Opis

Beer in Africa focuses on the making and unmaking of self in the inchoate, dark, exalted, and sometimes upsetting context of bars, shebeens, and other formal and informal drinking occasions. It takes the production and consumption of fermented drinks as its point of entry to investigate how local actors deal with the ambivalent and the hazy, and how this ambiguity affects social life and daily practice.
