I have focused on three \u201cmoments\u201d of this engagement. Firstly, his formative encounter with anthropology in the 1930s and early 1940s, when as a primary school teacher in colonial Senegal, Dia conducted ethnographic studies of religious practices and funerary rites. Secondly, between the 1950s and early 1960s, when Dia drew decisively on anthropological writings to develop an account of African economic history and the \u201chuman economy\u201d. Finally, I have examined the place of anthropology in a series of works published after his release from political imprisonment in 1974, notably\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00c9mancipation des \u00e9conomies captives\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1975) and\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Socio-anthropologie de l\u2019Islam\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1979). Anthropology emerges as central to Dia\u2019s thought in providing a picture of African societies as dynamic and creative rather than governed by timeless tradition. Secondly, it drew attention to the concrete local realities which were, for Dia, the crucial starting point for the construction of a \u201cnew humanism\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_3_4 3_4 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:75%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.56%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.56%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Isaac Stanley<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isaac Stanley is a socio-cultural anthropologist, writing and researching at the intersection of anthropology, intellectual history and economic thought. His PhD project, supported by an ESRC studentship, interrogates changing imaginaries and practices of solidarity in contemporary Senegal. In particular, he is focusing on a set of state initiatives seeking to promote and formalise the \u00absocial and solidarity economy\u00bb: i.e. cooperatives and other forms of (largely female) collective enterprise. Through ethnographic engagement with the various actors involved &#8211; from bureaucrats, academics and activists to informal groupings of female producers\/vendors and the musicians who animate their life-cycle ceremonies &#8211; he explores the competing meanings these interventions take on in a wider context of contestation around economic justice, neo-colonialism and gender relations.

A particularly interesting figure in this regard is Mamadou
