      abstract = {In cities throughout Africa, local inhabitants live  alongside large populations of "strangers." Bruce  Whitehouse explores the condition of strangerhood for  residents who have come from the West African Sahel to  settle in Brazzaville, Congo. Whitehouse considers how  these migrants live simultaneously inside and outside of  Congolese society as merchants, as Muslims in a  predominantly non-Muslim society, and as parents seeking to  instill in their children the customs of their communities  of origin. Migrants and Strangers in an African City  challenges Pan-Africanist ideas of transnationalism and  diaspora in today's globalized world.},
