Edwards Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology September 2012 Title: The Social Life of Wild-Things: Negotiated Wildlife in Mali, West Africa Two markets located in Bamako, Mali, West Africa specialize in the commodification of wildlife, and in so doing contest western-centric notions of globalization. Founded in traditional medicine, the Marabagaw Yoro sells wildlife to serve the needs of the local community, while the Artisana, a state sponsored institution, manufactures fashion accoutrements from wildlife and is oriented towards meeting the demands of tourists. Actors in both markets effectively curb the impact of national and international forces and demonstrate the necessity of putting local-global relations at the heart of transnational studies.

To you all, I am forever grateful. I am deeply indebted and thankful to my advisor, Jeff Groff. His patient advice, unwavering encouragement, and commitment to helping me tell this story, shaped this thesis from its inception. I must also express my deepest gratitude to my good friends Jim and Silvya Wear, who taught me everything I know about leather as a material and leatherwork. Jim once wrote in the first book he gave me, “There is nothing new in leatherwork, only things that have been forgotten and rediscovered.” It is with this wisdom that I have approached this thesis and my education at Winterthur. My sincerest thanks to the Scott LaFrance Graduate Research Scholarship.
