  • 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.

  • Guinea Bissau: Translating Potential Into Reality
    Citizen-Centered Approaches to State and Market Guinea Bissau: Translating Potential into Reality February 2010 Institute for State Effectiveness 600 New Hampshire Ave NW +1 (202) 298-5959 Suite 900 [email protected] Washington DC 20037 © 2014 1 Guinea Bissau: Translating Potential into Reality February 2010 I. I. Introduction Guinea Bissau is a country with immense, but largely unfulfilled potential. A variety of political and economic factors both within and outside the country are now combining in a way that is producing an open moment of sorts- a point at which deeply divergent futures are possible for Guinea Bissau. The country may have the opportunity to begin to move beyond the political instability of the past and capitalize on progress made in terms of process, governance and management. This would, in turn, allow it to put in place the goals, strategies and tools that could harness its significant assets- human and natural- to generate prosperity and stability in the long-term. Equally, however, the confluence of a number of destabilizing trends- ranging from the continued militarization of politics, a deepening of poverty and the increasing exposure to narco-trafficking- if not addressed quickly and effectively, could push Guinea Bissau into a period of prolonged insecurity. To ensure the probability of the first rather than the second outcome, a new approach is necessary which emphasizes state, market and civil-society building as central aims, based on a coherent understanding of what is feasible in the Bissau Guinean context; a mapping of capabilities; agreement on key priorities; and a movement away from aid dependency.

  • Guinea Cloth’ GEHN Conference, University of Padua, 17-19 November 2005
    ‘Guinea Cloth’ GEHN Conference, University of Padua, 17-19 November 2005 Colleen E. Kriger Department of History University of North Carolina at Greensboro [email protected] ‘Guinea Cloth’: Production and Consumption of Cotton Textiles in West Africa before and during the Atlantic Slave Trade1 ‘Guinea cloth’ is a term conventionally used in reference to plain white, loom-patterned, or piece-dyed cotton textiles that were important commodities in the “hidden half” of the Atlantic slave trade.2 Known also by various names given to different types of these cloths – names such as brawles, capperees, chelloes, hussanees, and pautkas – they were woven in India and shipped to Europe to be re-exported by slave traders to Africa’s Guinea Coast and to the West Indies.3 Then, with the development of industrial production of cotton textiles in Europe, ‘Guinea cloths’ were made there in imitation of the Indian goods. Thus the history of Guinea cloth is a centuries-long and far-reaching one, spanning the rise of Atlantic commerce, its transformation into a trade in slaves from Africa to the Americas, and the transition to industrialized textile manufacture in Europe. A neglected part of this history took place in West Africa, where cotton was grown, spun, and woven well before direct trade with Europeans opened up. When this new era of international trade began, merchants hoping to purchase slaves learned very quickly that the key to success on the Guinea Coast was knowing what particular types of goods would sell in which specific ports. In other words, the tastes and preferences of West African consumers conditioned and mediated the many individual commercial transactions that made up the Guinea trade.

  • Mangi Teus-Teus
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1759-0833.htm Mangi teus-teus Mangi teus-teus Between a Weberian and historical understanding of economic dominance among pious Muslims in francophone West Africa 203 Stephen Wood Received May 2010 Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA Accepted June 2010 Abstract Purpose – The aim of this paper is to explain why the two most pious Muslim groups in West Africa – the Mourides of Senegal and the Pula Futa of Guinea – are also the most economically dominant. Design/methodology/approach – This question has typically been explained using the ideas of Max Weber, who suggests that the capitalist spirit arose because of the personal characteristics created by Calvinism. This paper looks at a Weberian explanation, adopted to Islam, and also an explanation that is rooted in pure political and economic history. Findings – It is concluded that the Weberian explanation is germane to the case of the Mourides in Senegal, but does a poor job explaining the economic dominance of the Pula Futa. By contrast, while the economic and political history is important for the economic rise of the Mourides, it seems to account for almost the entire success of the Pula Futa. Originality/value – These findings are important because they are a reminder of the heterogeneity between both ethnic and religious groups, both in their religious practice and in their economic affairs. The effects of religion, politics, and culture are not uniform for different sects, nations, and ethnic groups. If there is a desire to market to Muslims, develop programs for economic development, or engage in any economic work within Islamic cultures, there is a need to take such heterogeneity into account.
