Papers

  • “Still It Makes Me Laugh, No Time to Die”: Methodological Reflections on Oxford Street

    In responding to several commentaries on his book, Oxford Street, Accra: City Life and the Itineraries of Transnationalism, the author calls upon autobiographical memories and probes their relation to fieldwork and translational transactions between various languages, pointing out that there are no easy or single sources for entextualized anecdotes or slogans.
