In our latest podcast episode, @mark_deets joins editor @bambaab1 to discuss his featured review of “L’idée de la #Casamance autonome” by @awenengo, and #AcademicFreedom, #contingency, and #politics in #Senegal: Streaming: podbean.com/eas/pb-axcej-1… Review: bit.ly/4n8zHFe

The editors support @awenengo, whose work is being unfairly instrumentalized for political ends: tinyurl.com/26dyp6sv She is a historian not a state agent. Her scholarship underwent rigorous peer-review to be published in this very journal. #OA link: bit.ly/4i9J86r

Toddler just before dinner. Standing on couch - very loud voice Is anyone making sadza in here? Is anyone giving me sadza? (Ummm this African experience is making someone bold. Should we reduce the number of countries we are visiting? Are we safe taking toddler West?)

@MariusKothor @dadakim @bougiesttoast Thanks @dadakim for recommending African Miracle, African Mirage. Sorry I am responding only now. It’s been a long AY. Two other shorter pieces might be of interest: “At the edge of the Modern”+ “Courting American Capital”

@dadakim @bougiesttoast @bambaab1 Oh thanks! this is an excellent recommendation for so many reasons. I can’t believe I missed this when I came out!

Hi friends who write about African history, have you encountered any works that talk about how African governments tried to shape their image in the American press in the Cold War era? Would appreciate any suggestions you have!

Unpopular opinion: nectarines > peaches. (But I still ❤️ Georgia)

Lmaoo, @michaelharriot's hilarious play-by-play of the "double murder of two profs who were ambushed by a gang of facts" is a delight to read. theroot.com/black-news-cha…
