Dear colleagues,

I would like to put together a panel of papers that broadly examines
foreign aid (public and private) in the 1960s and 1970s in sub-Saharan
Africa.  Any topics related to this theme would be welcome on any part of
the continent.  My presentation will explore the impact of Mobutu Sese
Seko's regime and cultural authenticity on US private religious aid and
development programs from 1966 to 1972, as well as the negotiations between
Congolese church leaders with foreign Protestant church aid organizations.
I'll consider abstracts from graduate students and independent scholars as
well as professors like myself.  Please email me off list.

The 56th Annual Meeting of the African Studies Association
November 21-24, 2013
