This dissertation examines how Islamic and secular schooling figure into youths’ negotiations of modern personhood and the idiosyncrasies and challenges of contemporary Senegalese life. It is based on 22 months of field research in Dakar, Senegal and was funded by the Social Science Research Council, the American Council of Learned Societies, and Emory University (the Graduate School Fund for Internationalization and the African Studies Association). Drawing from Marxist educational theory, the dissertation suggests that contemporary education serves both to potentially enable young people in Senegal and as a source of much frustration and disillusionment. This lived reality of schooling undercuts state and international development discourse, which claim that education is the key to national prosperity and to the realization of people’s personal goals for success.
