USA Africa Dialogue Series - Ralph Njoku: West African Masking Traditions and Diaspora Masquerade Festivals

Congratulations to Professor Ralph Njoku for his latest publication on masking traditions and masquerade festivals, an excellent book that appeared in the University of Rochester's Series on Africa and the African Diaspora.

 

Thanks to a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation, it is both an open access book and an inexpensive paper edition. If you are interested in a free copy, the links are supplied below. No code is necessary! It's completely open access.  An inexpensive paperback for sale will be coming out soon--for people who would still like to have a print book.
