Contributors call attention to ways of thinking about African spaces--physical, visceral, somatic, and imagined--as well as about time and temporality. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the volume also brings histories of anxiety in colonial settings into conversation with work on the so-called \u003ci\u003enegative\u003c\/i\u003e emotions in disciplines beyond history. While anxiety has long been acknowledged for its ability to unsettle colonial narratives, to reveal the vulnerability of the colonial enterprise, this volume shows it can equally complicate contemporary narratives, such as those of sustainable development, migration, sexuality, and democracy. These essays therefore highlight the need to take emotions seriously as contemporary realities with particular histories that must be carefully mapped out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Mariko Grant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082142436X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821424360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2021","brand":"Andrea Mariko Grant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44491680317695,"sku":"9780821424360","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_209c7f18-a623-48ff-be19-e90419d3b65a.jpg?v=1699452605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anxiety-in-and-about-africa-andrea-mariko-grant-9780821424360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
