The Homeland is the ArenaBy Ousmane Oumar Kane, assistant professor of International and Public Affairs at SIPA.
Scholar Ousmane Kane offers an absorbing case study of the growing Senegalese community in New York City. By pulling together numerous aspects of the experience of the Senegalese migrant community into an integrated analysis, The Homeland is the Arena breaks new ground in the debate about postcolonial Senegal, Muslim globalization, and diaspora studies in the United States.
Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World
Rituals and Remembrances
By Mamadou Diouf, Director of the Institute of African Studies and Ifeoma Kiddoe Nwankwo
This unique collection of essays connects nations from across the Atlantic—Senegal, Kenya, Trinidad, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States, among others—highlighting contemporary popular, folkloric, and religious music and dance. By tracking the continuous reframing, revision, and erasure of aural, oral, and corporeal traces, the contributors to Rhythms of the Afro-Atlantic World collectively argue that music and dance are the living evidence of a constant (re)composition and (re)mixing of local sounds and gestures.

Magema Fuze
The Making of a Kholwa Intellectual
By Hlonipha Mokoena, assistant professor of Anthropology
In this book, Hlonipha Mokoena suggests that kholwa identity was fashioned through the practice of bricolage – the cobbling together, in indeterminate and sometimes contradictory ways, of elements from both colonial and indigenous cultures. The amakholwa used the instruments of cultural imperialism, namely petitions, letters, books and newspapers, to create a signature resistance to subjugation and conquest. Writing as an aspirant historian, Magema Fuze’s literary life represents a black intellectual tradition whose potential was not realized

The Homeland Is the Arena: Religion, Transnationalism, and the Integration of Senegalese Immigrants in America
By Ousmane Kane, associate professor of International and Public Affairs
This book addresses the modes of organization of transnational societies in the globalized context, and specifically the role of religion in the experience of migrant communities in Western societies. Ousmane Kane offers a case study of the growing Senegalese community in New York City. By pulling together numerous aspects (religious, ethnic, occupational, gender, generational, socio-economic, and political) of the experience of the Senegalese migrant community into an integrated analysis, linking discussion of both the homeland and host community, this book breaks new ground in the debate about postcolonial Senegal, Muslim globalization and diaspora studies in the United States.

Saviors and Survivors: Darfur, Politics, and the War on Terror
By Mahmood Mamdani, Herbert Lehman Professor of Government
Mahmood Mamdani explains how the conflict in Darfur began as a civil war (1987—89) between nomadic and peasant tribes over fertile land in the south, and how through a series of interventions from other countries, it escalated to a “humanitarian intervention” involving national, regional, and global forces.

The Trouble with the Congo: Local Violence and the Failure of International Peacebuilding
By Séverine Autesserre, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Barnard College
The Trouble with the Congo suggests a new explanation for international peacebuilding failures in civil wars. Local rivalries motivated widespread violence during the Congolese transition from war to peace. However, a dominant peacebuilding culture shaped the intervention strategy in a way that precluded action on local conflicts, ultimately dooming the international efforts.
