New Annotated Bibliography on Deindustrialization in Africa
This spring, Concordia MA student and DePOT RA Mauton Avoseh has been working on an annotated bibliography on deindustrialization studies in Africa which is now available on our website!
Mauton is a master’s student in the Department of History at Concordia University. Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, he completed his undergraduate degree at Lagos State University, Nigeria, where he studied History and International Studies. Thematically, he is interested in urban history and African history. His research activities revolve around how colonialism shaped the trajectory of African cities and how it informed urban planning, culture, and intergroup relations in the urban space. Additionally, he loves reading about Afrobeats, African music, informal cross-border trades, transnational identity, contemporary African politics, and the politics of climate change.
