Downsizing home photocopy library
Colleagues,
I am downsizing my home files and would like to divest myself of about 40 years of photocopies in West African and general African history {primarily}--Islamic history, pre-colonial Africa, some colonial, etc. If anyone wants to pay postage for this material, I will box it up and send it to you. I cannot send you an inventory. Please reply offlist to klgreen@mvsu.edu.

Ann.: New textbook on African women's history
Dear friends and colleagues,
I am very pleased to let you know that my book -- African Women: Early History to the 21st Century -- has been published by Indiana University Press - just in time for summer reading and to consider for your fall or spring classes. While it is obviously essential for courses on African women, it will also be an important addition to reading lists for African history in general.
