Thanks Ebrima Just wondering if you plan a kindle version of this book. Much easier for people on the move. I purchased the kindle version of all three of the Gambian books released immediately before yours. As kindle versions are cheaper, you are likely to reach many more people this way LJDarbo ________________________________ From: Pasamba Jow <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, 30 November 2012, 0:31 Subject: Re: [G_L] [>-<] A New Book on The Gambia Congratulations Drs.

State and Society in The Gambia Since Independence: 1965 – 2012 is ground breaking and a massive volume for that matter (686 pages). Its exact publication date will be announced here online, as soon as it is confirmed by the publisher, but the tentative date is December 2012. The book has 15 chapters, excluding an excellent Foreword and a brilliant Postscript by Professors Lamin Sanneh and Sulayman Nyang respectively. It is published by the New Jersey based Africa World Press and features a wide-ranging selection of the works of established and promising scholars of Gambian studies. A second volume is also now underway. It is hoped that this first volume will make a significant contribution towards consolidating intellectual interest in, and international policy engagement with, The Gambia. This study is not only an essential read for those whose research focuses explicitly on Gambia, but is also useful for those who research other countries and are seeking useful comparative material. Finally, it is envisaged that the range of issues examined in this volume will serve as a starting-point for the development of a new research agenda for Gambian Studies that can be taken forward both by the contributors to this volume and by other scholars.
