Africa & Asia

Here is my blog of political and anthropological reflections. Much of my professional career was in West Africa (and some of my childhood as well), but I also know East, Central and North Africa quite well. I have visited most Arab-speaking countries from Morocco to the Persian Empire. I know both Iran and Afghanistan, and many of the surrounding countries in Central and Southern Asia.
