African Studies Collection 34

Based on rich and wide-ranging data, this book describes the sensitive issue of the contemporary emancipation trajectories of agro-pastoralist FulǢe in Central Mali. It explores how people are currently dealing with hierarchies they inherited from past master- slave relations and focuses on the relational dynamics between members of a network of migrants. The importance of mobility

to identity is explored by analyzing the tensions that exist among migrants to reproduce or change hierarchical relations in post-slavery societies.

Lotte Pelckmans obtained her Masters degree in Cultural Anthropology and Non-Western Sociology at Leiden University, the Netherlands. She is currently employed at Nijmegen University lecturing on identity and mobility, ethnography, culture and development, and conducting research on river nomads and anti- slavery movements in West Africa.
