VL - 45 IS - 2 U2 - w15 N2 - This article compares Chinua Achebe's first novel - 'Things fall apart' - with its main screen counterpart and highlights the reasons for the huge success of this televised program, revealing some of the ingredients behind the success of Nollywood films and helping to get a better understanding of their content and message. The novel was written in 1958 and centres on Okonkwo, a respected Igbo leader, wrestler and farmer. During his life British colonialism and Christian missionaries bring an end to Igbo independence. In the end he realizes that his clan will not go to war against the white men and he hangs himself. The seminal text has, over the years, inspired several adaptations: 1. a dramatic radio program, 'Okonkwo', by the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (1961); 2. a film produced in the United States in 1971, blending 'Things fall apart' with 'No longer at ease' (1960); 3. a Nigerian, German, and American co-production, using scenes from 'Things fall apart' as flashbacks to provide background to the political and economic woes of postcolonial Nigeria; and 4. a television adaptation (1986). This television adaptation revealed some of the traits that would become part of Nollywood films: a deep-seated interest in history, theme songs reinforcing the message of the film, the ancestral village as a place to return to in order to reconnect to one's roots, and Igbo-English code-mixing and code-switching.

VL - 45 IS - 2 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Through a focus on education and literacy, this essay examines the relationship between missions and Anglophone African literature and teases out the ways in which missions, as put to work by African subjects, enabled new practices of freedom, becoming the ambiguous ally of anticolonial movements and even Marxism itself. Drawing on the early novels and recently published autobiographical texts of Chinua Achebe ('The education of a British-protected child') and Ngg wa Thiong'o ('Dreams in a time of war: a childhood memoir'), this essay demonstrates that while religious missions were surely implicated in colonialism, they have also been central to Africans' own narratives of improvement ranging from the reformist to the radical, particularly when the horizon of improvement was decolonization. Postcolonial discourse generally points to the role of missions in political empire and the colonization of African culture and consciousness, negating the victim's capacity to even see the scene of his dispossession. While that critique has been a necessary response to Western narratives of Africa, it has also obscured their place within the anticolonial imagination. Somewhat akin to Marxism in this sense, Christianity was a discourse from without, which fuelled emancipatory narratives generated from within Africa. Ngg and Achebe each offer a way of critiquing and rethinking Christianity not to dismantle it entirely, but to reassemble it toward the needs of the African present as defined by Africans.

This article examines the case of Aicha, who as owner of a prosperous Sunn beauty salon that she operates in her living room, educates other women about reformist values and provides employment for female adherents. In this way, lesser-known female authorities like Aicha may spread more potent political and countercultural messages about state secularism, tarqas, and Muslim femininity for the movement than illustrious female Sunn leaders AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 392151421 L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.5192/215409930502199 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1161 T1 - Climate technology transfer at the local, national and global levels : analyzing the relationships between multi-level structures A1 - Tessema Abissa,Fisseha Y1 - 2014/// N1 - Dissertation University of Twente in order to obtain the degree of PhD in the year 2014 With bibliographical references and a summary in Dutch KW - climate change KW - dissertations (form) KW - environmental policy KW - Ethiopia KW - international cooperation KW - technology RP - NOT IN FILE EP - XII, 231 CY - Enschede PB - University of Twente U2 - w15 SN - 978-90-365-3642-4 AV - AFRIKA 48176 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 375548092 ER - TY - JOUR ID - 1125 T1 - Commemorating the "disappeared": maternal activism and the Algerian civil war in Fatima Bourega-Gallaire's 'La beaut‚ de l'ic“ne' A1 - Mehta,Brinda Y1 - 2014/// KW - Algeria KW - civil wars KW - drama KW - kidnapping KW - political repression KW - women writers RP - NOT IN FILE SP - 26 EP - 45 JA - Research in African Literatures: (2014), vol.45, no.2, p.26-45. VL - 45 IS - 2 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This essay examines the 'dangerous' role of women's theatre, as highlighted in 'La Beaut‚ de l'ic“ne,' Fatima Bourega-Gallaire's play on the Algerian civil war of the 1990s. The play exposes the violence of the 'black decade' and highlights the gendered aggressions that have scarred Algeria's postcolonial imaginary in a radicalized economy of fear, terror and censorship. La 'Beaut‚ de l'ic“ne' is an intense enactment of another chapter in the history of the civil war - the numerous abductions and an estimated 7,000 arbitrarily 'disappeared' civilians during a reign of terror initiated by armed militias and government security forces. The play adds another dimension to the civil war through two concomitant perspectives - the state's role and culpability during the war, on the one hand, and the revolutionary activism of the 'mothers of the disappeared' that inscribe their voices in a disavowed history. The plot demonstrates how colluding political and religious patriarchies violate their civic duties toward the people. The author further analyses the intersections between state terror and maternal power by examining the role of theatre in exposing human rights violations to determine whether the aggressed can be given a public voice and visibility. 'La Beaut‚ de l'ic“ne' thereby embraces an anti-war ethic, at the same time advocating a politics of peace through the suffering and courage of dissident mothers, who refuse to accept the disappearance of their loved ones.

VL - 45 IS - 2 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This essay seeks an answer to the question: "Wat does it entail, this postcolonial orality that is said to be informing postcolonial African fiction?" It does so by scrutinizing the narrative and discursive strategies inscribed within Aminata Sow Fall's works, grounded as they are in oral traditions. The aesthetics underlying such an active engagement with African traditions are primarily discussed in relation to the novels 'Le revenant' and 'L'appel des arŠnes'. The literary field in Africa came into emergence as a result of a collective yearning for lesser dependency on the symbolic constraints the Western centre is forcing on its margins. This essay argues that, through her 'smuggling' of narrative forms drawn from oral literature, Aminata Sow Fall's fiction testifies to an oral discursivity at work in the novel. On a formal plane, Sow Fall adaptively embeds genres, motifs, and narrative techniques in her novels culled from traditional literature. On a functional plane, she revives Wolof thought by crafting an ethnotext that suffuses the French text with multiple references to orality, in the form of proverbs, sayings, and syntactical features. A case in point is how Sow Fall, in most of her novels, pits the hero against an antihero, drawing largely on the structure of the African folktale. Bibliogr., notes, sum.

VL - 45 IS - 2 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article critiques an attempt by Polycarp Ikuenobe to locate the normative view of personhood in Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart' and to thereby glean support for it. According to Ikuenobe "it is the normative and not the metaphysical idea of personhood that is germane to African communal traditions." The author argues that Achebe's fiction is mute on matters concerning personhood and offers no support whatsoever for the normative view. He further argues that the considerations that occupy Ikuenobe and, more generally, proponents of the normative view have little or nothing to do with personhood. What has been largely ignored is the predominantly gendered nature of the normative view of personhood. Gender and personhood are two distinct concepts; while the latter utilizes qualities (e.g. agency, persistence, bare capacity for consciousness, etc.) that are non-gendered, the former is socially constructed and depends on contingent facts that ostensibly ground normative personhood. Concerns about gender cannot be perceived as secondary, as they are central to the social identities people acquire over the course of their lives. Bibliogr., notes, sum.

VL - 5 IS - 2 U2 - w15 N2 - Women in Hassniyya-speaking Sunn Muslim communities in Mauritania have long served as spiritual guides (muqaddamt) and as teaching scholars (limrbutt) for other women. Yet those who have done so have tended to come from a small number of prominent scholarly families. Furthermore, their activities have usually remained hidden outside of their immediate social circles and are actively excluded from the historical record. In recent years, however, a boom in Islamic learning has led to a diversification in the social backgrounds of women acting as Islamic teachers and spiritual guides. At the same time, women's spaces of Islamic learning have become increasingly visible. This article illustrates these changes in women's exercise of Islamic authority by recounting the life stories of several female spiritual guides and teaching scholars in Nouakchott who adhere to the Tijn Sufi order. It also draws on historical documents and government survey data to contextualize these changes. The stories presented here highlight important aspects of women's performance of religious authority. One is the centrality of the concept of knowing Islam, which entails familiarity with the Qur'an and a range of other Islamic texts. Another is the centrality of historical models, especially that of the Prophet's wife ''isha, in offering contemporary women justification for engaging in the teaching and production of Islamic knowledge. Ultimately, however, estimating changes in women's participation in Islamic knowledge and authority remains a difficult task because it has long been hidden and even actively erased from the historical record AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 392151464 L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.5192/215409930502225 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1162 T1 - Foreign Gods, Inc A1 - Ndibe,Okey Y1 - 2014/// KW - Nigeria KW - novels (form) KW - United States RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 330 CY - New York City PB - Soho Press U2 - w15 SN - 978-1-616-95313-3 AV - AFRIKA Lit.9878 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 374378185 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1151 T1 - From mtoto to mzee A1 - Maciel,Mervyn Y1 - 2014/// KW - autobiographies (form) KW - Indians KW - Kenya RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 162 CY - Sutton PB - Mervyn Maciel U2 - w15 AV - AFRIKA 48496 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 385954883 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1137 T1 - Hiding in plain sight A1 - Farah,Nuruddin Y1 - 2014/// KW - Kenya KW - novels (form) KW - Somalia RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 342 CY - New York PB - Riverhead Books, a member of Penguin Group (USA) U2 - w15 N2 - Adopting her niece and nephew when her half-brother is murdered in Mogadishu, Somalia, half-Somali photographer Bella disciplines her free-spirited nature and reevaluates her options when the children's mother resurfaces SN - 1-594-63336-3 AV - AFRIKA Lit.9876 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 390796085 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1140 T1 - Homegrown : poems A1 - Coates,Christine Y1 - 2014/// KW - poetry (form) KW - South Africa RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 69 CY - Cape Town PB - Modjaji Books U2 - w15 SN - 1-920590-81-1 AV - AFRIKA Lit.9870 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 390696552 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1132 T1 - Interpreting Ethiopia : observations of five decades A1 - Levine,Donald N.

While militancy is at the core of the contemporary feminization of Islam in a number of sub- Saharan African societies, in some places authority over religious knowledge is also in a process of being feminized. This article examines how, in the context of Islamic revivalism in C“te d'Ivoire, the feminization of Islam has evolved in the settings of voluntary associations. In particular, this article addresses the articulation between Islamic concepts of womanhood, including practices of veiling and ideological formations around them, and the construction of alternative modes of sociability in the context of the transformation of local religious organizations. In the 1990s, women's roles in the Ivorian Islamic revivalism were marked by instances of intensified activism, while the 2002 military conflict has encouraged the emergence of women- led NGOs. For some women, these NGOs have come to be the site of assertion of new forms of religious authority. Based on ethnographic data collected between 1992 to 2011 in the cities of Bouak‚ and Abidjan, the analysis focuses on the material and historical conditions of women's religious mobilization and authority AV - Elektronisch article Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 39215059X L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.5192/215409930502131 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1141 T1 - It's code red! : cartoons from Mail & Guardian, Sunday Times and The Times A1 - Zapiro A1 - Wills,Mike Y1 - 2014/// KW - cartoons (form) KW - politics KW - South Africa RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 160 CY - Auckland Park PB - Jacana Media; in association with Zaprock Productions U2 - w15 SN - 1-431-42099-9 AV - AFRIKA 48387 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 388659351 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1149 T1 - L'op‚ration de paix des Nations unies au Rwanda A1 - Bidoung,Noel Y1 - 2014/// N1 - Bibliogr.: p. 111-112. - Met bijl., noten KW - genocide KW - peacekeeping forces KW - peacekeeping operations KW - Rwanda KW - UN RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 115 CY - Paris PB - L'Harmattan U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - 1re partie.La genŠse des missions de l'ONU au Rwanda.Le conflit politico-ethnique rwandais et ses tentatives de solutions --L'intervention des Nations Unies dans la crise rwandaise. --2me partie.La premiŠre phase de l'op‚ration de maintien de la paix proprement dite ou l'‚chec de MINUAR I.La probl‚matique du mandat inadapt‚ et des cons‚quences au Rwanda --La probl‚matique du commandement de la force multinationale. --3me partie.L'op‚ration MINUAR II et le TPIR ou le sursaut tardif de la communaut‚ internationale.L'op‚ration Turquoise --Le d‚roulement de l'op‚ration Turquoise --L'op‚ration MINUAR II et le TPIR ou la fin de l'intervention arm‚e des Nations Unies au Rwanda et le jugement des responsables pr‚sum‚s du g‚nocide SN - 2-336-29942-9 pbk AV - AFRIKA 48164 Y2 - 2015/07/04/ M3 - 386035458 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1158 T1 - La justice congolaise face aux crimes internationaux commis en RDC A1 - Bakama Bope,EugŠne Y1 - 2014/// N1 - Bibliogr.: p. 225-234 KW - criminal courts KW - Democratic Republic of Congo KW - International Criminal Court KW - international criminal law KW - offences against human rights KW - punishment KW - war crimes RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 270 CY - Paris PB - L'Harmattan U2 - w15 T3 - Logiques juridiques SN - 2-343-03799-X pbk AV - AFRIKA 48283 Y2 - 2015/09/04/ M3 - 383650968 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1148 T1 - La priorit‚ agricole : RD Congo A1 - Tumba,Bob Matamba Y1 - 2014/// N1 - Bibliogr.: p. 192-195. - Met index KW - Africa KW - agricultural production KW - agricultural products KW - Democratic Republic of Congo KW - statistics KW - surveys RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 195 CY - Paris PB - L'Harmattan U2 - w15 T3 - Comptes rendus N2 - Introduction: la quˆte lancinate du d‚veloppement --chap. 1.

VL - 5 IS - 2 U2 - w15 N2 - Gendered metaphors of begetting, birth, milk nursing, maternal nurturing, virility, filial piety, patrilineage, and marital relationships have been central to Sufi imaginations of religious knowledge and authority for over a millennium. Contemporary adherents of the Fayda Tijniyya Sufi movement in Senegal continue to use these metaphors, picturing changing relations of religious authority in terms of familiar social realities. Although the most widely used metaphors are perhaps those of fatherhood for male leaders and motherhood for female leaders, a range of masculine and feminine metaphors can describe either men or women. The Fayda Tijniyya's founder, Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse, is best known to disciples as Baay (Father). The paternal metaphor is largely reserved for Shaykh Ibrahim's unique place in the movement. Yet women leaders overwhelmingly describe themselves in terms of maternal metaphors, presenting religious leadership as growing naturally out of their maternal qualities. At the same time, these women deconstruct gender distinctions using mystical discourses, sometimes presenting all Sufis as men and sometimes insisting that gender has no reality. Although some scholars have argued that Sufi gender metaphors value men and masculinity while devaluing women and femininity, this article shows that the effects of a metaphor must be sought in the performative context in which it is invoked. Ancient gender metaphors now serve to imagine new configurations of religious authority, including the growing number and influence of women Sufi leaders AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 392151480 L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.5192/215409930502275 ER - TY - JOUR ID - 1118 T1 - Piety, moral agency, and leadership: dynamics around the feminization of Islamic authority in C“te d'Ivoire A1 - LeBlanc,Marie Nathalie Y1 - 2014/// KW - authority KW - C“te d'Ivoire KW - Islam KW - leadership KW - NGO KW - ulema KW - women RP - NOT IN FILE SP - 131 EP - 165 JA - Islamic Africa: (2014), vol.5, no.2, p.131-165. VL - 5 IS - 2 U2 - w15 N2 - The existing literature has pointed out some of the ways in which Muslim women claim legitimacy and, in some cases, even authority within their communities, ranging from militancy within Islamic organizations to the mastery of religious knowledge. While militancy is at the core of the contemporary feminization of Islam in a number of sub- Saharan African societies, in some places authority over religious knowledge is also in a process of being feminized. This article examines how, in the context of Islamic revivalism in C“te d'Ivoire, the feminization of Islam has evolved in the settings of voluntary associations. In particular, this article addresses the articulation between Islamic concepts of womanhood, including practices of veiling and ideological formations around them, and the construction of alternative modes of sociability in the context of the transformation of local religious organizations. In the 1990s, women's roles in the Ivorian Islamic revivalism were marked by instances of intensified activism, while the 2002 military conflict has encouraged the emergence of women- led NGOs. For some women, these NGOs have come to be the site of assertion of new forms of religious authority. Based on ethnographic data collected between 1992 to 2011 in the cities of Bouak‚ and Abidjan, the analysis focuses on the material and historical conditions of women's religious mobilization and authority AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 39215093X L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.5192/215409930502167 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1145 T1 - Private security companies and political order in Congo : a history of extraversion A1 - Schouten,Peer Y1 - 2014/// N1 - Doctoral dissertation in peace and development research, School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg Bibliogr.: p. 227-256. - Met bijl., noten, samenvatting in het Engels en Zweeds KW - Democratic Republic of Congo KW - dissertations (form) KW - governance KW - international politics KW - political systems KW - private security services RP - NOT IN FILE EP - XV, 260 CY - Gothenburg PB - School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg U2 - w15 AV - AFRIKA 48171 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 387377468 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1144 T1 - Promoting civil society and democracy : tracing ideals in reality A1 - Kamstra,Jelmer Y1 - 2014/// N1 - Proefschrift Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen Bibliogr.: p. 185-192. - Met bijl., noten, samenvatting in het Nederlands en Engels KW - civil society KW - democracy KW - dissertations (form) KW - Ghana KW - NGO RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 205 CY - [S.l.

The emphasis is on 'duri duri' folktales. These are tales that communicate an ethics of virtue, referred to by the Guji as 'saffu', and regarded as essential to inter-human relationships. Far from being passive knowledge receivers, the Guji children are attentive listeners and engaged narrators. They express their sentiments and opinions in gestures and words, pose questions to clarify points, make meta-communicative comments on the proper ways of narrating stories, and pass judgments on the moral messages. This article argues for a more child-centred perspective in the study of oral traditions in African societies, which recognizes the children's agency in the intergenerational transfer and change of storytelling traditions as well as of the cultural notions, values, and norms transpiring through them. In the past, the study of storytelling practices in African societies focused mostly on adults and elders, in particular men, neglecting the roles of women and children. Bibliogr., sum.

They have been ordered to carry and deliver a sealed trunk to an unspecified destination. It is a mission that makes them a target as different parties set out to separate the men from the trunk and its mysterious contents, setting the stage for several fierce conflicts.

VL - 45 IS - 2 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article explores the plays of Cameroonian female playwright Anne Tanyi-Tang, arguing that they make a significant contribution to Anglophone Cameroonian drama, particularly in the representation of women and articulation of female concerns. Tanyi-Tang has used both theatre for development and dramatic literature to engage audiences on issues affecting women in both rural and urban settings. The plays analysed in this article reveal that, although trapped in deeply patriarchal cultures, women draw on their inner strengths and female networks to create the freedom necessary for attaining empowerment and self-definition. Tanyi-Tang's female characters are strikingly self-willed and independent, relying on their intellect to combat familial and social challenges. They stand in stark contrast to the stereotypical characters portrayed by male playwrights, such as Bole Butake, in whose drama women often resort to sexual favours or mischief to achieve set goals. By depicting urban women contending not only with patriarchy in all its forms, but also with postcolonial disillusionment, Tanyi-Tang infuses Anglophone Cameroonian drama with a new vision, one that embraces powerful, self-actualized women and celebrates women's achievements in the public and private spheres.

VL - 15 IS - 3 U2 - w15 N2 - Among the Manding and other long-Islamised peoples of West Africa, advanced religious instruction is based on the oral translation of Arabic books into a local language; the Qur'an may, furthermore, be interpreted in a ceremonial setting in Raman. This article discusses some of the most important linguistic, stylistic and content features of West African oral tafsr as exemplified by a Bamana commentary collected near Segu, Mali, in 1998 (Bamana being one of the several closely related Manding languages). The Qur'anic text is parsed into meaningful segments as it is read aloud, each segment being immediately followed by its rendering in Bamana, and in some instances, also by ampler explanations in this language. Manding scholarly language is characterised both by specific syntactic structures and a specialised, technical vocabulary constituted in part by Arabic loanwords and a set of key technical terms drawn from and shared by several African languages, but primarily of words created from Manding roots through compounding and/or derivation, or through attribution of specialised meanings to existing terms. The Bamana discourse transcribed and translated here is remarkable for its style, which draws on several of the rhetorical resources of this language, including culturally meaningful images, onomatopoeia and a high incidence of derived terms. Its substantive content is largely based on the Tafsr al-Jallayn and its meta-commentary by Amad al-w (d. 1825) AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 392154609 L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/jqs.2013.0116 ER - TY - JOUR ID - 1174 T1 - Access to education by persons with disabilities in Uganda's education system A1 - Nyombi,Chrispas A1 - Kibandama,Alexander Y1 - 2013/// KW - access to education KW - disabled KW - educational policy KW - legislation KW - Uganda RP - NOT IN FILE SP - 74 EP - 94 JA - East African Journal of Peace & Human Rights: (2013), vol.19, no.1, p.74-94.

The CRPD and the 1995 Constitution of Uganda provide guarantees, equal opportunities and access to education to persons with disabilities (PWDs). The evolution of the education system in Uganda is reviewed. Since the implementation of the Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE) initiatives of 1997 and 2005, respectively, the number of primary and secondary school age children accessing education has gone up. The government has made attempts to improve integration into mainstream education by implementing measures such as the Education Sector Strategic Plan 2004-2015. The removal of school fees and passing of new legislation and policies have helped to promote inclusive education. However, inclusive education requires continued financial commitment, which the government fails to provide. Furthermore, there is a general lack of facilities and resources for PWDs in schools, colleges, and universities. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 19 IS - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article explores the constitutional and legislative rights of persons with disabilities (PWDs) under the Eritrean legal system. The human rights situation in Eritrea is alarming, and deteriorating. The rights to equality and non-discrimination are some of the very few fundamental rights and freedoms under the Constitution that may not be limited. However, their interpretation in the context of the limitation or suspension of other fundamental rights is not clear. An evaluation of the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights demonstrates that the country has taken inadequate legislative and administrative measures to achieve their full citizenship and human rights. The cultural and religious traditions of society have hugely contributed to the prevalence of prejudice, negative attitudes and bias against PWDs. They are discriminated against, excluded from mainstream society and do not receive adequate attention and social services. Disability is among the prohibited grounds for discrimination under the country's 1997 Constitution, but the Constitution is not yet in force and the country has not yet adopted either a disability policy or comprehensive disability legislation. At the international level, the country has not yet moved towards ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 19 IS - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - An assessment of the effectiveness of the traditional 'gacaca' courts for realizing justice and reconciliation in Rwanda was conducted with a view to provide valuable lessons for Uganda, where communities affected by conflict have articulated the heed to adopt traditional justice processes for a similar purpose. By December 2003, the formal courts of Rwanda had only prosecuted 9700 persons out of 120,000 in prison and 761,000 accused. To cope with the backlog, but also to facilitate truth telling, national reconciliation and reintegration, the government of Rwanda decided to adopt and modify the traditional, open-air 'gacaca' ('lawn' or 'grass') courts. The jurisdiction of 'gacaca' courts was extended to offences relating to rape and murder. National courts retained the jurisdiction to prosecute the 'masterminds' of the 1994 genocide. By 2011, some survivors continued to express discontent in the 'gacaca' system as lenient punishments like community service could not be equated to the loss and trauma suffered during the genocide. The reconciliatory impact of the courts was gravely limited by reprisals, false accusations, insincerity, mistrust and corruption. According to the author, the contribution of the 'gacaca' courts towards ending impunity and realizing national reconciliation is commendable. Both the negative and negative aspects of the 'gacaca' experience could inform a similar approach in Uganda. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 15 IS - 3 U2 - w15 N2 - This article presents an analysis of Hausa glosses in a nineteenth-century Qur'anic manuscript (C1688) from the library of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts in St Petersburg, and argues that a systematic study of Arabic manuscripts with Hausa glosses is needed for a re-interpretation of early Hausa writings in Arabic script. The origins of the Hausa written tradition in Arabic script and the evolution of the concept Ajami in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries from non-Arabic (language, culture, etc.) to a variety of Arabic script adapted to African languages (with additional vowel-signs and diacritics) is discussed, and it is suggested that the frequency of the marginal notes ajam and ajam used to mark non-Arabic glosses in Arabic manuscripts might depend on the linguistic properties of the manuscripts as well as sub-regional traditions of writing in Sudanic Africa. Hausa glosses in the St Petersburg manuscript including nouns, adjectives, verbs and verbal constructions are described in same detail. Special attention is paid to borrowings from Arabic and negative verbal constructions which are not attested in Hausa dialects and modern Standard Hausa. For the first time in Hausa studies, the shift in the meaning of the Hausa word shisshigi (from acting tyrannically to meddlesomeness) is explored. The glosses are compared with the Arabic text of Tafsr al-Jallayn and two modern Hausa tafsr, those of Abubakar Mahmud Gumi and Nasiru Kabara. It is demonstrated that the Hausa glosses in the St Petersburg Qur'anic MS share a greater affinity with Kabara's tafsr than with Gumi's translation, and, on this basis, suggested that the translational practices reflected in the St Petersburg manuscript and in Kabara's tafsr might be linked with the Qdiriyya tradition of Arabic-Hausa translational reading AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 392154579 L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/jqs.2013.0115 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1181 T1 - Dedan Kimathi : the whole story A1 - Karimi,Joseph Y1 - 2013/// N1 - Met bijl., chron., index, noten KW - biographies (form) KW - Kenya KW - Mau Mau KW - national liberation struggles RP - NOT IN FILE EP - XL, 439 CY - Nairobi PB - The Jomo Kenyatta Foundation U2 - w15 SN - 9966-22972-8 AV - AFRIKA 48184 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 387380949 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1178 T1 - Galana : elephant, game domestication, and cattle on a Kenya ranch A1 - Anderson,Martin Y1 - 2013/// N1 - Met bijl KW - cattle KW - elephants KW - Kenya KW - poaching KW - ranches KW - wildlife protection RP - NOT IN FILE EP - XVIII, 106 CY - Stanford, CA PB - Stanford General Books, an imprint of Stanford University Press U2 - w15 N2 - Chapters: Imagining Africa -- Safari -- The elusive bongo -- White sale -- Poison arrows -- Water works -- Cash cow -- Domesticating science -- The end of innocence -- Year of the jackhammer -- Sleeping sickness -- Losing ground -- Too big to succeed SN - 0-8047-8924-X AV - AFRIKA 48452 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 391038877 ER - TY - JOUR ID - 1176 T1 - International labour standards and industrial relations in Tanzania A1 - Phanuel,Marwa Maridadi Y1 - 2013/// KW - child labour KW - discrimination KW - ILO KW - international agreements KW - labour law KW - Tanzania RP - NOT IN FILE SP - 26 EP - 49 JA - East African Journal of Peace & Human Rights: (2013), vol.19, no.1, p.26-49.

Tanzania has ratified all eight fundamental conventions that set international standards on industrial relations with regard to discrimination, child labour, forced labour, the freedom of association, and the right to organize and collective bargaining. The article deals specifically with provisions of the Constitution, various acts and other legislation that serve to enhance compliance with the international labour standards as set by the International Labour Organization (ILO). It traces a short history of the ILO and its main objectives, and delves into the historical development of the international labour standards in Tanzania. It is shown that discrimination in terms of payment of wages still persists as does racial discrimination. Notwithstanding various pro-active measures, the problem of child labour remains rampant. Both the Constitution and labour legislation protect a number of employment rights. Nevertheless, certain provisions in the Employment and Labour Relations Act curtail workers' rights as provided in the ILO conventions. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 19 IS - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article presents a social and legal analysis of the problem of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. It reviews the effects of the scourge and identifies the compounding factors, both intentional and inadvertent actions as well as the environments in which transmission, stigma and discrimination become manifest. In Nigeria about 3 million people have been infected with HIV. About 170,000 persons died from AIDS in 2007. General well-known causes include promiscuity, prostitution and human trafficking. In Nigeria, the infection rate among female sex workers is 30 percent. Harmful traditional practices include wife 'inheritance,' widow 'cleansing,' female genital mutilation and child marriage. A special factor is discrimination as a result of stigma in relation to HIV/AIDS, which the author believes to be responsible for more deaths among AIDS infected persons than the disease itself. Various legal and extra-legal options of addressing the different aspects of the disease are explored. Every effort should be put in place by the relevant agencies to promote safer sexual practices and to provide a supportive environment for people who are infected. Notes, ref., sum.

The papers are set in the frameworks of "ordinary cities" and "inventions and interventions". The idea of "ordinary cities" cuts across the long-standing categorization of cities as Western and other, a divide grounded in concepts of modernity and development. Instead of taking Western cities as the standard, it must be acknowledged that "ways of being urban and ways of making new kinds of urban futures are diverse and are the product of the inventiveness of people in cities everywhere" (J. Robinson 2006). Both dispersed and often spontaneous inventions or inventivenesses and focused as well as directed interventions contribute to the constantly changing nature of urban places. The papers deal with cities in Africa in general, and more specifically in Angola, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Guinea, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda.

VL - 19 IS - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article examines how the police and courts exercise their powers to grant bail, and how the various agencies that make up the criminal justice system in Kenya (Police, Probation Department, Courts, Prisons) impact on the protection of the pre-trial rights of criminal defendants. Kenya's bail administration system faces inter-agency coordination challenges, which may include the failure to transport detainees to court. This undermines the pre-trial rights of criminal defendants. Current statistics indicate that 30-40 per cent of the prison population consists of pre-trial detainees. The authors consider that the Police and the courts generally exercise their powers fairly and responsibly. While in some cases this exercise of power entails detaining individuals who deserve to be granted bail, their decisions are sound, given the inability of large segments of the public to understand the purpose of bail. In these circumstances, bail constitutes a valuable tool that the police and the courts use to maintain law and order. Given that it is inevitable that some criminal defendants will be detained, a need arises to ensure that places of detention are humane, and that the denial of bail does not constitute punishment. However, many of the places of detention are not only congested, but also in a deplorable state. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 15 IS - 3 U2 - w15 N2 - The city of Saayi (Say), Niger has played an important role in the regional development of Islam from the early nineteenth century onwards. This paper traces its history and the biography of the founder, using the available written and oral sources, while also describing its role as a contemporary religious centre. The Qur'an is commented on in local languages both in the context of traditional advanced religious education and in Raman. The intellectual sources, language and ritual dimensions of enunciation of these oral commentaries are analysed, as are the ceremonies specific to Raman. Although Say was founded by Fulfulde-speaking scholars, reflecting the general cultural and social evolution of the city and its area, for the past 50 years, the Qur'an commentary in the Friday mosque has been given in Songhay-Zarma. While these commentaries are essentially based on recognised Arabic ones, their language makes some reference to the images and concepts of local Songhay-Zarma culture. The linguistic features and substantive content of Songhay-Zarma oral tafsr are illustrated by two excerpts, each presenting several verses of Srat al-Baqara: one is drawn from a full tafsr collected in Say in 1968, at the initiative of the well-known statesman and man of letters Boubou Hama; the other was collected in the Zarma country in 19056 AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 392154617 L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/jqs.2013.0117 ER - TY - JOUR ID - 1168 T1 - Qur'anic exegesis in old Kanembu: linguistic precision for better interpretation A1 - Bondarev,Dmitry Y1 - 2013/// KW - Bornu polity KW - Kanembu language KW - Koran KW - Nigeria KW - translation RP - NOT IN FILE SP - 56 EP - 83 JA - Journal of Qur'anic Studies: (2013), vol.15, no.3, p.56-83.

The function of Old Kanembu is motivated by the grammatical module of tafsr studies, which includes irb, arf, naw and other related disciplines. However, the Borno ulam do not strictly adhere to Arabic linguistic theory and also exploit the distinctive linguistic properties of the Old Kanembu language. In its elaborated output form, tafsr in Old Kanembu incorporates four explanatory levels: (a) morphosyntactic; (b) phrase by phrase / lexical; (c) sentential and (d) interpretative. Thus, it is built on two interrelated platforms: metalanguage (i.e. language designed for description of language) and exegesis (i.e. interpretation of the text). This combination makes Old Kanembu a very powerful software with a solid foundation in the science of tafsr, that allows its users to check their own knowledge of the Qur'an with the precision required by the Arabic grammatical sciences. In its basic grammatical format, Old Kanembu is a platform for the exegete who provides tafsr in full format. Thus, Old Kanembu serves both grammatical and interpretative purposes perfectly AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/08/04/ M3 - 392125668 L3 - http://www.euppublishing.com/doi/pdfplus/10.3366/jqs.2013.0114 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1180 T1 - Song of Lawino; Song of Ocol A1 - p'Bitek,Okot A1 - Horley,Frank Y1 - 2013/// N1 - Oorspr. uitg.: Song of Lawino. - 1966. - Song of Ocol. - 1967 KW - poetry (form) KW - Uganda RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 150 CY - Long Grove, IL PB - Waveland Press U2 - w15 SN - 1-478-60472-7 AV - AFRIKA Lit.9891 Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 390794155 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 1179 T1 - Strange pilgrimages : short stories A1 - Dangor,Achmat Y1 - 2013/// KW - short stories (form) KW - South Africa RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 170 CY - Johannesburg PB - Picador Africa U2 - w15 N2 - "Central to much of this are 'the struggle years'. This has seen some sent into exile, but few ever forget their 'South Africanness', for the pull of 'nostalgia' is an ever-present force. Some question the value of what they did during those years, others see it in a rather ambivalent light, while others want to move on, want to be relieved of the 'baggage' of their past. For many of them, sex becomes the means of escape from the shackles of memory. This is not just another encomium to the 'struggle' years; instead, what makes this book stand out is the author's unusual and illuminating take on that period of our history. It is not viewed, then, in a way we've become accustomed to, but from a different perspective.

VL - 15 IS - 3 U2 - w15 N2 - Sura headings, and the information they convey, were formulated well after the Qur'anic revelation itself. Furthermore, they were not determined by authoritative, standardising decisions, as was the case for the Qur'anic text, which has come down to us ne varietur. Given the geographical extension attained by the Islamic world in the course of its history, and in the absence of normalisation due to the disappearance of a centralised power, local variations in sura headings are only to be expected. This is, in effect, the case for Africa. The sampling of Qur'an manuscripts considered here is compared to the standard Egyptian edition of 1923, and reveals differences not only in the titles of the suras but also in the other types of information associated with them, such as indications concerning the place of revelation and the number of verses in each sura. In addition, in some areas, headings are not usually committed to writing, whereas in other local traditions, they may be quite long and contain multiple elements of information. Though these variations may appear to be minor, they are of interest in a comparative perspective, taking into account different zones and eras especially so if one seeks to discern local identities in the presentation of Qur'an manuscripts. The ones analysed here all come from the Saharo-Sahelian zone: Mauritania (2), Mali (1), Chad (2) and Somalia (1). They are dated to the nineteenth century, with the exception of one early twentieth-century manuscript AV - Elektronisch artikel Y2 - 2015/10/04/ M3 - 392154641 L3 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/jqs.2013.0119 ER - TY - JOUR ID - 1173 T1 - The right to education in an evolving democracy: the case of Nigeria A1 - Opadere,Olaolu S.

VL - 19 IS - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article explores and seeks to establish the pertinence and indispensability of free and compulsory formal education in an evolving democracy, using Nigeria as a case study. It endeavours to show that for any evolving democracy to thrive, education of the populace must be accorded pre-eminence, deserved attention, and commitment. Otherwise, such democracy would likely be infested with violence, terrorism, and other crimes, which eventually could lead to its defeat. The author recognizes that education is a major force in economic, intellectual, social and cultural empowerment. If the populace is not given the appropriate preparation to participate on an equal footing, the democratic experience is bound to be lopsided and may eventually collapse. Certain gaps in education policy remain: 1. non-justiciability of education; 2. elites' hijacking of education; 3. uncontrolled institutional proliferation; 4. poor language culture; 5. discriminatory certification. To this date free and compulsory education has remained a void phrase and will remain so until an equitable formula for its justiciability is worked out. The Commission, which has been established to that end in 1996, has failed to come up with such a formula until now. Notes, ref., sum.

The participants signalled their concerns over high poverty levels, hunger, poor hygiene and sanitation, ineffective education, troubled gender relations marked by alcohol related violence and rape, high levels of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis infection, fear of stigma, and a range of environmental problems. The community information centre in the settlement is used intensively by young people for educational purposes, but only marginally by adults for photocopying and literacy purposes. Overall, young people had a higher awareness of information needs and channels. Adults lagged much behind due to illiteracy, powerlessness and language problems. The author makes a number of recommendations to address the identified information needs of the community and capacity building in the context of MDG and poverty eradication. One of the recommendations was to provide information literacy skills in the adult literacy programme. Bibliogr., sum.

The twin concepts of climate change and variability did not exist in the language spoken in the area, which posed difficulties when translating them. The study revealed that middle-aged respondents (40-59 years) of the communities were aware of climatic changes, based on observation during the past three to four decades: 1. rainfall changes associated with drier summers and floods; 2. temperature changes associated with colder winters and hotter summers; and 3. increasing wind intensity. The communities do not appear to have an adaptive capacity to respond to catastrophic natural disaster events such as the recurrent floods of 2009, 2010 and 2011. The authors recommend a programme on community awareness regarding climate change and its implications. The government is advised to set up a long-term adaptation strategy for Namibia in collaboration with communities and other relevant stakeholders. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This paper reviews results of earlier nutrition surveys in Namibia and formulates a Namibian research agenda to inform future undernutrition and obesity interventions. Consistent with findings from other developing countries, the Namibian population is simultaneously made up of overweight and obese individuals as well as underweight individuals. It is also the country with the highest levels of inequality in the world. Based on data collected from 2003 to 2004, 28 per cent of Namibians were categorized as underweight, 11 per cent as overweight and 7 per cent as obese. Among adults, aged 30-46, 29 per cent were categorized as overweight or obese. The authors suggest a three-stage approach to ultimately reduce morbidity and mortality as a result of undernutrition and obesity: 1. quantitative studies of the prevalence of obesity and undernutrition and of the quality and quantity of available foodstuffs; 2. paper-based analysis of policy and strategy, using published information on policy, research and interventions; and 3. design of a series of planned and informed interventions, such as initiatives aimed at population groups most at risk, public information campaigns and community-based activities that promote healthy eating and physical activity.

VL - 1 IS - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This article discusses the importance of traditional music and dance in African society in general and in Namibia in particular. Music and dance are key features of the national cultural heritage and a source of cultural identity. Other cultural expressions include indigenous languages, dress, traditional architecture, manufacturing or crafts, ritual, healings, labour, beverage and dishes. Most of these aspects of traditional society are in decline. Young people in Namibia and elsewhere consider indigenous cultural expressions as things of the past, archaic, childish and non-sense. Most music performed in the country is now based on foreign genres such as kwaito, R&B, reggae, kwasa-kwasa and kizomba. Since independence, almost nobody has made an effort to create a contemporary music style based on Namibian traditional music. The author emphasizes that traditional arts can play a useful role in the eco-tourism industry, provided the negative aspects such as language erosion, loss of meaning and prostitution can be avoided.

VL - 1 IS - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The problem of translating Swahili aphorisms, riddles, idioms and proverbs as they appear on kanga cloths is examined, using skopos theory, according to which the target text must take into account the meaning in both the target language and target culture. A kanga is a colourful cloth used as traditional dress by Swahili women. It measures about 1.5 m by 1 m and typically has a printed border ('pindo'), a central motif ('mji'), and a short text ('jina'). Kangas are designed with extreme care to appeal to their users and as such they are artifacts of Swahili culture. The kanga texts communicate the culture and philosophy of the Swahili people dwelling along the coast of the Indian Ocean (Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique and Somalia). The texts chosen for this paper illustrate the use and utility of the skopos theory. Since the texts are embedded in Swahili culture and philosophy, establishing equivalents in English can be a major challenge. Three options are reviewed: literal translation, descriptive translation, and ready equivalents. Literal translation can help to avoid losing the foreign flair. Descriptive translation often requires additional text to clarify the meaning. Selected translations include: 'It's strange for a dry coconut to want to break a stone', 'By causing misunderstandings, you'll end up with leftovers', and 'I won't revenge but I won't forget.'

The plants were selected on the basis of indigenous use that suggests their toxicity to Plasmodium parasites. Crude extracts were prepared using methanol-dichloromethane and distilled water. The extracts were further partitioned with chloroform-methanol-water. Phytochemical tests revealed the presence of anthraquinones, flavonoids, terpenoids, coumarines, and glycosides; alkaloids and steroids were not detected. Paradoxically, thin-layer chromatography analysis on the crude extracts of the same plants tested positive for all compounds. The presence of these phytochemicals and the data generated support the ethno-medicinal uses for these plants. Bibliogr., sum.

In their analysis the authors unravel the praiseworthy values contained in the speech and look at the unsaid or implied messages which are labelled subtleties. By using carefully chosen words and phrases, Pohamba's speech promoted democracy, peace, unity, dignity, accountability, transparency, honesty, patriotism and the rule of law in a nation of diverse cultures. As is the practice in speech communication, Pohamba used Aristotle's three modes of persuasion, namely, pathos, ethos and logos. Speakers employ identification and consubstantiality in order to influence the audience to view things the way they see them. The authors also demonstrate that a speech never comes in isolation or alone; the speaker traced the past and present, and gave a glimpse of the future of the country. Throughout the speech a pious President could be seen who subscribes to the democratic value of turn-taking of the Presidency as he openly stated that this was his second and last term as President of the Republic of Namibia.

VL - 1 IS - 1 U2 - w15 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Three short stories set in urban Zimbabwe during the crisis of the past decade are explored with the prime motivation to examine how urbanites are constantly redefining and reclaiming public space through their lived experiences so as to better their lives. Using resilience theory and focusing on the profundity of agency, the paper shows how the characters demonstrate their capacity to innovate and respond to difficulty with ingenuity through urban informalities. Rather than bemoaning the dystopian post-colonial city which has become reminiscent of the contemporary Afro-pessimisms, the extraordinarily energetic creativity of the urbanites, the tenacity and resilience of people who inhabit the city space, are clarified and celebrated. The three stories are: 1. 'Universal remedy' by Pat Brickhill about the amiable relationship between a white and a black woman; 2. 'Tables turned over' by Adrian Ashley about market women who survive through street vending; and 3. 'Not slaves to fashion' by M. Mthimkhulu about the role of women's clubs. The ultimate conclusion is that challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks, its a matter of how you view them. Bibliogr., sum.

Libraries were found in all the schools, but no more than 80 percent of these were adequately resourced in terms of reading materials, equipment, and staffing. Learners said that they liked reading, but there was no strong library programme to inculcate a reading culture. A number of other factors can contribute to a good or bad reading culture. These include the language of instruction and home/family environment. In 2011, an audit report of the education system notes that proficiency in English, the language of instruction, is below basic. The small percentage of schools with libraries that were well run had a good pass rate, whereas generally this is not the case. Recommendations include the provision of adequate funding for collection development and the development of meaningful library programmes. Bibliogr., sum.

Four rock art recording techniques (site record forms, photography, sketches and tracing) were used to capture data ranging from contextual information, motifs, relief situation and specific data relating to the engravings in particular. Altogether seven different types of combinations of engravings and paintings were observed. The spatial patterning of the rock engravings was also determined to allow a quantitative analysis of the distribution and figuration of engravings. Rock art in the area is from at least three distinct periods. A total of 606 humans and 430 animals (giraffe, antelope, rhinoceros, eland, and ostrich) were documented. Other prints included footprints, handprints, spoor, and geometric art. Of the humans only 18 were determinable in terms of gender. In other cases gender may be inferred from the objects carried or interacted with: bows, arrows and quiver bags for the male hunters and round, bulky bags for collecting berries associated with female gatherers. The area also comprises settlement remains consisting of stone structures that formed the bases of huts, stone chambers or cairns and stone walls. Bibliogr., notes, sum.

It was found that most of the products and services on offer were not locally produced. Tourism development based on the area's local culture and traditions, arts and crafts, traditional attire and meals remains elusive. This unexplored potential may be unlocked by: 1. introducing a diversity of products and services; 2. conducting tourism research to specifically examine the prospects these products and services; 3. establishing links with local tour operators; 4. capacity building for the production of quality local arts and crafts, traditional attire and meals to suit tourists' needs and wants; 5. developing websites and marketing through social networks; and 6. develop policies to create a conducive business environment. The authors conclude that the main hindrances to small-scale tourism development are the lack of financial resources, skills, marketing, and business knowledge. Bibliogr., sum.

At the time of writing, the database listed 947 civilian casualties, of whom 317 were killed by landmines and 316 by assassination squads. The main challenge was that of the absence of archival sources. This absence led to an impossibility of systematic historical analysis. In Namibia, almost a generation after the end of the war, it remained unknown how many Namibian civilians died during the Namibian Liberation Struggle. The CCP might be viewed as having the potential to contribute to a different kind of memorial to the war that could further national reconciliation and assist in promoting collective national values. In 1997, the Namibian Government signed the Ottawa Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines. One way in which this strong stand might be publicized in Namibia could be a memorial to all Namibian landmine victims. Bibliogr., sum.
