'Reluctant Landscapes' analyzes the political history of rural communities in the Siin province (Senegal) over the last 400 years. Much of Africa's global history has been told from the standpoint of states, but less is known about peasants, whose past has often been written as a tale of political rupture or cultural persistence. Drawing on archaeology, history, and anthropology, this text charts how Siin villagers variably accommodated, resisted, or evaded the incursions of indigenous states, the Atlantic economy, colonialism, and postcolonial government
