenchment in the making of Pan-Africanism in the postindependence period.

A term with myriad associations, revolution is commonly understood in its intellectual, historical, and sociopolitical contexts. Until now, almost no attention has been paid to revolution and questions of geography. Geography and Revolution examines the ways that place and space matter in a variety of revolutionary situations. David N. Livingstone and Charles W. J. Withers assemble a set of essays that are themselves revolutionary in uncovering not only the geography of revolutions but the role of geography in revolutions. Here, scientific revolutions—Copernican, Newtonian, and Darwinian—ordinarily thought of as placeless, are revealed to be rooted in specific sites and spaces. Technical revolutions—the advent of print, time-keeping, and photography—emerge as inventions that transformed the world's order without homogenizing it. Political revolutions—in France, England, Germany, and the United States—are notable for their debates on the nature of political institutions and national identity. Gathering insight from geographers, historians, and historians of science, Geography and Revolution is an invitation to take the where as seriously as the who and the when in examining the nature, shape, and location of revolutions.
