Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fallou Ngom wins the Herskovits
And my prediction comes to pass. When I read the draft, we began the regular fights! From the proposal to multiple drafts, he pushed himself.
Over ten years to produce and numerous fieldworks, Fallou took his time. It his first book, and I have read the ongoing one.
This is the seventh book that I will be part of shaping that has won the Herskovits.
And congrats too to Fallou who now heads the African Studies in Boston.
He followed me to Nigeria last summer where he gave lectures at Ibadan, LASU, and the Keynote Address at TOFAC.
As I am phasing myself out, our new leaders have emerged
I will write more...
