  • Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea
    Women, Agency, and the State in Guinea This book examines how women in Guinea articulate themselves politically within and outside institutional politics. It documents the everyday practices that local female actors adopt to deal with the continuous economic, political, and social insecurities that emerge in times of political transformations. Carole Ammann argues that women’s political articulations in Muslim Guinea do not primarily take place within women’s associations or institu- tional politics such as political parties; but instead women’s silent forms of politics manifest in their daily agency, that is, when they make a living, study, marry, meet friends, raise their children, and do household chores. The book also analyses the relationship between the female population and the local authorities, and discusses when and why women’s claim making enjoys legiti- macy in the eyes of other men and women, as well as representatives of ‘tra- ditional’ authorities and the local government. Paying particular attention to intersectional perspectives, this book will be of interest to scholars of African studies, social anthropology, political anthropology, the anthropology of gender, urban anthropology, gender stu- dies, and Islamic studies.

  • A Molecular Study of the Genus Agama (Squamata : Agamidae)
    Russian Journal of Herpetology Vol. 19, No. 2, 2012, pp. 115 – 142 A MOLECULAR STUDY OF THE GENUS Agama (SQUAMATA: AGAMIDAE) IN WEST AFRICA, WITH DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW SPECIES AND A REVIEW OF THE TAXONOMY, GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION, AND ECOLOGY OF CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED SPECIES Oleg Mediannikov,1 Sébastien Trape,2 and Jean-François Trape1,3 Submitted March 25, 2011. We conducted field studies in 15 West African countries and collected one thousand specimens of lizards of the genus Agama. Based on these collections, literature, molecular analysis of selected specimens, and examination of Linnean type-specimens of A. agama, we review the phylogeny, taxonomy, geographic distribution and ecology of the West African species of the genus Agama. Seventeen different species are recognized in the genus Agama in West Africa, northern Cameroon and Chad: A. africana, A. agama, A. boensis, A. boueti, A. boulengeri, A. castroviejoi, A. cristata, A. doriae benueensis, A. gracilimembris, A. insularis, A. lebretoni, A. paragama, A. sankaranica, A. weidholzi, and three new species. We design a lectotype for A. agama (Linnaeus, 1758) and attribute to A. wagneri, sp. nov., the populations from northern and central Cameroon of the A. agama complex. Agama parafricana, sp. nov., is described from wet savanna areas of Togo and Benin. Agama sylvanus from south- ern Ghana is a junior synonym of A. africana. Agama cf. impalearis from northern Niger and Mali corresponds to an nondescribed species. Agama boensis is resurrected from the synonymy of A. sankaranica. According to biogeographic areas, four species are Sahelian, seven species are Sudanian, four species are Guinean, and two species are ubiquitous.

IC NET LIMITED PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of the Republic of Guinea, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a development study on artisanal fisheries development and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). In the 2-year period from March 2000 to June 2003, JICA sent to Guinea three times, a study team lead by Mr. Yasuo Ishimoto from Overseas Agro-Fisheries Consultants Co. Ltd.. The team held discussions with concerned officials from the Government of Guinea, and conducted a field study at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made, and as a result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of the friendly relationship between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the concerned officials of the Government of the Republic of Guinea for their close cooperation extended to the teams.
