A gem from Chinese state media in 2016: a clerk at WuHan’s Registry of Marriage was awarded by the government for lying to couples seeking divorce that the office printer was not working/network down, thus thwarting over 900 cases of potential divorces. – at Sydney, New South Wales

In latest CSSAAME issue, I wrote about Dr. Akiki Nyabongo’s global life, expansive career, and way of revealing the limiting categories into which global narratives slot African intellectuals. Grateful to everyone who helped with this! 3-mo free access: tinyurl.com/4pdycpc2
