Bio/Research
Coyle is working on a book titled Fires of Gold: Law, Land, and Sacrificial Labor in Ghana, an ethnography of the often hidden violence and cultural transformation in the penumbra of Ghana's gold mining -- a signal sovereign dilemma and "poisoned chalice" for postcolonial Africa. She is also at work on a second book titled Soul's Vision: Truth, Temporality, and Ritual Power in Africa, a comparative anthropological study of the experiential and philosophical dimensions of ritual subjectivity and veracity. In addition, she is writing a collection of poetry, gathered under the name Aslant.
