Listen here to ‘New Books Network’ Podcast – an interview about “An Intimate Rebuke”!

Dr. Elisa Prosperetti interviewed me for the New Books Network Podcast about An Intimate Rebuke: Female Genital Power in Ritual and Politics in West Africa. A historian specializing in modern African with particular knowledge of Côte d’Ivoire, Elisa was a keen and informed interviewer.

I am excited to have my book showcased on this platform. It will be sure to draw attention to its timely theme: The “Mothers” decry immoral leadership and clamor for justice without which there can be no peace.
