New book on the History of Borno in Nigeria (Un manguier au Nigeria : histoires du Borno)
Dear H-Africa subscribers,
Just a message to let you know that I have just published a new book on the history of Borno in North-Eastern Nigeria. The book could have been called 'Beyond Boko Haram' but I have decided to call it 'Un manguier au Nigeria : histoires du Borno'. As you can tell, the book is in French and was published by Plon in the 'Terre Humaine' series. It retraces the history of Borno through interviews with inhabitants of the region.
Best Wishes,

Tagungsort/-zeit: Universität Tallinn, 17.-20.09.2020
Erzähl- und Lebenswelten bedingen einander. Wie das Leben ist das Erzählen als solches universell. Es wurde schon immer und überall erzählt. Die Erzählung ist mithin, wie bereits Roland Barthes formuliert hat, „international, transhistorisch, transkulturell, und damit einfach da, so wie das Leben“. Erzählungen erschaffen dabei Welten, die mehr oder minder auf die reale Lebenswelt Bezug nehmen, wie auch diese ihrerseits von den in Erzählungen vermittelten Welten geprägt ist.
