This narrative will offer valuable insights into the spiritual practices and cultural backgrounds of Sumanguru's family, allies, and adversaries. The plot revolves around humanity, religion, power, and love. Following the demise of their father Sumanguru, his wife Mansarico abandoned her 16-year-old daughter named Africa and her 10-year-old son Kwame in the wilderness, without anyone to care for them. His uncle Sundiata kept on intimidating her to marry Ishara Bin Sanon, it was her father’s wish to marry Swahili, but a few months later, their uncle over the sea, more powerful than Ishara Bin Sanon; Prince Leopold suggested a meeting with Prince Bismarck, demanding their interest in marrying Africa. During the family meeting seven of them showed their interest so that they could marry Africa and take over her father’s resources and Kingship as her only brother was still young. Still, young Kwame was not allowed to make any contribution during the meeting, his uncles forced him to remain silent. Africa rejected all of them and after much persuasion and sugar-quoted vibes, it all ended fruitless. Plan Z was to rape her, one midnight seven of her uncles from over the sea arranged to rape her, seventeen years old Africa was raped and impregnated during the process and gave birth to septuplets. The other relatives were voice-less and Kwame still being young, promised to fight them. Kwame is thirty years old, and a powerful warrior and advocate. Kwame wants to fight against his uncles and make them to pay for all that they did to his elder sister and the resources of their wealthy Father had left for them. Will Kwame get full revenge for what they did to him and his sister? Will Swahili marry Africa, after being raped by other men and giving birth to seven children? Will Africa kill all those septuplets, so that she will forget the memories of what her uncles did to her, or should she continue the love relationship with her seven heartless Uncles, who have zero interest in marrying her?

In Our New Husbands Are Here, Emily Lynn Osborn investigates a central puzzle of power and politics in West African history: Why do women figure frequently in the political narratives of the precolonial period, and then vanish altogether with colonization? Osborn addresses this question by exploring the relationship of the household to the state. By analyzing the history of statecraft in the interior savannas of West Africa (in present-day Guinea-Conakry), Osborn shows that the household, and women within it, played a critical role in the pacifist Islamic state of Kankan-Baté, enabling it to endure the predations of the transatlantic slave trade and become a major trading center in the nineteenth century. But French colonization introduced a radical new method of statecraft to the region, one that separated the household from the state and depoliticized women’s domestic roles. This book will be of interest to scholars of politics, gender, the household, slavery, and Islam in African history.

This book explores the history of marriage and marriage-like relationships across five continents from the seventeenth century to the present day. Across fourteen chapters, leading marriage scholars examine how the methodologies from the new history of emotions contribute to our understanding of marriage, seeking to uncover not only personal feeling but also the political and social implications of emotion. They highlight how marriage as an institution has been shaped not just by law and society but also by individual and community choices, desires and emotional values. Importantly, they also emphasize how the history of non-traditional and same-sex relationships and their emotions have long played an important role in determining the nature of marriage as an institution and emotional union. In doing so, this collection allows us to rethink both the past and present of marriage, destabilizing a story of a stable institution and opening it up as a site of contest, debate and feeling.

Imaging Culture is a sociohistorical study of the meaning, function, and aesthetic significance of photography in Mali, West Africa, from the 1930s to the present. Spanning the dynamic periods of colonialism, national independence, socialism, and democracy, its analysis focuses on the studio and documentary work of professional urban photographers, particularly in the capital city of Bamako and in smaller cities such as Mopti and Ségu. Featuring the work of more than twenty-five photographers, it concentrates on those who have been particularly influential for the local development and practice of the medium as well as its international popularization and active participation in the contemporary art market. Imaging Culture looks at how local aesthetic ideas are visually communicated in the photographers' art and argues that though these aesthetic arrangements have specific relevance for local consumers, they transcend geographical and cultural boundaries to have value for contemporary global audiences as well. Imaging Culture is an important and visually interesting book which will become a standard source for those who study African photography and its global impact.
