The past is never dead. It's not even past

Not Even Past

People Are Not the Same by Eric Silla (1998)

Book cover of People Are Not the Same: Leprosy and Identity in Twentieth-Century Mali by Eric Silla

This book follows an academic tradition that illuminates the historical experience of everyday people, particularly individuals and groups hidden from the limited vision of African nationalist historiography. Eric Silla, scholar and leading member of a think-tank on African Affairs in the US Department of State, brings his skill to an assessment of leprosy, otherwise known as Hansen disease, in Mali.
