Goist, Mitchell, and Florian G. Kern. "Traditional institutions and social cooperation: Experimental evidence from the Buganda Kingdom." Research & Politics 5, no. 1(2018)

A number of studies have analyzed traditional political institutions as having significant influence over constituents because they are perceived as legitimate political actors inmost weak states. These traditional actors play a role in mobilizing local communities. Goist and Kern argue that the link between traditional institutions and collective mobilization is not understood, for example in linking traditional institutions with local public goods provision. Their study seeks to find out the casual mechanisms by which contemporary traditional institutions affect social cooperation. The study looks at the Buganda kingdom in Uganda and argues that the traditional leaders act as influential local actors and development actors who leverage their position to provide public goods to their constituents.

Gott, Suzanne, and Kristyne Loughran, eds. Contemporary African Fashion. Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 2010.

African fashion is as diverse and dynamic as the continent and the people who live there. While experts have long recognized the importance of clothing as a marker of ethnic identity, life stages, political affiliation, and social class, they have only just begun to discover African fashion. Contemporary African Fashion puts Africa at the intersection of world cultures and globalized identities, displaying the powerful creative force and impact of newly emerging styles. Richly illustrated with color photographs, this book showcases haute couture for the African continent. The visual impact of fashion created and worn today in Africa comes to life here, beautifully and brilliantly.
