Reviews

A lively, insightful, and important study of exchange practices between Senegal and a circuit of global trade. The innovative focus is on the meanings, not the social and economic functions, of exchange. Karen Tranberg Hansen, Northwestern University A first-rate ethnography of Muslim women in Dakar... provides not only a wealth of detail but extremely fine-grained analysis of women's exchange networks, both in the domains of commerce but especially in ritual contexts. Robert Launay, Northwestern University
