Chipolopolo Slays Les Elephants

Over at the FPA Africa Blog I am still trying to wrap my head around Zambia's victory in the African Cup of Nations. That stands as not only one of the great all time upsets, but as one of the great all-time sports stories.

The Road to Carolina

If you're going to be anywhere near the Research Triangle in North Carolina this weekend, I'd encourage you to swing by the South East Regional Seminar in African Studies (SERSAS) and the South East Africanist Network (SEAN) Conference. The main program will take place on Saturday at the University of North Carolina's Fedex Global Education Center. The conference theme is "Border Crossings, Migrations, and Interventions," but panels will deviate from those themes. I'm on the panel and would love to meet any readers who might be in the area.
