Spiritual Contestations – The Violence of Peace in South Sudan
Dr Naomi Pendle
A fresh perspective on conflict and peace-making that highlights the cosmologies and invisible entities that state, society and religious authorities draw on to claim or reclaim legitimacy and control.
Contesting Moralities: Roma Identities, State and Kinship (2023)
Dr Iliana Sarafian
Roma identities have often been presented in literature as collectively constructed and in opposition to those who are not Roma. Contesting Moralities challenges these preconceptions about Roma identification by disentangling the binaries between Roma and non-Roma, state and non-state, public and private.
State Politics and Public Policy in Eastern Africa - A Comparative Perspective (2023)
Dr Gedion Onyango (eds)

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, it covers numerous topics relating to politics, public policy, state and nation-building in Africa.
