VL - 24 IS - 3 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD). Notes, ref., sum.

It argues that Cameroon's engagement with China has resulted in short-term benefits for consumers but undermined long-term, sustainable economic development. The article concludes that unless China genuinely pursues its promised policies of "mutual respect" and "win-win gain", voices of protest will only grow louder in Cameroon and other African nations.

VL - 58 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This article utilizes the Actor Network Theory (ANT) to guide thinking about the relationship between nature and society and how this relationship is severed by conservation-induced displacement. ANT's view of interconnectivity between networks is used to argue that a network is only stable as long as actors remain faithful to it. In the case of the displaced Baka people of the Dja reserve area in east Cameroon, resistance to conservation through adaptive practices following displacement, reversed or disrupted the socially predetermined order of their network, which in this case meant marginalization of the displaced. The marginal scale of the adaptation to change raises doubts over the sustainability of adaptation to post-displacement livelihoods. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum. in English and French.

VL - 24 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Frustrated by decades of authoritarian rule, political repression, economic mismanagement, poverty, soaring unemployment and other related injustices, the youth in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya rose up against the state, while Algeria and Morocco narrowly escaped the events of the so-called 'Arab Spring". This quest for political reform is an indication of a great collective shift that has the potential to reverberate throughout the African continent. However, to what extent can the youth succeed in bringing about the much-desired transition to democracy? This article focuses on the North African youth uprising and the quest for political reform in Africa. It examines the core issues of the youth uprising and the challenges to the attainment of political reform. A youth uprising can lead to genuine political reform if the major challenges in building new democratic forms of governance which can address economic disparity, protection of human rights, justice and security, can be overcome.

VL - 32 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Olive Schreiner's 'The story of an African farm' is well known for its feminist aspirations, particularly epitomized through its main female protagonist, Lyndall. Despite the novel's arguably ground-breaking and revolutionary feminist politics, Schreiner's first full-length work has often been criticized for explicit racism and exclusionary tactics. Using Lyndall as a springboard, the author counteracts these claims. Analysing Lyndall's own engagements with feminist discourses in the novel - love and marriage, motherhood, empire and processes of racialization - this article argues that the novel's feminism is both transracially and transnationally applicable. Such a reading is furthermore indicative of a need to expand Schreiner scholarship beyond the traditional placement of her work within First Wave feminist discourse, and to situate 'The story of an African farm' within a broader, on-going debate on transnational and transracial female politics, already evident at the end of the nineteenth century.

VL - 32 IS - 1 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - The case has been made that through the post-apartheid transition, notions such as 'South African literature' have come to outlive their usefulness. Transnationality, the global knowledge economy, and the influence of poststructural and postcolonial theory are cited as factors which have diminished the analytic worth of a nationally defined canon. Critics have also pointed to an emergent cultural heteroglossia associated with the loss of the anti-apartheid project. Since 1994, many literary and popular texts written within or about South Africa, or by South African authors, have explored a wide range of themes and genres, lending support to this view. The author argues, however, that growing instability around matters of social justice will continue to impose itself on the attention of writers, and that the conventions of South African writing will be modified rather than abandoned. He argues further that a case can be made for a criticism that is cognisant of the conversation between local and global, but is equally cognisant of how the national space itself both concentrates and splinters the material with which it engages by more cross-cutting forms of theory. The argument is related to 'post-transition' narratives that show elements of continuity and rupture: 'Rumours' by Mongane Wally Serote (2013. Auckland Park: Jacana Media); 'Wall of days' by Alastair Bruce (2012. Cape Town: Umuzi); The 'smell of apples' by Mark Behr (1995. London: Abacus); and 'Bad sex' by Leon de Kock (2011.

VL - 3 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - One of the major concerns of governments in Africa in general and Ghana in particular is unemployment and underemployment. Most developing countries, especially African countries, compete to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) into their economies with the desire of improving the employment level and securing sustainable development leading to economic growth. In view of this, the creation of jobs for the unemployed and technology transfer through Chinese investments has become complementary since Chinese FDI can be an important source for employment, economic growth and transformation processes. This study focuses on the contribution of China's FDI on employment generation in the building and construction sector of Ghana. The results show that, Chinese FDI flows, through direct effects on the building and construction sector of Ghana, have positive and significant effects on employment growth. This means that Chinese FDI contributes to an efficient workforce which benefits the economy through high productivity and leads to growth in individual household incomes. Bibliogr., notes, sum.

VL - 58 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Across the globe, voluntary labor is a prominent mode of engagement within development, humanitarian, and philanthropic activities, political activism, social justice movements, and religious organizations, and it is increasingly being used in welfare and health care provision. Volunteerism, defined as the free giving of an individual's labor, time, and energy to a larger cause, collective goal, or public good, carries assumptions about altruism, freedom, and a "politics of virtue", underscoring the political and social significance of volunteering. It has been tied to political and social projects, and promoted by state and non-state institutions for various ends. The power of volunteerism is particularly apparent in East Africa, the subject of this ASR Focus, where volunteering has a long and rich history and voluntary labor has been reinterpreted through various citizenship and political projects since the colonial period. Articles included in this ASR Focus: Introduction: volunteer labor - pasts and futures of work, development, and citizenship in East Africa (Hannah Brown and Ruth J.

VL - 32 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Throughout her long career, Doris Lessing frequently wrote about Rhodesia or Zimbabwe, often giving the country fictional names, including Anna Wulf's Central Africa in 'The golden notebook'. Anna dismisses her account of the country as falsified by nostalgia, but her 'Black notebook' contains energetic debates about what the country would be like if blacks emerged victorious from an anti-colonial war. 'African laughter', her account of her visits to Zimbabwe in the 1980s and early 1990s, allows Lessing to consider how accurately these debates anticipated what the country became. Her narrative moves through delight at the new nation to disillusionment with the opportunities that are being wasted. Disillusionment is also the dominant mood of 'The sweetest dream', a novel partly set in the newly independent Zimlia, and Zimbabwe is explicitly discussed in an influential article called 'The tragedy of Zimbabwe'. In the 1990s Lessing wrote the two volumes of her autobiography, 'Under my skin' and 'Walking in the shade'; several episodes of the Rhodesian section of the first of these are re-worked in sketches in her final book, 'Alfred and Emily', part novella and part memoir of a Rhodesia that her parents experienced as an extension of the trauma of the First World War. In each of these different types of narrative Lessing assumes a different subjective point of view, and there is no single objective account of the country. Her narrative choices require that Lessing's versions of Zimbabwe are nearly always provisional. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

The smooth transition of power, uncharacteristic of Nigeria, was hailed by the international community as a victory. However, did Muhammadu Buhari win because Jonathan lost or did Jonathan lose because Buhari won? This article argues that Jonathan's growing unpopularity gave Buhari the win, and that Boko Haram played a major role in the president's sinking support. The 2015 presidential election was thus a win for both democracy and Boko Haram. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 24 IS - 3 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This article is about the management of security incidents in organisations and companies which are under the protection of private security personnel, whether in-house or contracted. Incidents can be defined as accidental or anecdotal (bird flies into a camera) to a violation of law or company policy. Managing security incidents is one of the key functions of a private security service provider. The purpose of this study is to explore the management of security incidents and the information related thereto, identify shortcomings and find solutions for managing these shortcomings. Interviews were conducted with security managers, security officials and stakeholders serving various organisations as security service providers in Gauteng, South Africa. It was found that security incidents are handled in a routine way by organisations from the different sectors. One major shortcoming is that security incidents and the information related thereto are not managed by security service providers according to an operational framework or model with the required infrastructure and resources. The significance of this study is for security incidents to be managed correctly, so that the information related thereto may be captured accurately, analysed and used proactively and reactively to improve physical protection systems, develop preventative strategies and provide actionable information products in order to reduce crime, increase detection rates and prevent losses.

After decades of stagnant economic growth, good providers are hard to find. In this article the authors examine two strategies that women employ in an attempt to achieve economic security: nonmarital sex and transnational marriage. Though recent anthropological literature proposes a global transition toward companionate marriage, evidence from Dakar suggests that Senegalese women are prioritizing short-term material gain over longer-term projects of social reproduction. Transnational marriage and nonmarital sexual relationships illuminate women's new strategies to stabilize their social positions in increasingly precarious times.

VL - 58 IS - 3 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - The articles in this ASR Forum on African cinema aim at analyzing new critical approaches to African film, inspired in part by the work of film scholar / filmmaker Manthia Diawara, but also by critics such as Jonathan Haynes, Owookome Okome, Brian Larkin, Birgit Meyer, Carmela Garritano, and Moradewun Adejunmobi. Especially under the influence of Haynes, the critical orientation shifted initially to the development of new genres, with work on melodrama and the occult. As the genres have expanded in number and style, critical studies increasingly involve exploration of the material conditions of production and distribution and their impact on the creation of this new popular cinema, as well as its more recent evolution, or reinvention, as "New Nollywood". All of the articles were originally presented at the 2013 meeting of the African Studies Association in Baltimore, Maryland. Articles included: Introduction (Kenneth W. Harrow); Manthia Diawara's waves and the problem of the "authentic" (Kenneth W. Harrow); Neoliberal rationalities in old and new Nollywood (Moradewun Adejunmobi); New Nollywood: a sketch of Nollywood's metropolitan new style (Connor Ryan); The winds of African cinema (MaryEllen Higgins).

The first part of the study examines the theoretical debates associated with military socialisation and reintegration into civilian life. Hereafter, the findings are presented in terms of the experiences of MSDS privates serving in the infantry, those that have left, and the perceptions of employment agencies in terms of the marketability of military skills. The conclusion is reached that MSDS members experience their two years in the SANDF as life-changing, that this affects their ability to reintegrate back into civilian society, and that the skills acquired during military training is of limited market value. The conclusion is reached that more needs to be done to assist these young military veterans to adapt to civilian life and to augment their military experience with more marketable skills to enable them to find gainful employment.

VL - 24 IS - 3 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - The Constitutive Act of the African Union (AU) provides for the right of the continental body to intervene in the face of war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity. According to its formulation, Article 4(h) intervention entails military force, which is triggered when a target state fails to discharge its duty to protect its population from mass atrocities. Although Article 4(h) is an ambitious statutory commitment to intervene in a member state by the AU, the Libyan crisis in 2011 showed the ambivalence of the continental institution to act in a decisive and timely manner. The AU's failure to invoke Article 4(h) exposed the need for building the capacity and political will to intervene and to interpret Article 4(h). Therefore, the primary focus of this article is on how Article 4(h) should be interpreted. Flowing from the Pretoria Principles, which seek to provide clarity on the implementation of the AU's right of intervention, Article 4(h) should be viewed as a duty rather than a right to prevent or stop mass atrocities. The duty dimension of Article 4(h) derives from the international instruments that AU member states have ratified to prevent mass atrocities. Rather than being a paper tiger, Article 4(h) should be used in a proactive and timely manner as a military option available to the AU to persuade member states to prevent or halt atrocities. As a last resort, military force pursuant to Article 4(h) should aim at protecting the population at risk and pursuing the perpetrators in order to avoid contravening Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations (UN). Although military intervention can save lives in the short term, it cannot necessarily address the underlying, structural causes of atrocities, such as ethnic rivalries, economic inequalities and scramble for natural resources, among others. Therefore, the prevention of mass atrocities should not be equated with, or be seen through the prism of, Article 4(h) intervention alone. The focus should instead be on the entire spectrum of preventive strategies at the disposal of the AU in the face of mass atrocities, including the African human rights system and the African Peer Review Mechanism.

VL - 24 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This paper examines the rationale and centrality of private military and security companies (PMSCs) in humanitarian assistance operations in Sudan, asking why PMSCs are involved in humanitarian assistance operations in Sudan and what the principles underlying their activities are. To answer this question, the paper draws attention to the link between humanitarian crises and PMSC interventions. Where there is no meaningful alternative intervention, undergirded by humanitarian concerns that are also profit driven, PMSCs come in to provide the needed services. The protracted and complicated internal armed conflicts in Sudan, which have lasted for over two decades, have produced as many as 4,8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) - the single largest number in the world. The kind of humanitarian assistance operations provided by PMSCs in Sudan have become critical to the provision of much-needed services which were inadequately provided by governmental authorities at both unilateral and multilateral levels. This paper argues that the humanitarian crises in Sudan created a regime that permits humanitarian assistance operations by both state and non-state actors. Notes, ref., sum.

Nigeria has not enacted specific domestic law that is applicable throughout the federation, despite the United Nations mandate to all countries to adopt and enforce such laws by 2015. This article examines the causes and nature of domestic violence in Nigeria, and the legal reform needed to address the situation. In addition to library sources, the study used focus group discussions and individual interviews (involving the general population, key informants, legislators and traditional rulers) to discover that enacting specific national domestic violence legislation is necessary to address the problem in Nigeria, but enacting laws alone is not a magic bullet.

VL - 32 IS - 1 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This article considers black reflections on whiteness in some recent South African fiction, Julian de Wette's novel 'A Case of Knives' (2010. Cape Town: Umuzi) and Zoe Wicomb's 'Playing in the Light' (2006. Johannesburg: Umuzi). Central to these texts are elaborations on the idea of the quotidian. In these novels, everyday life appears through focalizing agents, which suggest how to intellectualize black people's dealings with the ethical dilemmas created by whiteness as a concept generated by apartheid's social engineering. The selected novels archive these accounts within the act of storytelling, especially as this is foregrounded in fantasy as a confidential 'return' to and an exorcizing of episodes of black depersonalization. Commenting on this type of reversion to the history of humiliation, the article relies on the image of the 'return to the harbour' - drawn from A Case of Knives.The suggestion is also that each relapse highlights 'fantasy' as ritual which manifests itself in those discourses in which black people are heard or seen, in private, revealing claims about how they outmanoeuvred whiteness. A Case of Knives depicts these tactics in tragi-comic tones inclining towards satirical representations of apartheid's delineation of whiteness. By contrast, Playing in the Light, which also reflects upon these machinations, explores in a nuanced way the sense of devastation that afflicts black people upon discovering the long-term consequences of European colonialism on black women and their nuclear families. Throughout this article, emphasis is placed on showing that, as seen through the ideas of the 'return' and of 'fantasy', the concept of ritual is fragile and paradoxical. This is because the selected novels intimate that ritual is destined to be retold in the terms that present blackness as a quintessential nervous condition. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 32 IS - 1 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This article analyses six anthologies of Namibian poetry dating from 1982 until 2005. It first discusses the role of poetry as a means of raising the political consciousness of participants in the Namibian war of liberation, and the tension between party-political propaganda and aesthetic merit. Due cognizance is taken of SWAPO's resolution to declare English as the official language at Independence, and the article explores the use of the English language in early and contemporary black Namibian poetry. The central focus is on evaluating the representation of issues relating to the quest for social justice in South West Africa/Namibia. This focus highlights the presence of 'the five faces of oppression' identified by Iris Young (in Sharon Gewirtz. 1998. Conceptualising social justice in education: mapping the territory. Journal of Educational Policy 13 (4): 469-470) in both the colonial and neo-colonial eras. Selected poems from the chosen anthologies representing the SWAPO cadres are analysed in relation to the colonial era. These deal with the motivations of various recruits, who were propelled by the desire to fight colonial injustice, which was manifested in the exploitation and marginalization of the black people of Namibia. Their sense of powerlessness led to the adoption of military force in the battle against imperialism, as violence seemed the only means through which political freedom could be attained. However, the defeat of the South African forces did not lead to an end to the exploitation: the new ruling elite seemed determined to preserve political privileges, rather than to pursue the original goals of the revolution. Selected poems from the more recent anthologies express the ongoing need to fight for equality, freedom and an end to exploitation in the political, economic and domestic spheres.

Rwanda and Ethiopia in particular are perplexing case studies of post-1990s governance. Both nations are characterized by high growth economies with significant state involvement and the formal institutions of democracy, but deeply troubling patterns of domestic governance. This article proposes a new category of authoritarianism called "developmental authoritarianism", which refers to nominally democratic governments that provide significant public works and services while exerting control over nearly every facet of society. The article then reflects upon the durability and implications of this form of governance. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum. in English and French.

VL - 58 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - More than five decades after independence, Africa still struggles with the legacies of colonial partition. On the territorial frontiers between the postcolonial inheritors of the two major colonial powers, Great Britain and France, the continuing impact of European colonialism remains most acute. On the one hand, the splitting of erstwhile homogeneous ethnic groups into British and French camps gave rise to new national identities; on the other hand, it circumvented any possibility of sovereignty via ethnic solidarity. To date, however, there has been no comprehensive assessment of the ethnic groups that were divided between English- and French-speaking states in West Africa, let alone the African continent writ large. This article joins postcolonial ethnography to the emerging field of comparative borderland studies. It argues that, although norms of state-based identity have been internalized in the Anglophone-Francophone borderlands, indigenous bases of association and behavior continue to define life along the West African frontier in ways that undermine state sovereignty. Although social scientists tend to focus on national- and sub-national-level analyses, and increasingly on the effects of globalization on institutional change, study of the African borderlands highlights the continuing importance of colonial legacies and grassroots-derived research.

VL - 24 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This article assesses South Africa's 20 years of democracy, which has frequently been bedevilled by local protests. This article is particularly interested in those unrest incidents that have been distinct for one reason or another. In South Africa, the surge in local unrest incidents is often linked to police behaviour, which has become increasingly militant and brutal when quelling protests. While the right to protest is constitutional, the damage caused during protest action can be immense owing to acts of violence. Protestors' resorting to violent protest action is often linked to increased frustrations as a result of the government's inability to live up to the expectations of marginalised and poor communities. While this article draws primarily on existing scholarly debates focusing on social protests, the primary objective is to examine the impact of unrest incidents on local protests in post-apartheid South Africa. The article further argues that 'spaces' for participation in local governance should be created so that citizens can become architects of development and their own future. Notes, ref., sum.

To depict a world renowned for its poverty, ignorance, vendettas, and implacable code of honor, Mustagab deploys the black humor and Swiftian sarcasm of the insider who knows his society only too well. When the stillness of a day's end is shattered by a single gunshot, poignant beauty merges seamlessly into horror, and when a police officer seeking to unravel a murder finds himself with more body parts than he knows what to do with, violence tips as easily into farce. In counterpoint, the author's often surrealist imagination explores the mysteries of a landscape where seductive women haunt dusty paths and a man may find himself crushed like a worm beneath another's foot. Elsewhere, the horizons of 'my village' expand to include other countries (the author worked in the Arabian Peninsula for a number of years), where equally disastrous consequences follow on folly and self-delusion. Previously almost unknown in English, Mustagab's voice is both original and disturbing."--Back cover SN - 977-416-707-4 AV - AFRIKA Lit.10066 Y2 - 2016/06/01/ M3 - 397605862 ER - TY - JOUR ID - 4 T1 - Uranium yellowcake trafficking incidents in Africa : proliferation threat or non-proliferation opportunity?

VL - 24 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - The perpetuation of an otherwise astute fissile material safeguards model by the current non-proliferation regime raises a number of concerns, not least the efficacy of the approach in reducing clandestine weapon developments and the nuclear terrorism threat. Mindful of potential shifts in illicit nuclear material and weapon acquisition, following an excessive focus on fissile material safeguards and the proliferation of nuclear weapon technology, this article uses proliferation trend and scenario analysis in a bid to identify potential proliferation threats and non-proliferation opportunities. The results of the article's assessment of reported incidents (1992-2013) involving theft, unauthorised possession, and attempts to smuggle or sell highly enriched uranium (HEU), plutonium, low-enriched uranium (LEU), natural uranium and uranium yellowcake reveal a decline in occurrences involving fissile material but an increase in uranium yellowcake incidents, particularly in Africa. Presumptions that yellowcake may have provided the newest threat to clandestine weapon developments and nuclear terrorism wane amid concerns over possible biases in reporting, scepticism over an organised and demand-driven nuclear black market, and the difficulties of non-state actors development of crude nuclear weapons off the tedious yellowcake conversion-enrichment-fabrication pathway. To secure Africa's uranium yellowcake from potential proliferators, the article proposes concerted domestic, regional and multilateral non-proliferation efforts. App., notes, ref., sum.

It provides an overview of the complex forces and geopolitical dynamics that affected the deployment of UNAMID and shaped its unique hybrid character. It mainly highlights those primary geopolitical factors that hindered the full deployment of UNAMID. It is concluded that this period was a showcase for the newly established AU and its support for its member states, as well as a new approach for the international community to maintain international peace and security in alliance with regional organisations.

VL - 24 IS - 3 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Based on a literature review, this article examines the dynamics in pastoral systems, natural resource conservation and conflict in the drylands of East Africa. It argues that, in the context of East Africa, pastoralism and biodiversity conservation in general are distinct forms of land use that are complementary rather than competitive. The present state of natural resource degradation in the drylands is explained in terms of factors related to ecological and demographic pressures, land use conflicts and inefficient land administration policies. When the customary pastoral institutions of land administration and resource management are threatened, the problem of degradation is further exacerbated and violent conflicts occur among multiple resource users, including pastoralists, farmers and the state. The article recommends the revitalisation, empowerment and recognition of pastoral institutions in a way that ensures effective synergy between the formal and customary structures of resource governance.

VL - 32 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - 'Transformation' and 'intellectual' are often terms of debased usage in political discourse. This has implications for conceptualizing and directing desirable socio-political development. In South Africa, the terms are often used in ways which intentionally or unintentionally avoid fundamental change by emphasizing superficial markers of progress and downplaying critical engagement. By analysing several recent texts in which the term transformation is used in different ways in South Africa, and by exploring the history of the word in socio-political discourse, this article suggests some of the challenges which a rich sense of the word might have for the project of socio-political change. It then establishes the importance of the intellectual and of intellectual engagement for transformation. It refers to and explores briefly the work of some prominent intellectuals in post-colonial situations, with a particular focus on recent instances in South Africa concerning justice and ubuntu. Against this background, the article then sketches something of the transformation necessary in South African universities if they are to fulfil their function as institutions both promoting intellectual engagement and fostering the ability to undertake that engagement.

VL - 32 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This article explores chaos or 'mania' as a leitmotif in 'Memorandum: a story with paintings' by Marlene van Niekerk and Adriaan van Zyl (2006. Cape Town: Human & Rousseau). The author argues that 'mania' is an evocation of the Dionysian forces in life and art: what Friedrich Nietzsche relates to the destructive-transformative power of primordial creative energy, and the urge to cosmic interconnectedness. The tale of Johannes Frekerikus Wiid is a Nietzschean quest in which the protagonist's reconstruction of an overheard conversation - a 'word and allusion mania' (2006, 35) - unexpectedly becomes the catalyst for his transformation into a creator and artist. This article focusses on the death of Wiid's interlocutors (Messrs X and Y) and how their breaths become divine 'afflatus' for Wiid's imagined conclusion to their conversation: an allusive and enigmatic dialogue of their final passage across a personalized river Styx to their cosmic nest. This dialogue is intermediated by Van Zyl's 'Hospital Diptych III', a painting of an empty hospital bed alongside a painting of a tempestuous sea. This visual text is positioned at a critical point in the written narrative and invites a discussion of the relationship between image and text. The mutual interdependence of image and text in Memorandum is exemplary of Peter Wagner's notion of the 'iconotext': 'an artefact in which the verbal and visual signs mingle to produce rhetoric that depends on the copresence of words and images' (1996. Icons, texts, iconotexts: essays on ekphrasis and intermediality. Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 16). In conclusion, the author considers the reciprocity between image and text, and how this contributes to the significance of Wiid's quest. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

VL - 24 IS - 3 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Analysis of the failures of African security forces generally focuses on structural issues such as corruption of senior leadership, insufficient equipment and training, and coup d'‚tat fears driving mistrust of armies that are too strong or effective. However, less examined is the role that sub-state identity plays; using Libya, South Sudan, and Mali as case studies, this paper examines how ethnicity inhibits the development of national armies, divides them, and exposes a critical flaw that adversaries are able to exploit. Given the increasingly ethnic nature of conflict throughout the world, and the rising threat that ethnic conflicts in Africa pose to regional and Western partners, it may be prudent for researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders to examine the critical role that sub-state identity plays in undermining African security forces.

At the same time, Mawolo is drawn to the departed chief's daughter, Makemeh, who for some reason doesn't seem to be too concerned about her missing father. Intrigued, Mawolo decides to stay longer than required - and even attempts to take charge of the town..

VL - 24 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Notwithstanding the embrace of modern institutions of social control, traditional social control mechanisms still enjoy patronage in Nigeria. This paper examines the traditional structures of social control in Iraye-Oke, Lagos. In-depth interviews, key informant interviews and case studies were used to obtain data from participants. Findings established the functionality of traditional structures in checking crime and its preference over the use of modern social control structures. Traditional structures used include: traditional spiritualists who provide measures to reduce victimisation; the family courts where adjudication takes place involving elders and family chiefs; and the apex traditional court, presided over by the king, where cases like murder, land disputes, adultery and fornication are decided. Traditional extrajudicial measures involve the invocation of ancestral spirits at shrines. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 32 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This article reads Leah Chishugi's 'A long way from paradise' (2010. London:Virago) in the light of its portrayal of the traumatic aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, and how this genocide almost irreparably damaged the traumatized survivors' personalities. Of particular interest is Chishugi's heightened sense of suspicion of her adopted environs as being full of 'human landmines' (a euphemism for the insensate interahamwe Hutu militia who mercilessly carried out the 1994 genocide in Rwanda) and, therefore, as places not safe to stay in. The article argues that a sense of insecurity, and one's inability to cope with a traumatic past, often reinforce such paranoia. It also argues that the path to genuine reconciliation and true reconstruction in the contested world of post-genocide Rwanda requires all Rwandans to deal with such paranoia and related ethnic (post)memories.

VL - 32 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - In the 1980s, the criticism of Nadine Gordimer's fiction was dominated by symptomatic historicist readings, despite the obvious modernist provenance of her novels. Using Stephen Clingman's scholarship as a point of departure, this article seeks to clarify some of the ways in which this contradiction has compromised commentary on her work. It also demonstrates that Gordimer's oeuvre, essays and public pronouncements contributed to the scholarly confusion. The author argues that, among its other consequences, her dual commitment to Marxist teleology and high-cultural modernism forecloses on the future she can imagine for white (South) Africans living in postcolonial contexts or in the post-apartheid dispensation. This limitation is examined through an analysis of two of her novels, A guest of honour (1971) and Get a life (2005). Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 58 IS - 2 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This article explores the links between autochthony discourses and physical violence through a case study of a Mai-Mai group in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. While this group garners support by employing such discourses and related tropes of autod‚fense (self-defense), there are clear limits to the capacity of these narratives to mobilize for and legitimize violent action. Furthermore, much of the violence committed by the Mai-Mai is not informed directly by notions of autochthony, but is rather geared toward the consolidation of power. This observation should act as a caution against the a priori coding of violence according to the ways it is discursively framed by its protagonists.

This paper estimates the impact of changes in China's investment growth on SSA's exports. Although rising trading links with China have allowed African countries to diversify their export base across countries, away from advanced economies, they have also led SSA countries to become more susceptible to spillovers from China. Based on panel data analysis, a 1 percentage point increase (decline) in China's domestic investment growth is associated with an average 0.6 percentage point increase (decline) in SSA countries' export growth. This impact is larger for resource-rich countries, especially oil exporters. These effects could be mitigated, however, to the extent that countries can reorient their exports AV - Elektronisch document Y2 - 2016/04/01/ M3 - 399365001 L3 - http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2013/wp13250.pdf ER - TY - BOOK ID - 72 T1 - Sources orales et recherches historiques dans quelques institutions et pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest A1 - Gayibor,Th‚odore Nicou‚ Lodjou A1 - Gomgnimbou,Moustapha Y1 - 2013/// N1 - Chiefly in French with some text in English Includes bibliographical references KW - 2011 KW - archives KW - conference papers (form) KW - historiography KW - oral traditions KW - research centres KW - West Africa RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 206 CY - Cotonou PB - Les Editions du Flamboyant U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - Volume 2 des actes du colloque organis‚ … Agbodrafo (Togo) du 24 au 26 mai 2011 sur le thŠme 'Sources orales et histoire africaine.

VL - 4 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - This study examines the determinants and policies for attracting Chinese FDI to Africa by specifically analyzing major characteristics, trends and developments in the economic engagement between Guinea and China. Guinea's selection as the case study is justified by the country's experience of macroeconomic instability and social policy since independence. By considering mechanisms that play important roles in attracting FDI: market size, economic growth, employment, degree of trade openness and trade policy of the recipient country, the results show positive R-squared-a valid regression. However, all of these coefficients of determination are still not significant enough. The disparity to attract investment is assessed from geographical location, infrastructure, corruption levels, and income yields to implementation of the policies by the governments. It recommends policies at both national and bilateral levels in order to increase large Chinese FDI inflows towards Guinea and improve the forecast for macroeconomic and constant development.

VL - 13 IS - 1 U2 - w01 U3 - Abstracts available N2 - The last two to three decades have witnessed significant transformation in West Africa's relations to the Arabian Gulf and Asia. While ties to countries such as Saudi Arabia are historic, economic liberalization since the 1980s has introduced new trading partners and some unexpected developments. The outcome of these recent developments can be startling: so in Ghana, for example, India and China have overtaken the United Kingdom, the former colonial power, in investments and the number of operating companies. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) ranks third in the cumulative value of foreign direct investments in Ghana since 1994. This paper is an historian's attempt to provide context, some perspective and to probe the implications of these emerging patterns for the political economy of West Africa. It uses Ghana under the Kufuor regime (2000-2008) as a case study of how one West African government engaged the new economic opportunities and the growing importance of Arab and Asian trading partners and investors in the climate of South-South cooperation.

The findings are that the increase in imports from China initially broadened access to trading for the poor, creating short-term improvements in livelihoods, but competition is driving down profit margins, and restricting the trade to a survival mechanism for many today. Thus it has provided limited long-term potential as an economic platform for national development and poverty reduction. The findings are discussed in terms of structuration theory and in terms of alternative conceptualizations of informal trade in Africa. Bibliogr., sum.
