DESCRIPTION:Teraanga is a pivotal concept from Senegalese culture embodying
  hospitality\, generosity\, and respect. In Teraanga Republic\, Emily Jenan
  Riley delves into how Senegalese women\, who constitutionally make up half
  of the country's elected representatives\, transform their private social 
 skills into public governance strategies.\n\n \n\nRiley provides an intimat
 e look at the lives and careers of several prominent Senegalese women polit
 icians\, including Ayda Mbóoj\, Aysata Tall Sall\, Mously Jaxate\, and Amin
 ata Touré. She demonstrates that the parité movement's triumphs and the sus
 tained political influence of these women hinge on their adept negotiations
  of teraanga. These women seamlessly blend public political gestures with p
 rivate acts of belonging and reciprocity\, whether hosting social events\, 
 offering financial support to followers\, or strengthening social and famil
 ial bonds through personalized greetings and anecdotes.\n\n \n\nTeraanga Re
 public challenges our perceptions of governance\, gender\, authority\, poli
 tics\, and religion on a global scale. Riley unveils the importance of cont
 emporary patronage in Senegal and highlights the forms of governance that S
 enegalese women envision for themselves and their communities.\n\n \n\nAbou
 t the author\n\nEmily Jenan Riley is an assistant professor and researcher 
 in the Center for Asian and African Studies at El Colegio de México. She ho
 lds a PhD in cultural anthropology from Michigan State University and a BA 
 in anthropology from Oregon State University.
