@Akandijack_cHb @AnsoumanaDasyl2 @PR_Diomaye @SonkoOfficiel @GeneralJBTine @GuyMariusSagna Cest une democracie, nest-ce pas?

@Akandijack_cHb @awenengo @KarthalaEdition Merci, @Akandijack

@Akandijack_cHb @awenengo @KarthalaEdition L'ouvrage de Philippe Meguelle dont le titre est suffisamment explicite puisqu'il convient de s'arrêter là.

[Céline Labrune Badiane @CLabruneBadiane]

@Akandijack_cHb @awenengo @KarthalaEdition J'ajoute le classique livre de Christian Roche qui rend compte du processus tardif et difficile de colonisation de la Casamance et suggère ainsi les dynamiques historiques singulières qui en ont decoulé. @KarthalaEdition

[Akandijack Badji-Ba-Sène @Akandijack_cHb]

Vous voulez connaître l'histoire de la Casamance, ce n' est pas que @awenengo "L'Idée de la Casamance autonome" avec @KarthalaEdition (qui obtient d'ailleurs une "systémique" promotion). Waow, tout le monde le veut et vivement le format e-book @KarthalaEdition 🫡

Mais sinon, il y a aussi d'excellentes recherches comme ...

@CLabruneBadiane “Le pari de l’école. Une histoire de l’institution scolaire en Casamance (1860-1960)”, 2022 @HemispheresEdit

@mark_deets "A Country of Defiance.
Mapping the Casamance in Senegal" @OhioUnivPress

#RenéCapainBassene "Casamance. Récits d'un conflit oublié (1982-2014)" avec @HarmattanParis

En ce 21e S. on ne peut pas interdire un livre, même pas "Pétrole et gaz au Sénégal: chronique d'une spoliation" dont j'ai failli être l'éditeur 🫵🏾
Vive les historienNEs ...

SEM @PR_Diomaye Moy PM @SonkoOfficiel

Had a great conversation with Fatima Seck on the podcast "Conversations in Atlantic Theory" about my new book, "A Country of Defiance," published by Ohio University Press. Fatima asked informed and thoughtful questions about the book. Thanks, Fatima!

I enjoyed speaking one more time with Sarwar Kashmeri about China in Africa on Polaris-Live.

I think that my fellow academics and I have a lot more to worry about with this quickly developing AI than we do with Zoom classrooms.
