17th Call for Book Reviewers: apologies for cross-posting

[Brian Torode]

I am sending you KROEBER, DIMBLEBY, and CHIMOMBO. Please assess suitability
before writing review. The Chimombo item is quite slight, but it is rare
enough to get any kind of study like this.  Incidentally there is another
African book on this list namely:

Hirsch, S. F. (1998) Pronouncing and Persevering: gender and the discourses
of disputing in an African Islamic court.   Chicago: University Press.

Would that also interest you at all?
Cheers, Brian
