  abstract = {{D}espite being central to the development of {S}aharan regional connectivity, northern {C}had has been closed to researchers since the late 1960s and thus remains virtually unknown to scholarship. {B}ased on long-term fieldwork, {T}he {V}alue of {D}isorder is an original and in-depth account of the area and its {T}ubu majority inhabitants. {J}ulien {B}rachet and {J}udith {S}cheele examine trans-border connectivity and trade; civil war and rebellion; wealth creation and dispersal; labour and gender relations; and aspirations to moral autonomy in northern {C}had from an internal point of view - a point of view that in turn participates in a dynamic process of regional interdependence. {V}ividly ethnographic, the book gives precedence to local categories of value, while asking broader questions about the nature of non-state regional political organisation. {Q}uestions that inform current political developments in the {S}ahara more widely, and have the potential to challenge key concepts in {S}aharan studies and the social sciences.},
