For far too long, the Western world viewed Africa as unmappable
terrain--a repository for outsiders' wildest imaginings. This
problematic notion has had lingering effects not only on popular
impressions of the region but also on the development of the
academic study of Africa. Critical Terms for the Study of Africa
considers the legacies that have shaped our understanding of the
continent and its place within the conceptual grammar of
contemporary world affairs. Written by a distinguished group of
scholars, the essays compiled in this volume take stock of African
studies today and look toward a future beyond its fraught
intellectual and political past. Each essay discusses one of our
most critical terms for talking about Africa, exploring the
trajectory of its development while pushing its boundaries. Editors
Gaurav Desai and Adeline Masquelier balance the choice of
twenty-five terms between the expected and the unexpected, calling
for nothing short of a new mapping of the scholarly field. The
result is an essential reference that will challenge assumptions,
stimulate lively debate, and make the past, present, and future of
African Studies accessible to students and teachers alike.
