The Africa Yearbook, published by Brill, covers major domestic political developments, the foreign policy and socio-economic trends in sub-Sahara Africa - all related to developments in one calendar year. Volume 18 of the Africa Yearbook covers developments in 2021. Jon Abbink wrote the chapters on Somalia and Ethiopia, while Klaas van Walraven authored the chapter on Niger.
This book is based on Tamia Botes's Master's thesis 'Where Have the Midwives Gone? Everyday Histories of Voetvroue in Johannesburg', for which she received the 2021 Africa Thesis Award. The 'voetvrou' is a black autonomous midwife who looks after the health of and nurtures new life in her community in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg.
