Regimes of Responsibility in Africa analyses the transformations that discourses and practices of responsibility have undergone in Africa. By doing so, this collection develops a stronger grasp of the specific political, economic and social transformations taking place today in Africa. At the same time, while focusing on case studies from the African continent, the work enters into a dialogue with the emerging corpus of studies in the field of ethics, adding to it a set of analytical perspectives that can help further enlarge its theoretical and geographical scope.
“Regimes of Responsibility contributes to a growing number of histories in anthropology, political science, religious studies, economics, and history. This volume is unique in that it spans sub-Saharan Africa with a focus on neoliberal periodization and the way its effects are understood by local communities, with ‘responsibility’ as its discursive frame.”• African Studies Review
