A virtual treasure trove of scholarship on one of Africa's most critical sub-regions, The United States and West Africa is long overdue. The authors of these twenty-two essays examine various aspects of U.S.-West African interactions in exquisite detail, offering analyses that are both empirically rich and theoretically informed. Perhaps most importantly, the volume provides the opportunity to hear both African and non-African voices on the relationship in one well-integrated collection. Scholars from a range of disciplines, foreign policy practitioners and students alike, will find the book an essential -- and thought-provoking -- read. --Scott Taylor, director, African Studies Program, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University The United States and West Africa is a tour de force! In this sophisticated collection, Jalloh, Falola, and contributors break new ground, providing fresh, meticulously researched analyses of the myriad factors that have influenced foreign policy and relationships between the United States and West Africa. A must-read for anyone seriously interested in understanding these complex relations in the changing contours of the global economy. -- Bessie House-Soremekun, professor of political science and African American and African Diaspora studies, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis
