Bacteria and fungi associated with isoprene consumption in soil
Isoprene is a reactive volatile organic compound released from the biosphere that can be abundant in the planetary boundary layer, where it can have a myriad of effects on atmospheric chemistry and secondary aerosol formation. There is currently a high degree of uncertainty in forecasts of how atmospheric isoprene concentrations will shift in response to anthropogenic land-use change and climate change. One source of this uncertainty is that stud…

The Use and Abuse of the International Court of Justice
A majority of the contentious cases brought to the International Court of Justice in recent years have involved questions of the legality of the use of force. This is a dramatic change in the subject matter of the Court's cases; Is it a dangerous development for the Court? In the Nicaragua case the USA argued strongly that such disputes were non-justiciable, but the Court summarily rejected its arguments. The first part of this article considers …

Colonial Rule and Crisis in Equatorial Africa
In the second half of the nineteenth century, two very different practices of territoriality confronted each other in Southern Gabon. Clan and lineage relationships were most important in the local practice, while the French practice was informed by a territorial definition of society that had emerged with the rise of the modern nation-state and industrial capitalism. This modern territoriality used an array of bureaucratic instruments - such as …

Lambaréné, Okoumé and the Transformation of Labor Along the Middle Ogooué (Gabon), 1870–1945
IN 1929, the French colonial administration's forced recruitment of labor for two road construction projects designed to create more effective transportation links between the town of Lambaréné on the Middle Ogooué and the colonial post at Mouila on the Upper Ngounié led to food shortages in several parts of southern Gabon. A disturbing pattern had developed over the previous 15 years where colonial demands for labor led to disruptions in the sea…

The African Diaspora
As Africans and descendants of slaves have sought to expand an understanding of their history, focus on the African diaspora - the global dispersal of a people and their culture - has increased. African studies have assumed a prominent place in historical scholarship, and a growing number of non-African scholars has helped revise a discipline established over several decades. The six contributions in this volume were compiled as a result of the t…

Cultivating Citizenship Through Xenophobia in Gabon, 1960-1995
Mahmood Mamdani's recent book, Citizen and Subject, examines the legacy of the bifurcated state in contemporary Africa. Under colonial rule, the full rights of citizenship were usually granted only to Europeans, while the vast majority of African inhabitants were recognized as subjects who therefore may have had modicum of civil rights, but not political rights.' In French-administered colonies such as Gabon, this bifurcation was accomplished thr…
