West African Awdaghost (Tegdaoust) emerged as a vital medieval trade center before its decline in the sixteenth century AD. Extensively excavated and accompanied by a large body of published material, Awdaghost provides a unique opportunity for the application of household archaeology to a West African settlement. By examining the building sequences of the habitation complexes, with their evolving space allocations, this monograph demonstrates how the household units in Awdaghost reflect fluctuating social organization and economic conditions.

Beyond Mimicry offers critical analysis of the main characteristics of African endogenous approaches to governance, investigating the potential of these systems in response to the crises many of today’s societies in Africa are facing. The book reflects on these studies and develops policy recommendations for African decision-makers willing to consider integrating endogenous systems of governance as a basis to search for alternative solutions to current critical issues.
