Description

Caring for small children and the family in Burkina Faso is hard work. Although the health infrastructure in Burkina Faso is weak and many citizens feel neglected by the state, Fragile Futures shows that the state continues to play an important role in people’s engagements and hopes for a better future. Based on more than twenty years of research engagement with Burkina Faso, it is an ethnography of how rural citizens address ambiguities of sickness and care and try to secure a decent future for themselves and their families.

Author Biography:

Helle Samuelsen is Associate Professor at the Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen. Her research is based on more than 25 years of engagement in Africa, particularly in Burkina Faso. She has recently contributed to the book Everyday State and Democracy in Africa: Ethnographic Encounters edited by W. Adebanwi (Ohio University Press, 2022).
