Compliance and craft
In 2015, the West African archipelago country of Cabo Verde enacted rules governing the production of grogue, a place-based sugarcane spirit primarily produced on the islands of Santiago and Santo Antão. This “grogue law” not only (re)defined the alcohol but established how grogue should be made and marketed according to food safety, environmental, and public health standards. These regulations include 11 labeling parameters required on the liquo…
Contested values of grogue in Cabo Verde
This article explores grogue, a sugarcane-based distilled spirit of Cabo Verde, and its multifaceted and contested valuations in culture, livelihoods, and well-being. Despite Cabo Verde's challenging climate, sugarcane agriculture remains significant primarily due to the importance placed on the local production of grogue. The study described in this article investigates how grogue is perceived and valued among Cabo Verdeans, questioning why it p…
The Effectiveness of Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies in Localized Contexts
The professionalization of addressing conflict creates a field filled with specialists highly trained to apply modularized and manualized, often evidence-based solutions. But how effective are these professionalized conflict management strategies in Indigenous and localized cultural contexts compared to homegrown Indigenous approaches? While instances of these Indigenous peacebuilding and conflict management strategies are routine throughout the …
Becoming Manjaco
Resolution No. 3 enacted the National Immigration Strategy for the island nation of Cabo Verde, the first of its kind in the country. As a buffer nation to Western Europe with a rapidly developing economy and good governance indicators, Cabo Verde is transitioning from a sending to a receiving nation for African mainlanders. A one-month ethnographic investigation among Bissau-Guinean labor migrants demonstrates how communities undergoing immigrat…
Identifying and Partnering Ecoallies through Perceived Natural Environment Futures in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa
Through an experiential, field-based investigative opportunity in the anthropology of climate change, this project introduced college and university students from the United States and Guinea-Bissau through active research encounters. This article examines one part of the larger project, perceptions of natural environment futures via 287 drawings collected by three United States-based undergraduate students from 145 college and university student…
Negotiating Intersubjectivity as Methodology
How is ethnographic knowledge fashioned and impressions managed during power-laden, discursive interview events? This chapter examines ethnographic encounters with foreign investors, development workers, and government officials in Guinea-Bissau as a way to explore intersubjectivity as a site of meaning making. These encounters take place in negotiated spaces where the dynamics of the encounter are fluid and contextually sensitive. Through an ana…
Project- and Human-Centered Teaching and Learning
This commentary introduces the U.S. State Department-sponsored Diplomacy Lab. This program provides interdisciplinary teams of students an opportunity to learn how to directly inform government policy development and implementation. In the project discussed here, a team of student researchers considered how the new public charge final rule could impact Cabo Verdean immigrants in the United States. The program demonstrates how project- and human-c…
The impact of foreign-owned enterprises in low-income economies
An economic impact snapshot of foreign and domestic enterprises from the functional economic areas of Guinea-Bissau showed that not all micro and small enterprises (MSEs) are local, and not all outside investment is large scale. We find that South–South entrepreneurship has prospects to improve livelihoods as drivers of economic growth and development in a low-income economy. While political instability and a lack of resources remain as barriers …
Challenging adulthood
This article is about how changing initiation rites among the Balanta of Guinea-Bissau are affecting their society, and how neoliberal changes in society are affecting Balanta rites of passage and definitions of adulthood. The transmission of cultural knowledge and the social structures that support it have undergone profound transformations in the era of globalisation. In light of these changing initiation rites, this article explores how Balant…
Measuring Community Integration of Lusophone West African Immigrant Populations Through Needs Assessment, Human Security, and Realistic Conflict Theory
Drivers and deterrents of entrepreneurial enterprise in the risk-prone Global South
Through the case of Guinea-Bissau, this article considers how small-scale, often cross-border entrepreneurs mitigate risk and establish resilient businesses able to cope with ongoing political and economic shocks. Nineteen interviews and 153 surveys were conducted over two months with business leaders and regulators within the commercial centers and markets of Guinea-Bissau to assess entrepreneurial profiles and activities. Findings show that sma…
Conflict-Induced Migration and the Refugee Crisis
The conflict-induced displacement of millions in less than two years has revealed many significant cracks in international legal and economic systems. The resistance of the problem to more traditio
Rïm's Unrest
all photos by the author except where otherwise notedRïm is a diffused ritual object created and employed throughout the Upper Guinea Coast. It is found among the Nalú people and sometimes referred to as Mnimba Kawala, meaning “resting Nimba.” Rïm also appears among the Landuma (who call it Tabakän) and the Buluñits. Finally, Rïm has also been documented among the two northernmost dialect groups of the Baga: the Sitem call this ritual object Tönk…
Trading on the margins
Guinea-Bissau has experienced more than 40 years of failed economic policies since independence. Simultaneously, a few astute social theorists recognize that this country may in part be governed by internal logics and enduring local power structures that allow for continuity in the face of on-going political and economic ruptures. This article highlights these contours and continuities focusing on the merchant classes of contemporary Guinea-Bissa…
Secondary Diaspora
Diasporas are fluid cultural constructs that foster identity, community, and connections over time, distance, and social space. This study explores a derivative secondary diaspora to illustrate how and why diasporas are interesting social phenomena established out of complex socio-cultural, economic, and political conditions. Outside of the large Cape Verdean diaspora of New England, relatively little is known about other U.S. Cape Verdean commun…
Dearly Deported
First-second generation undocumented minors to the US are considered through an experiential-style “letter” in which the author uses his personal narrative as a backdrop for the deportation dilemma. The two primary questions considered in this piece are, can compassion play a role in policy decisions regarding deportation, and what happens when a person develops social citizenship within the host nation and then experiences deportation as a resul…
Negotiating Development
This paper provides a case study illustrating the crossroads between the agendas of international/national economic development with that of the development objectives of local communities. It shows how a community development project connects villagers to the larger world – both practically and imaginatively. This study takes a single case, the process of developing a guesthouse building project among the Nalú of southern Guinea-Bissau, to illus…
Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies
A decrease in incidence of rAAA in men was evident before the implementation of screening. We were yet not able to demonstrate a certain reduction in rAAA incidence after the start of screening
Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies
We know that since the end of the Cold War, conflicts in non-Western countries have been frequent, frequently violent, largely intra-state, and protracted. But what do we know about conflict management and resolution strategies in these societies? Have the dominant Western approaches been transplantable, suitable, effective, durable, and sustainable? Would conflicts in non-Western societies be better handled by the adaptation and adoption of cust…
Disciplined Aesthetics
famously stated, "The first man who compared a woman to a rose was a poet, the second, an imbecile." 1 Many art clichs such as "art for art's sake," or even critiques of art clichs such as the one provided here by Nerval overlook two critical aspects of the artists' endeavors: art as socially and culturally constructed and interpreted, and art as fundamentally human After all, "art imitates life," or is it, "life imitates art?" Put another way, i…
Making Africa Accessible
A growing literature documents Africa's history, its cultural diversity, and its contemporary trends. Meanwhile, accessible work on educational initiatives by individuals and institutions tackling problems of Afro-pessimism and Afro-ignorance are less common and yet no less important. This chapter gives examples of how firsthand ethnographic research in Africa can be brought into the classroom to foster a better understanding across the US/Africa…
Ethnic Encounters and Everyday Economics in Kassumba, Guinea-Bissau
This paper presents evidence of ethnocultural coexistence strategies as a counter-argument to more pessimistic views for inter-ethnic relations. The community under ethnographic investigation is the semi-isolated, southern village of Kassumba, Guinea-Bissau in West Africa. The minority Islamic Nalú claim territorial hegemony while spiritist Balanta immigrants outnumber the Nalú three to one. This paper finds that inter-ethnic cooperation through …
Playing the Market
Guinea-Bissau's political ecology of the 1980s led to cashews overtaking all other exports as a generator of national revenue. Through ethnographic methodology, this paper examines the cashew commodityscape illustrated through an examination of several villages in southern Guinea-Bissau. This research addresses how household livelihood strategies are fashioned as a result of necessity, opportunity, and negotiations with local, regional, and globa…

They Expect Me to Bring Fish
Fatu and I arrived after a full day of travel and presented the young bride-to-be with a palmfrond broom, winnowing basket, grass mat and two chickens. Fatu, a reputable fisherwoman, whispered to me, “they expect me to bring fish, but I couldn’t find any to buy in my village.” As I struggled to document complex local-global economic interfaces in the field, I recalled my advisor’s suggestion that traditional field methods are once again proving e…
