Shortly After Independence From France In 1960, The People Living Along The Sahel - A Long, Thin Stretch Of Land Bordering The Sahara - Became The Subjects Of Human Rights Campaigns And Humanitarian Interventions. Just When Its States Were Strongest And Most Ambitious, The Postcolonial West African Sahel Became Fertile Terrain For The Production Of Novel Forms Of Governmental Rationality Realized Through Ngos. The Roots Of This 'nongovernmentality' Lay Partly In Europe And North America, But It Flowered, Paradoxically, In The Sahel.
