Her decision to stay on in apartheid south Africa despite more tempting and lucrative offers outside the continent is evidence of her determination to make a difference in the discipline and the academic communities with which she was associated. spiced with appropriately labelled photographs and maps, this volume is a formidable tribute to a giant of her time. The book adds a great deal to our knowledge of the making of anthropological scholarship in the colonial era as well as the intellectual and personal sacrifices that often remain “hidden” but are nevertheless significant in shaping all scholarly endeavours. i highly recommend this volume as essential reading for researchers and students of African anthropology.","PeriodicalId":44599,"journal":{"name":"CANADIAN JOURNAL OF AFRICAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00083968.2016.1141588","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58778333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article studies the career and “afterlives” of this giraffe in France and relative to giraffes at large in the Sudan, in order to trace a Franco-Sudanese history that has stretched from the early nineteenth century to the present. At the same time, viewing this connected history in the aftermath of the 2011 secession of South Sudan, when colonial and national borders appear contingent and subject to change, this article approaches the Sudan as a zone (as opposed to a fixed country) within global networks of migration involving people, other animals, things, and ideas.","PeriodicalId":44599,"journal":{"name":"CANADIAN JOURNAL OF AFRICAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00083968.2015.1043712","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58778667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific purpose of this article is to clarify one of the aspects of this problem by examining, over the long term, the evolution of the Egyptian discourse on Sudan. From the Egyptian point of view, Sudan was clearly exploited; it was at the same time an issue of rivalry with the British and an issue of power. Furthermore, it was, at the time of the Egyptian monarchy, a central element of the identity of the ruling power, a kind of heritage to defend in memory of the founder of the ruling dynasty, Méhémet Ali.","PeriodicalId":44599,"journal":{"name":"CANADIAN JOURNAL OF AFRICAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00083968.2015.1026369","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58778657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
