Subject: New ASR issue on Bodily Practices and Aesthetic Rituals live!

 

Dear colleagues and friends,

I hope this email finds you well! I am very excited to share an issue of African Studies Review that I guest-edited is available as of today. The issue is titled "Bodily Practices and Aesthetic Rituals in Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century Africa." I attach my editorial introduction; I also attach my contribution, "Over-Making Nyanga: Mastering 'Natural' Beauty and Disciplining Excessive Bodily Practices In Metropolitan Cameroon." Please, let me know if you would like a copy of the other (excellent!) contributions in the issue. 

 

You can try and access the articles here. 

 

Further, ASR made a video advertising the issue; it's basically me talking for a few minutes and the videographer desperately waving his hands in the background (unseen in the video) to signal that's time for me to hurry up très vite, and wrap up. You can view it here. 

 

Best,

Jacque
