... Recent anthropological and interdisciplinary engagement with the subject of friendship has focused on its overlaps with related forms of social organization such as biological and ritual kinship (Diallo & Guichard, forthc.;Guichard et al., 2003;Schmidt et al., 2007), joking relationships (Bellagamba, 2006;Diallo, 2006;Tamari, 2006), or patron-client relationships (Descharmes et al., 2011). Another body of literature has centered on friendship in an African migrant context, examining the types of sociality and social security it engenders (Grätz, 2004;Meier, 2004;Rohregger, 2006 ...
FRIENDSHIP AMONG PASTORAL FULBE IN NORTHWEST CAMEROON

This article discusses perceptions and practices of friendship among the Mbororo (pastoral Fulbe) in northwest Cameroon. The concept of friendship is culturally and socially embedded, and the author highlights the flexible and multilayered character of friendship in Cameroon. While in Europe and the U.S. the voluntary and emotional connotations of friendship are stressed, for the Mbororo, it includes a significant economic component and may overlap with other relationships, such as kinship and patron-client relations. Furthermore, Mbororo women and men differ in their perspectives and practices of friendship. Finally, the author argues that interethnic friendships between Mbororo pastoralists and their farming neighbors are of an individual nature and that in the face of conflict, their integrative capacity is limited.

Friendship, descent and alliance in Africa: Anthropological perspectives
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2014
Friendship, descent and alliance are basic forms of relatedness that have received unequal attention in social anthropology. Offering new insights into the ways in which friendship is conceptualized and realized in various sub-Saharan African settings, the contributions to this volume depart from the recent tendency to study friendship in isolation from kinship. In drawing attention to the complexity of the interactions between these two kinds of social relationships, the book suggests that analyses of friendship in Western societies would also benefit from research that explores more systematically friendship in conjunction with kinship. © 2014 Martine Guichard, Tilo Grätz and Youssouf Diallo.

The essay focuses on central dimensions of friendship in anthropology and on related problems of definition and methodology with respect to African societies. The paper recalls relevant classical contributions and advances the debates on the relations of friendship to kinship, friendship to patron-client relations and friendship in ritualised and institutionalised structures. Furthermore, it addresses recent studies dealing with friendship against the backgrounds of interethnic relations, migration, politics and urban spaces as well as in relation to gender and age. Friendship is understood as a cluster of social practices, comprising both emotional and functional aspects and differing in its degree of intimacy. We discuss friendship as a universal feature of social life, embedded in cultural, economical, political and moral contexts, thus varying in its local practices and meanings. We argue in favour of innovative methodological approaches, addressing both the divergence of analytical terms and emic perceptions as well as the ambivalences of friendship as a precarious social relationship. A social anthropology of friendship should aim at describing and analysing local logics of friendship relations in contemporary African societies. Researchers should follow its dynamics in changing social situations, look at the interplay between individual agency and structural constraints and compare different friendship patterns.
