Leiden: African Studies Centre, African studies
collection 34, 2011.
Based on rich and wide-ranging data, the thesis describes the sensitive
issue of the contemporary emancipation trajectories of agro-pastoralist
Fulbe in Central Mali. It explores how people are currently dealing with
hierarchies they inherited from past master-slave relations and focuses on
the relational dynamics between members of a network of migrants. The
importance of mobility to identity is explored by analyzing the tensions
that exist among migrants to reproduce or change hierarchical relations in
post-slavery societies.
