Beyond Words: Discourse and Critical Agency in Africa

Explores how anthropology can come to terms with "colonial library" and begin to develop an ethnographic practice that transcends politics of Africa's imperial past. This book develops a model of critical agency, focusing on a variety of language genres in Africa situated in rituals that transform socio-political relations.
