My first talk in French in a long while was at Fordham University where I was invited to present my new book, Partenaires inégaux : fondations américaines et universités en Afrique (Fondation maison des sciences de l’homme), to students in international relations and French studies.

I was very impressed by the students’ mastery of the French language, and their interest for Africa and international development. Thanks to Isaie Dougnon et Andrew Clark for the invitation!
