The continent's realities and aspirations, its achievements and difficulties are far more complex and manifold than a first glance from the outside or the daily newsfeed might make us believe. In the University on Saturdays four of Basel University's academics working in the field of African Studies provide an insight into their research and deepen our understanding of contemporary African societies and cultures and their interplay with global developments.
