Recenzii
'Precisely what it means to be Hausa and whether Hausa speakers compose a specific ethnic group has long been a vexed question. The editors of this volume on Hausa identity and social life in West Africa conceptualize ethnicity as a "category of practice," situated within a particular historical context. They have brought together essays that critically examine what being Hausa means from linguistic, archaeological, sociocultural, and historical perspectives. Following a thoughtful introduction, the volume's 12 chapters focus on several themes: language, archaeology, material culture, and religion, mainly in areas associated with present-day Nigeria and Niger. Contributors use historical and comparative linguistic evidence, place-names, and proverbs to present reconstructions of early histories of Hausaland, while archaeological studies provide material evidence of social organization and economic production in emergent Hausa societies. Others consider Hausa precolonial textile industries and museum dress collections. Two chapters on religious practice, both Islamic and Christian, among contemporary Hausa-speaking societies in Niger underscore the ways that past social dynamics inform the present. A final chapter returns to the question of studying the "Hausaisation process." Essential reading for those concerned with Hausa identity, language, and historical and regional studies.
Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above'.

'This book shows that gone are the days when one could use the European or missionary archives as the only source for studying African ethnicities, as if such historical records can be applied beyond the time of their production. No wonder this anachronistic tendency, as especially shown in some recent studies described as historical anthropology, is always eventually reductionist. The broad multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary agendas and the longitudinal views, as well as the expansive theoretical frameworks, that Haour and Rossi and their collaborators have persued in this book provide useful templates for the future study of cultural and ethnolinguistic identities in Africa'.
