Panel: “Fulɓe Connections: West African Pastoralists Between Participation and Disruption with Society”

Nikolaus Schareika and Georges Djohy are convening the panel “Fulɓe Connections: West African Pastoralists Between Participation and Disruption with Society” at the 8th European Conference on African Studies which will be held from 11/06/2019 to 14/06/2019 at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre of African Studies.

The panel revisits the question of Fulɓe pastoralists facing change through the perspective of this conference’s theme: connections and disruptions. It builds on the observation that Fulɓe pastoralists have moved away from former “exit” strategies and are building multiple connections with society.
