http://lettersfrombangui.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Research in the Central African Republic - Observations from the field. Wednesday, 31 August 2011. I am really happy to be here and excited to start to work next week. Until then I have hopefully finished all the seven (! Baguettes I mistakenly bought this morning.

Wednesday, 24 August 2011. With all three rebel gr...

My blog from University of Cape Town. Laquo; Sounds of South Africa. South African bike riding, part III. A tribute to the African hairdresser. October 31, 2011 by Johan. Quite often, people ask me why I have chosen African studies as my field of studies. What do I see in this dark, impoverished and exotic continent? What makes me want to come back again and again. Is it the nature? The “big five”? Or is it the beautiful people who populate the continent? So when I’m in Africa, I can enjoy the soci...

http://lettersfrombangui.blogspot.com/2012/05/witchcraft-in-car.html

Research in the Central African Republic - Observations from the field. Monday, 7 May 2012. Witchcraft in the CAR. A very interesting episode on witchcraft laws in the CAR. May enhance the understanding of the problems with not only corruption of the judiciary but also how "lynch law" is a threat to rule of law, fair trials and how rumors often are enough evidence to convict prisoners, if they are convicted at all. A Swede in Bangui. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bangui" for obvious reasons. No vis...

My blog from University of Cape Town. Laquo; The Suburbs. Pictures from Spring Break. Who killed Laura Palmer? August 30, 2011 by Johan. For et par nætter siden, da jeg lå i min seng og ikke kunne sove, lå jeg og tænkte på en masse, jeg ville skrive her på nærværende blog. Jeg lyver ikke, hvis jeg siger, at det, jeg lå og tænkte på at skrive, formentlig var det bedste, der nogensinde er blevet skrevet på denne side af Ækvator, siden Isabel Allende skrev Åndernes Hus! Nå, men jeg er begyndt at gense serie...
