Book Description
Medical research has been central to biomedicine in Africa for over a century, and Africa, along with other tropical areas, has been crucial to the development of medical science. At present, study populations in Africa participate in an increasing number of medical research projects and clinical trials, run by both public institutions and private companies. Global debates about the politics and ethics of this research are growing and local concerns are prompting calls for social studies of the “trial communities” produced by this scientific work. Drawing on rich, ethnographic and historiographic material, this volume represents the emergent field of anthropological inquiry that links Africanist ethnography to recent concerns with science, the state, and the culture of late capitalism in Africa.

Book Description
In Experiments with Empire Justin Izzo examines how twentieth-century writers, artists, and anthropologists from France, West Africa, and the Caribbean experimented with ethnography and fiction in order to explore new ways of knowing the colonial and postcolonial world. Focusing on novels, films, and ethnographies that combine fictive elements and anthropological methods and modes of thought, Izzo shows how empire gives ethnographic fictions the raw materials for thinking beyond empire's political and epistemological boundaries. In works by French surrealist writer Michel Leiris and filmmaker Jean Rouch, Malian writer Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Martinican author Patrick Chamoiseau, and others, anthropology no longer functions on behalf of imperialism as a way to understand and administer colonized peoples; its relationship with imperialism gives writers and artists the opportunity for textual experimentation and political provocation. It also, Izzo contends, helps readers to better make sense of the complicated legacy of imperialism and to imagine new democratic futures.

Book Description
The food and textile industries play an important role in our daily lives; they are the core of our consumer society. To make these sectors more competitive in Africa, there is need to train competent researchers, who can effectively carry out research to develop more market-oriented products. Experimental research skills are critical for the success of the food and textile industries. This book is intended to specifically address the required experimental research skills needed by graduate students entering the field. A comprehensive coverage of all the elements of the research process, including problem identification, proposal writing, designing experiments, analysing and interpreting data, the use and application of statistical packages and finally scientific report and manuscript writing, have been provided in the book. The practical examples that are presented using data in food and textiles (including apparel), and their analysis and interpretation, will help readers understand the processes of conducting research, presenting data in a scientific way, and compiling a report.
