P amela S cully . Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
This volume in the Ohio Short Histories of Africa series provides a comprehensive account for a general audience of the life of the first woman to be elected head of state of an African country, Liberia’s Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (b. 1938). Sirleaf was democratically elected to two terms in office and served from 2006–18. She has published her own autobiography (This Child Will Be Great: Memoir of a Remarkable Life by Africa’s First Woman President …
Monrovia Modern
Reviewed by: Monrovia Modern: Urban Form and the Political Imagination in Liberia by Danny Hoffman Mary H. Moran Danny Hoffman, Monrovia Modern: Urban Form and the Political Imagination in Liberia. Durham: Duke University Press, 2017. 232 pp. What can be learned about a city from its ruins? How do buildings “speak,” and how does the meaning of what they say change over time? These are questions archaeologists may find familiar but that occur less…
Missing Bodies and Secret Funerals
During the height of the Ebola crisis in West Africa, public health responders and the international media focused on dead bodies as sites of disease transmission when early contact tracing discovered the relationship between attendance at funerals and emerging clusters of new cases. Anthropologists were central to the emergence of new protocols for "safe and dignified" disposal of the dead, emphasizing alternative rituals and the flexibility of …
Surviving Ebola
With each promise of more foreign aid by multilateral donors, the general public assumed that the nation's elites would grow richer while ordinary people were abandoned to die in their homes and on the streets
Liberia
Moran argues that democracy is not a foreign import into Africa, but that essential aspects of what we in the West consider democratic values are part of the indigenous traditions of legitimacy and political process
International Human Rights, Gender-Based Violence, and Local Discourses of Abuse in Postconflict Liberia
In this article we draw on three years of ethnographic observation of postconflict humanitarian intervention in Liberia to consider the process whereby global efforts in the areas of gender-based violence (GBV) and human rights are interacting with local debates over kinship, entitlement, personal rights, and social responsibility. This article draws upon Liberian narratives, complaints, and efforts to regulate, in a national context, social norm…
Law and Disorder in the Postcolony edited by Jean Comaroff and John L. Comaroff
Gender, Militarism, and Peace-Building
Scholars have argued for decades about the relationship between biological sex and organized violence, but feminist analysts across numerous disciplines have documented the range and variety of gendered roles in times of war. In recent years, research has brought new understanding of the rapidity with which ideas about masculinity and femininity can change in times of war and the role of militarization in constructing and enforcing the meaning of…
Rethinking Patrimonialism and Neopatrimonialism in Africa
Current usages of the termspatrimonialandneopatrimonialin the context of Africa are conceptually problematical and amount to a serious misreading of Weber. His use of the termpatrimonialdelineated a legitimate type of authority, not a type of regime, and included notions of reciprocity and voluntary compliance between rulers and the ruled. Those reciprocities enabled subjects to check the actions of rulers, which most analyses of (neo) patrimonia…

Time and Place in the Anthropology of Events
The word implies a moment in time, a specific punctuation of the temporal flow. The of a day, month, or decade can be precisely located by chronology; thus can organize in terms of linear causality, a comforting and logically satisfying means of making sense of the world facilitated by the very structure of our language (see Lee 1977). But the notion of also carries a connotation of place; something happens at a particular point not only in but i…
The ‘basket case’ and the ‘poster child’
Through a comparison of protracted domestic conflicts in Liberia and Mozambique this paper evaluates several standard explanations regarding the roles of leaders, third parties and domestic social forces in resolving or continuing civil wars in Africa. The paper finds that no single account of how peace is achieved is sufficient to explain the continuance of violence in Liberia and the successful attainment of peace in Mozambique. Rather, an expl…
