Acknowledgments

THIS BOOK IS THE OUTCOME of a longand at times difficult as well as unpredictablepersonal and intellectual journey. Mali's democratic and neoliberal turn and the accompanying transformations in the field of public culture and cultural heritage have sparked my imagination and propelled much of my research efforts over the past two decades. My own journey presented some unexpected detours and delays but ultimately came full circle.

There are many people and institutions to be thanked for their generous help in the data collection, analysis, and writing phases of this book. Fieldwork on cultural heritage in Mali as well as archival research was made possible by the following granting institutions: the Italian Institute for Africa and the Orient, the University of North Florida, the University of Florida, the Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures, and the Henry Luce Foundation.

In Mali I could always count on a number of scholars and researchers to offer me valuable help and counsel. In particular, I owe a great deal to Issaka Bagayogo of the Institut Suprieur de Formation et de Recherche Applique, my first-ever contact in Mali; Mamady Dembele of the Institut des Sciences Humaines du Mali for his intellectual generosity and support with my research; Modibo Diallo of the Modibo Keita Memorial, who always found time to discuss history and politics with me; Amadou Seydou Traor for sharing his deep knowledge of Malian politics; Diarra Marie Goundiam of the women's museum Muso Kunda and Bah Diakit of the Ministry of Culture for kindly facilitating my research in their institutional settings and sharing their knowledge with me. I also thank Alpha Diallo, Anne Marie Traor, Moussa Fofana, and Issa Fofana of Point Sud for their generous assistance and intellectual contributions to my fieldwork in Mali.

In the United States, several scholars read and provided useful insights on parts of this book. I especially thank Maria Grosz-Ngat, Alioune Sow, Charlotte Joy, and Benjamin Soares for their insights and feedback. I am also grateful for the conversations on related topics I shared with Mary Jo Arnoldi and Joseph Hellweg. Early versions of were presented and benefited greatly from the feedback from numerous audiences; in particular, I thank the conference organizer, Nancy Um, for soliciting my contribution. Thanks, too, to Andrew Hernann, Leonardo Villalon, Fiona McLaughlin, Terje steb, Renata Serra, Aboulaye Kane, and Steven Brandt for their helpful comments on earlier versions of this chapter. I am thankful to Sane Chirphi Alpha (Timbuktu) and Mamadou Diamountani (Haut conseil islamique du Mali) for sharing their knowledge of Timbuktu, its mausoleums, and Mali's recent troubled history.

My deepest gratitude goes to Norman Whitten, series editor of the Interpretations of Culture in the New Millennium series, University of Illinois Press, for his continuing professional and personal guidance through the years despite my delays and setbacks. Special thanks go to Alma Gottlieb, who read and provided invaluable feedback on my original book proposal. I also recognize the two readers who anonymously reviewed this manuscript and recommended it for publication. Now that I know their names, I can express my gratitude publicly: thanks to Robert Launay and Paul Stoller, whose suggestions and deep insights improved my manuscript immensely and made it a much better final product.

I am extremely grateful for the help and intellectual generosity of two Malian colleagues in the United States, Amadou Beidy Sow (Indiana University) and Talatou A. Maiga (University of Utah). The book would not have been the same without their help. This book owes much to the phenomenal editing work (and organizational skills) of Marsha Brofka-Berends, whose patience and support were key to the completion of this book. I also thank Jennifer Kurtz for her kind and insightful editorial help with and Mary Lou Kowaleski for her careful copyediting work.

My deepest gratitude goes also to the late Bernardo Bernardi and Lilli Romanelli for their friendship and support during the completion of this work. Lastly, I dedicate this work to my parents, Rossana and Antonio De Jorio, for their love and support, my partner, Hans-Herbert Kgler, with whom I shared many engaging theoretical discussions, and our dear daughter, Victoria.
