    Abstract: "One of the first accounts of the politics of geological research in colonial and post-colonial Africa, Ritual Geology models a new regional approach to African history and ethnography centered on geology. Rooted in the goldfields of Senegal, A Ritual Geology carries the reader across the goldfields of Guinea, Mali, Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso from the medieval past into the present-day. Weaving together archival and ethnographic work among geologists, bureaucrats, artisanal miners, politicians, and ritual authorities, Robyn d'Avignon centers African orpailleurs as intellectual actors, upending narratives that treat miners in the global south as workers and victims of land alienation. Across these periods, A Ritual Geology presents sustained accounts of the central role of African mining expertise in geological exploration in colonial and post-colonial Africa and importantly shows the dependence of industrial mining on practices and knowledge developed by African orpailleurs"--

    Abstract: "The Genealogical Imagination comprises two thematically-related books. Though both explore intergenerational transitivity and trauma, they draw on very different empirical sources and discursive techniques. While the first book is based on the author's extensive fieldwork among the Kuranko of Sierra Leone, the second book, which is largely a work of the imagination, draws on episodes from Jackson's family history and fieldwork experiences in Aboriginal Australia"--

    Abstract: In Re-enchanting Modernity Mayfair Yang examines the resurgence of religious and ritual life after decades of enforced secularization in the coastal area of Wenzhou, China. Drawing on twenty-five years of ethnographic fieldwork, Yang shows how the local practices of popular religion, Daoism, and Buddhism are based in community-oriented grassroots organizations that create spaces for relative local autonomy and self-governance. Central to Wenzhou's religious civil society is what Yang calls a "ritual economy," in which an ethos of generosity is expressed through donations to temples, clerics, ritual events, and charities in exchange for spiritual gain. With these investments in transcendent realms, Yang adopts Georges Bataille's notion of "ritual expenditures" to challenge the idea that rural Wenzhou's economic development can be described in terms of Max Weber's notion of a "Protestant Ethic". Instead, Yang suggests that Wenzhou's ritual economy forges an alternate path to capitalist modernity
