The role of deprivation and alcohol availability in shaping trends in violent crime
It is well known that both deprivation and alcohol availability are associated with violent crime. However, less is known about whether the former moderates the latter. Pioneering the linkage of novel alcohol availability measures derived from consumer data with police data and an index of deprivation, we examine inequalities in violent crime across small-level geography (LSOAs) for the whole of England. Our findings confirmed a recent upward tre…

Youssou N'Dour's Sant Yàlla/Egypt
In collaboration with the Cairene composer Fathy Salama, Youssou N'Dour released an album that appeared in Dakar in 2003 as Sant Yàlla ('Praise God'), and internationally in 2004 as Egypt. Sung in Wolof to the accompaniment of an Egyptian orchestra, the album consists of a suite of eight interrelated pieces, seven of which are praise songs to Senegalese Sufi shaykhs, while the remaining piece praises God, the Prophet Mohammed, and some important …

Dakar Wolof and the configuration of an urban identity
The turbulent period of political and social unrest at the end of the 1980s and beginning of the 1990s in Senegal gave rise to the Set Setal movement in which the city of Dakar was recreated in the historical imagination of its youth. This essay argues that the Set Setal movement coincided with the emergence of a self-conscious urban identity among the Dakar population, evidenced by a variety of artistic expression that focuses on and exalts the …

Noun classification in Wolof when affixes are not renewed
The Wolof noun class system exhibits a variety of class assignment strategies based on the intersection of semantic, morphological, phonological and sociolinguistic criteria. This study examines and analyzes the many strategies for class assignment that have coalesced in the Wolof noun class system, including the tendency towards a single default class, and an unusual copy process in which phonological material is copied from the stem to the clas…
Islam and popular music in Senegal
This article explores the influence of Islam on Senegalese popular music and describes the emergence of a 'new tradition' that adapts the griot's praise song to Sufism. The emerging tradition is discussed against the backdrop of social relations between griots and the people they praise, and between marabouts or Sufi religious leaders and their disciples. Elements derived from both relationships can be found in the 'new tradition', making for a h…
Africanisms in Afro-American Language Varieties
This collection of papers, based upon a Round Table meeting sponsored by the National Science Foundation, deals with creole and Afro-American linguistics. In particular, it emphasises the way in which African substrate languages contribute to the structure of creoles and semi-creoles
Consonant mutation in Seereer-Siin
This study presents a description and analysis of stem-initial consonant mutation within the nominal system of Seereer-Siin, a West Atlantic language closely related to Fula. Two distinct mutation patterns are isolated. The first consists of a voiced stop--voiceless stop--prenasalized stop set of alternations, while the second is a Fula-like pattern consisting of continuant-stop-pre nasalized stop alternations. Consonant mutation is shown to be t…
