DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn addition, the collapse of the gum market and Bordeaux merchants' restructuring of the colonial economy towards the peanut basin led to a period of financial insecurity for the métis elite and the rise of Muslim Saint-Louis traders who became the dominant intermediaries 1. [...] Trans-Saharan trade, the influence of Sufism and the presence of Sanhaja Berbers in the Western Sahara led to the gradual expansion of Islam among Bidan of the north bank of the Senegal and the Wolof, Pulaar and Soninke peoples of the south bank of the Senegal River. [...] The mayor served as the officer of the civil state legitimizing the union and any children issuing from the union in the eyes of the French state. [...] In addition to the expansion of French colonial rule in the mid-nineteenth century, the growth of Islam in the Senegal River valley helped to consolidate group identity for the métis elite. [...] In assuming positions of power in the local assemblies established in Senegal by Third Republic France in the 1870s, the métis elite argued that they held specific knowledge of the local environment and relied on a network of kin and clients that reached into the frontier of French expansion in the country.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book presents a unique combination of the study of contemporary and historical practices between Asia and Europe and brings forth some of the latest thinking on the subject. Recent debates have centered primarily on contemporary aspects of the Europe-Asia partnership in terms of international relations and economic linkages. The present volume complements this political and economic interest in Europe-Asia relationship by focusing on the academic, social and cultural connections between the two regions. The contributions in this volume have a contemporary focus but contextualize the themes within a historical perspective. They deal with academic discourses on the region, on modernity and entrepreneurship; they discuss the long-term exchange of knowledge in specific scientific fields; and they focus on the cultural interconnections in the area of film, literature and migration. The originality of this book lies in its interdisciplinary approach to the question of Asia-Europe and in its emphasis on the multifaceted complexity of the relationship between these two regions. It brings together the diversity of local histories, ideas, and agencies in both Europe and Asia into a universal project of knowledge formation in order to reveal their contribution to the making of the world we are in.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Senegalese author’s prize-winning novel explores brutality and resistance in a fictional North African city gripped by a fundamentalist regime. Under the regime of the so-called Brotherhood, two young people are publicly executed for having loved each other. In response, their mothers begin a secret correspondence, their only outlet for the grief they share. Spurred by The Brotherhood’s escalating brutality, a band of intellectuals seeks to foment rebellion by publishing an underground newspaper. Menawhile, the regime’s leader undertakes a personal crusade to find the responsible parties, and bring them to his own sense of justice. In Brotherhood, Mbougar Sarr explores how resistance and heroism can often give way to cowardice, all while giving voice to the personal struggles of each of his characters as they try to salvage the values they hold most dear. Winner of the French Voices Grand Prize, Prix Ahmadou Kourouma, and Grand Prix du Roman Métis
