When Stephen Ellis died in July 2015, African Studies lost one of
its most prolific, provocative and celebrated scholars. Given the
scale and uniqueness of his contribution, it is perhaps surprising
that a collection of his writings did not appear during his
lifetime. It is now possible to bring such a volume to the public.
With an introduction by Tim Kelsall and an afterword by
Jean-Francois Bayart, this collection aims to provide scholars and
students with an introduction to the main themes in Ellis' work.
These revolved around the roles of religion, criminality and
violence in African society and politics -- preoccupations that
also informed his interpretation of African rebellions and
resistance movements. The volume spans more than three decades of
scholarship; case studies from six countries; highly-cited and
lesser-known articles; and a sampling of works intended for public
engagement as well as an academic audience. It will serve as a
reader for African Politics and History, and as an invitation to
students to delve deeper into Stephen Ellis' oeuvre.
