ognize the phenomenal research on which the book is based. The way in which love and sexual relations are woven into broader processes fleshes out the history of urbanization, of customary practices, of gendered migration and of many other important themes in African studies. The dialectical relationships between small-scale legal events in colonial court records and large-scale reconfigurations of the social fabric of Gabonese society provide an insight into cultural change and people’s agency. Jean-Baptiste’s book is an important addition to many debates in African studies.
