How does anxiety impact narratives about African history, culture,
and society? This volume demonstrates the richness of anxiety as an
analytical lens within African studies. Contributors call attention
to ways of thinking about African spaces--physical, visceral,
somatic, and imagined--as well as about time and temporality.
Through a multidisciplinary approach, the volume also brings
histories of anxiety in colonial settings into conversation with
work on the so-called negative emotions in disciplines beyond
history. While anxiety has long been acknowledged for its ability
to unsettle colonial narratives, to reveal the vulnerability of the
colonial enterprise, this volume shows it can equally complicate
contemporary narratives, such as those of sustainable development,
migration, sexuality, and democracy. These essays therefore
highlight the need to take emotions seriously as contemporary
realities with particular histories that must be carefully mapped
out.
