Ethnographies of Uncertainty in Africa: Anthropology, Change, and Development

E. Cooper

D. Pratten

This collection explores the productive potential of uncertainty for people living in Africa as well as for scholars of Africa.

Recenzii

“The book Ethnographies of Uncertainty in Africa edited by Cooper and Pratten focuses specifically on one phenomenon that has been largely overlooked in development studies: uncertainty. … the book presents detailed ethnographies of people’s experiences of coping with uncertainty in their everyday life. … the book is relevant for readers involved in development practice and development studies, as well as for practitioners and academics concerned with change processes more generally.” (Aleid Groenewoudt, Progress in Development Studies, Vol. 18 (4), 2018)
