Description and Table of Contents
Description
Sub-Saharan Africa has seen wide-ranging economic and political change alongside civil and international wars. This volume focuses on the radical social uncertainties there, and how social actors perceive and cope with them in their everyday lives. It also suggests some ways to conceptualize both the actions and the environment of uncertainty.
