Abstract: | This volume is the result of two workshops held in Nairobi in 2011 and 2013 in a collaboration between Japanese and African researchers. The workshops were entitled 'Approaches and methodologies of field research in Africa' (September 2011), and 'Mobility, hybridity and the way to co-existence: re-structuring daily life in rural and urban African societies' (February 2013). In these workshops researchers attempted to 're-discover' Africa, through new approaches and angles, in line with the enormous social changes that took place on the continent in the last decades.
