VL - 28 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - At the Bayreuth meeting of the African Literature Association, in the northern summer of 2015, a series of panels was convened by the Journal of African Cultural Studies. A number of speakers were invited to respond to the challenge to 'reboot' the term 'Afropolitan', to see whether they could re-invigorate understandings of the origins (misspelt, mis-ascribed, lost, deleted, haunted, spectral), in order to find new and activist futures for it. Amongst the speakers in the roundtable discussion were Emma Dabiri, Chielozona Eze, Grace A. Musila, and Stephanie Bosch Santana. The papers published in this special section grew out of that conversation. Contributions: Introduction (Carli Coetzee); 'Why I am (still) not an Afropolitan' (Emma Dabiri); Part-Time Africans, Europolitans and 'Africa lite' (Grace A. Musila); 'We, Afropolitans' (Chielozona Eze); Exorcizing the future: Afropolitanism's spectral origins (Stephanie Bosch Santana).

VL - 28 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Recent discussions on the African short story tend to focus on the efforts to promote short-story writing, especially through literary prizes. Critics sceptical of such prizes argue that writers may be tempted to write only on topics that the audience hosting the prize is eager to read about. Only rarely do such conversations on the African short story critically engage with the stories. Doing so would reveal that four recent award-winning African short stories, Folarin's 'Miracle', Bulawayo's 'Hitting Budapest', Osondus' 'Waiting', and Owuor's 'The Weight of Whispers', set into relief global problems such as poverty, hunger, political strife and immigration to carry a caustic critique of the very audience to whose tastes they are believed to pander. The author locates this critique in examples of refusals of assistance, roundabout comments and misconstruals of meaning as the ways in which the solutions are deferred. He calls these examples gaps between problems and solutions that all four authors use to point out the failure of largely Western-based aid agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and other organizations in solving global challenges. This accusation of Western-based agencies, folded into a surprising critique of the audience who crowns the fiction of these writers, becomes obvious when these stories are read in opposition to iterations that theorize the world as independent of national boundaries. The short stories, the author argues, thus develop a supplementary critique. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

VL - 28 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This paper explores the discursive history of 'language-making' in the context of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, focusing on a significant colonial moment of standardisation: The Rejaf Language Conference (RLC) of 1928. Through inspecting the report of the proceedings of the RLC, the paper contends that this institutional event contributed to the construction of racial and regional differences by, then: (1) being informed by scientific theories of racial categorisation as an epistemological basis for creating a stratified local sociolinguistic system; (2) with a Eurocentric audience design, inventing 'technical versions' of 'local vernaculars' and 'language groups' imbued with specific indexical values, anchored to specific localities and social identities; (3) relationally, vernacularising Arabic by reworking its ideological load and orthographic order determined by a colonial economy of education; (4) artefactualising a pluralistic image of the society as an effect and function of institutional linguistic classification of forms tied to specific localities and people; and (5) resulting in the planned absence of a perceived 'indigenous' lingua franca in the Southern Sudan. The RLC as a relatively regimented format, characterised by a rationalised absence of the 'local voice', was one of the significant contexts in which the very disciplinary identity of linguistics was rationalised, resisted, and maintained.

VL - 28 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Marginalized groups and individuals in Morocco are subject to modes of representation, in which the images and symbols of dirt used to describe/treat them as 'bouzebal' ('Bouzebal' is derived from the Standard Arabic word 'Azbal' (trash) and the darija term 'zbal' (also trash). 'Azbal' is a plural word for 'zibala'. It is usually used to refer to literal waste and things that are no longer needed. 'Zbal' is polysemic in that it can also be employed to indicate junky beings (no longer needed in society) or people with low moral standards. 'Bouzebal', however, is a strictly pejorative word used to denote a person with a lowly social status. It is also used to label members from the same social class whom one deems to be inferior to oneself. The label 'bouzebal' (meaning social junky) is a complex term that was initially meant to pin down socially disadvantaged people as trashy types that are deeply entrenched in filth. This article studies these and similar modes of representation in relation to the culture of festivalization in Morocco. The underrating of local artists at the expense of Western superstars, for instance, has prompted heated debates in Morocco about how festivals are maintainers of such unhealthy acts of separation. Festival agents are young and active festival practitioners who find in the festival an opportunity to negotiate power and make hints at 'tabouzabalit' (the state of being 'bouzebal') by way of discussing serious local plights (i.e. corruption, poverty, unemployment, and tyranny). The author will also show how cartoonists articulate this lowliness through images of dirt, waste, and excrement to underline the decadence underneath the images of majesty promoted by the state's 'spectacles of joy'.

VL - 28 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - When Nigeria hosted the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC 77) to celebrate the cultural foundations of the 'Black and African World', it was fashioned after Senghor's festival mondial des arts nŠgres (FESMAN 66) held in Dakar 11 years earlier. What began as an alliance between festival co-patrons, however, soon developed into a divisive debate over the meanings and horizons of black cultural citizenship. At issue were competing Afrocentric frameworks that clashed over the North African or 'Arab' question. Should North Africans fully participate, as Lt-Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo maintained, or should they merely observe as second-class citizens, as Leopold S‚dar Senghor resolutely insisted? If Nigeria's expansive and inclusive vision of blackness was motivated and underwritten by its enormous oil wealth, Senghor refused to compromise his position, precipitating a face-off that ultimately lowered Senegal's prestige. To understand why North Africa became the focus of these competing definitions of blackness, the author turns to the 1969 Pan-African Cultural Festival in Algiers, where N‚gritude was disclaimed as counter-revolutionary. Placed within a genealogy of postcolonial Afrocentric festivals, the struggle over North Africa in FESTAC 77 shows that the political stakes of black cultural citizenship were neither trivial nor ephemeral, but emerged within a transnational field of symbolic capital accumulation.

It presents original perspectives on humanity, on knowledge and truth, and on the world as such. To understand and develop especially these trends of African philosophy which are independent of Western philosophy, it is important to understand how African traditions of thought are anchored in African cultures, histories, literatures, and internal power dynamics. This special issue contains contributions to several areas of African philosophy: the history of African philosophy (Graness); political philosophy (Kasanda, Marzagora, and  k); and the intersection between philosophy and literature (Coughlin, Rettov , and Vierke).

The Ghanaian trickster-spider, Ananse, is a deceptive figure full of comic delight who blurs the lines of class, politics, and morality. David Afriyie Donkor identifies social performance as a way to understand trickster behavior within the shifting process of political legitimization in Ghana, revealing stories that exploit the social ideologies of economic neoliberalism and political democratization. At the level of policy, neither ideology was completely successful, but Donkor shows how the Ghanaian government was crafty in selling the ideas to the people, adapting trickster-rooted performance techniques to reinterpret citizenship and the common good. Trickster performers rebelled against this takeover of their art and sought new ways to out trick the tricksters SN - 978-0-253-02134-2 AV - AFRIKA 50594 Y2 - 2016/09/19/ M3 - 406230188 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 3513 T1 - I'm the girl who was raped A1 - Hattingh,Michelle Y1 - 2016/// N1 - Bibliogr.: p. 192-193 KW - personal narratives (form) KW - sexual offences KW - South Africa RP - NOT IN FILE EP - 195 CY - Cape Town PB - Modjaji Books U2 - w38 SN - 1-920590-62-5 AV - AFRIKA 50745 Y2 - 2016/09/20/ M3 - 406228663 ER - TY - BOOK ID - 3514 T1 - Coming of age : strides in African publishing : essays in honour of dr Henry Chakava at 70 A1 - Kamau,Kiarie A1 - Mitambo,Kirimi Y1 - 2016/// N1 - Met bijl., bibliogr., index, noten KW - Africa KW - book industry KW - festschrifts (form) KW - Kenya KW - publishing RP - NOT IN FILE EP - XXVII, 288 CY - Nairobi PB - East African Educational Publishers U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - On the occasion of his 70th birthday, this book honours Henry Chakava, Kenyan publisher and key figure in the development of the African book industry for over forty years.

VL - 28 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Afropolitanism has evolved over the past 10 years as a rubric for describing transnational African identity. This piece develops a cultural-materialist analysis of that phenomenon as a metropolitan instrument of self-affirmation, in the first instance. The author argues that the phenomenon of Afropolitanism is to some extent a subjective and cultivated condition, and has become a cultural instrument of black political agency in the Metropolis. However, the resultant self-affirmation accrues only to the Afropolitan cultural producer, who acquires symbolic capital towards that goal. A larger black migrant population and diaspora, which does not possess symbolic capital and therefore lacks this same social and class mobility, is still marginalized. This creates a division between the culture of Afropolitanism and the politics it aims to engender. The author concludes that a dialectical interaction between culture and politics is necessary and important in order for the condition of Afropolitanism to jettison its elitist tendency and to enable rich theoretical, and more progressive, ideological gains.

VL - 28 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Critiques of Afropolitanism that dismiss the concept because of its links to consumerism and commodification assume an unchallenging compliance of those considered as Afropolitans with dominant ideologies of consumption and the rule of capital. Considering Taiye Selasi's article 'Bye-Bye Babar', this seems plausible, but it is also a reductive interpretation that effaces the transformative potential of Afropolitanism. The literary works and online presence in public discourses of writers labelled Afropolitan show that they challenge and revise the present world order in the way that Walter Mignolo and other theorists of decoloniality envisage in their concept of 'critical cosmopolitanism'. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Teju Cole, for example, implement Afropolitanism as a critical assessment of global culture that defies a reduction of the concept simply to its commercial dimension. In their own ways, Adichie and Cole explore the affordances and the limitations of the internet, mobility and globalization. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

VL - 28 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This paper explores some aspects of the controversy which is now surrounding Afropolitanism, and examines the philosophical and literary output in relation to the concept. Mobility between spaces, in the cosmopolitan tradition, as well as digital mobility and visibility through the use of social media, are considered as key elements of Afropolitanism as a diasporic movement. So Afropolitanism can be described as a form of cosmopolitanism with African roots. However, the commodification of the term as a brand, and the class bias of Afropolitan lifestyle are more problematic. In the second part of the paper, the positions of African intellectuals are shown to convey more philosophical depth and moral relevance to Afropolitanism. In this vision of the concept, as it was initiated by Achille Mbembe, Afropolitanism is relevant for both the diaspora and for Africa. Afropolitanism in this understanding of it decentres, de-essentializes and valorizes the continent. The paper closes with readings of two novels of celebrated writers of the Afropolitan generation, namely Taiye Selasi's 'Ghana Must Go' and Teju Cole's 'Open City'. These novels feature complex Afropolitan characters and create a dense literary landscape through which to explore contemporary Afro-diasporic identity politics. The spatial and cultural mobilities expressed in this literature confirm Mbembe's repositioning of Africa as a philosophical locus of passage and mobility. Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum.

VL - 28 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - By looking at work by two contemporary South African photographers, this article examines some of the ways in which notions of 'the animal' intersect with human subjectivity and representation. Georgio Agamben's formulation of the Western 'anthropological machine', which works to shape human 'otherness' through recourse to the animal, provides the theoretical framework for examining Pieter Hugo's 'The Hyena and Other Men'. Invoking ideas of the 'wild' in structuring perceptions of socially marginalized groups, Hugo's ambivalent portraits have been accused of exoticising, and eroticising, black masculinity, but, read through Donna Haraway's conceptualization of companion species, may open up new readings of human/animal relationality. The 'tame' is no less contested: Daniel Naud‚'s 'Animal Farm' focuses on particular livestock breeds, demonstrating that domesticated animals can become a site of anxiety around human 'pedigree' too.

VL - 28 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - National holidays are some of the oldest known forms of nation-mythologizing used for managing, producing and reproducing national memories and identities. They are calendrically set aside days free from work where people pause and reflect on who they are as a nation. A study of national holidays in the Zimbabwean context exposes the malleability, fragility and contestability of 'official' notions of nationhood as imagined by Zimbabwean president and the ruling Zimbabwe National Union Patriotic Front's (ZANU-PF) leader - Robert Mugabe. This article contends that national holidays have been adulterated by Mugabe who, when presiding over them, fuses the personal and national by speaking as an individual, president of the country and leader of ZANU-PF for politically expedient ends. With this in mind, this article devotes its focus to the study and analysis of Mugabe's speeches on three most cathartic national holidays, namely, Heroes' Day, Defence Forces' Day and Independence Day, as covered in the state-controlled The Herald newspaper between 2000 and 2014. This article analyses Mugabe's speeches and performance of the nation during commemorations and argues that Mugabe has used these commemorations to carve a dictatorial, exclusive, toxic and narrow version of national being.

VL - 28 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - This paper attempts an intervention in contemporary popular music classification. It argues that popular musicians do not only choose the titles to their works, but go further to define the genres of these works. The dynamic at play is such that most popular musicians claim to produce works of different and new genres with each new work they create. By engaging with the works of a selection of Nigerian popular musicians, the paper shows a trend of opportunistic productions within the political music genre by artists not otherwise known for political songs. Through a discussion of the textual and contextual elements of the material, the paper argues that an increased number of popular musicians have started producing protest political music and unity political music, following Nigeria's democratization in 1999, as a way of alerting audiences of their political astuteness and in an attempt to court political relevance.

VL - 28 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - What is increasingly known as Niger Deltan poetry is a poetry that distinctly identifies itself with the peoples and environment of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The poetry of Gabriel Okara, Christian Otobotekere, Tanure Ojaide, Ogaga Ifowodo, Nnimmo Bassey, Ebi Yeibo and others seeks to draw attention to the fate of both humans and non-humans in the face of oil exploration and its negative consequences in the region. The ecocritical imagination informing this poetry is two-pronged: a celebration of the flora and fauna of the region before the advent of exploration, and a combative engagement with institutional powers responsible for destroying the rich environment. Deploying Rob Nixon's concept of slow violence and environmentalism of the poor, the author analyses selected poems by poets from the Niger Delta which have as their theme the plight of the people and their environment in the wake of oil production, and also demonstrate the consummate activism inherent in poetry from and on the Niger Delta.

VL - 41 IS - 5): (2015) U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In this article the author shows how a brief history of the use of an exceptionally wide variety of potions with assumed mystical effects by football teams in the Bushbuckridge area of South Africa provides a unique vantage point for understanding men's experiences of political and economic transformations associated with the homeland system. Historically, the advent of football coincided with the establishment of the Lebowa and Gazankulu homelands in the area. Teachers and ministers founded the first football teams during the 1960s, and treated the sport pedagogically, as preparation for labour migration. During this era, teams felt compelled to use substances prescribed by the Holy Spirit to protect themselves against the potions of their opponents, which they associated with the malevolent practice of witchcraft. However, in the mid 1970s, football was commercialised and businessmen became the prime patrons of football teams. Coaches now started using offensive potions to attain favourable results. Players themselves began to use potions more extensively during the insecure economic environment of the 1990s, when football became a means of reconfirming masculine status. The analysis points to the salience of labour and patronage in men's life worlds, and shows how magic became moralised in desperate times. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 14 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The reorganization of Akan society in the early 1300's-1400, the subsequent formation of Asante in 1701, and the introduction of the trans-Atlantic slave trade in the former Gold Coast created new social, economic, and political conditions which initiated a change in the status, mobility, and role of women. Societal restrictions were placed upon female title-holders through language and spiritual taboos which prohibited them from sacred spaces and shrines. Akan cosmology and spirituality were monopolized as a tool for the acquisition of authority. A desire for the accumulation of wealth and power reconceptualised masculine identities as military victories began to be associated with manliness and honor. Patriarchal systems of governance were later established, specifically the institutions of chieftaincy and kingship, which were key contributors to the deterioration of political positions for females, for example, the Queen Mother. As the dominant political organizations, these institutions have seemingly functioned to shape the experiences of Ghanaian women throughout the history of Asante. This paper argues that the significance of women in the realm of politics and cultural affairs in Akan society were effectively lessened as a result of patriarchy, the manipulation of spirituality, and the influence of militaristic ideals.

VL - 14 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - As perceived protectors of the Congolese cultures figuratively and realistically and agents of positive economic and social changes, the role and the place of the Congolese women in general in the development schemes cannot be denied. However, intellectual debates about what the Congolese society at large expects the Congolese university women to contribute to the discourses about development and its various models have not been systematically studied. While, for instance, the discourse about the parity between women and men in the workplace is being promoted by the government, the study of gender in higher education is still in its infancy. This study investigates women's role within the context of the evolution of educational systems and their values since the Belgian administration. It examines educational policies in relationship to the models of development that both colonial and post-colonial administrations formulated and implemented. Although the study is essentially a reflection, putting an emphasis on conceptualization and theories, it is also supported by historical and cultural arguments and propositions. It is argued that the Congolese university women have 'citizenry responsibility' and 'university education and engagement' to propose new leadership role in development. Using historical-structuralist perspectives as developed in social sciences at large, the author analyzes the issue of the nature of the relationship between the place and the role of university and that of leadership and development. She raises the issue of whether or not the Congolese university women's leadership matters in the search for developmental models in the Congo. Bibliogr., ref., sum.

VL - 14 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Ethiopia's post 1991 decentralization drive is a fairly recent phenomenon borne out of the realization that devolution of political powers to constituent units would be the best alternative in ensuring development. The move, which was also inevitable given the history of a little over two decades of authoritarian rule in the country, was deepened culminating in the launching of District Level Decentralization Programme (dldp) in 2001 in order to enhance the scope and quality of the delivery of social services to the grass root level communities. This article aims to assess the extent of service delivery with education sector as its focus taking the case of two selected Woredas from Oromo Nationality Zone of Amhara National Regional State and find out constraints if any on the provision of the same. Using primary data collected from sampled population of the two Woredas, the article analyzes how far Ethiopia's decentralization drive has produced the desired results in terms of performance of the woredas in service delivery and thereby benefiting the concerned community people at large. The findings of the study reveal that although there have been significant improvements made in extending educational service delivery in the two woredas, the quality of it is constrained in view of existing challenges such as lack of adequate financial support, trained manpower, increasing rate of teacher attrition, lack of adequate participation by the community and planning and these have to be tackled with in order that meaningful devolution of powers at the grass root level is assured.

VL - 14 IS - 4 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The paper set out to explain the discontinuity in Soviet-Nigerian relations between the periods 1967-1970 and 1971-1979. The explanation usually given for the poor relations between Nigeria and the Soviet Union between 1960 and 1966 is the anti-communism of the Nigerian political elite; and ideological incompatibility for the non-vibrant relations between 1971 and 1979. These explanations appear idealistic and hypothetical. A major source of the problem of explanation is the consideration of Soviet-Nigerian relations only within the context of the Soviet-American Cold War struggle, from a trilateral perspective. What if the Cold War did not exist, what would have been the nature of Soviet-Nigerian relations? Adopting a bilateral framework, the paper argues that it was the inchoate state of trade relations, which would have provided the basis for continuity across administrations, that retarded Soviet-Nigerian political relations between 1971 and 1979.

The research demonstrated the incredible resilience of occupants in the face of an extreme shortage of affordable accommodation in Johannesburg's inner city (Tissington 2013). Rooms and spaces in the inner city represented two of very few typologies research participants were aware of that allowed them access to the livelihood opportunities Johannesburg had to offer. The flexibility and diversity of rooms and spaces on the informal market enabled occupants to cope with insecure livelihood opportunities. While formal rooms represented the most stable support to those specific occupants, there were several 'barriers to entry' including the prerequisite of a stable income. However, the findings suggested an adverse relationship between accommodation and livelihoods demonstrated by the three 'forms' of rooms and spaces, where the only form available to people with the least secure livelihoods is that which, in turn, subjects them to the greatest insecurity. While one should 'do no harm' where aspects of accommodation are 'currently working' (Carey 2009:2), there is scope for targeted and differentiated intervention in some forms of rooms and spaces, in support of livelihoods.

Government policies have advocated urban integration-compaction for two decades, in the face of inertia and resistance from vested interests. This paper investigates the attitudes of developers towards the principles of sustainable urban transformation. Developers tend to favour a narrow agenda of new green buildings over more environmentally significant brownfield re-development and refurbished buildings. While they recognise the need for higher-density, mixed-use schemes within existing built-up areas, most remain reluctant to get directly involved themselves because of the perceived risks and uncertainties. Yet, several niche developers are breaking the mould and beginning to challenge such assumptions about the potential for profitable investment in hitherto neglected areas. Bibliogr., sum.

VL - 26 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Nearly 70 % of sub-Saharan Africa's urban population live in informal settlements and populations are expected to double by 2030. Based on the constitutional right to adequate housing and growing public pressure and dissent, the South African government has begun a process of large-scale formalisation through the provision of housing and infrastructure to informal areas. A disjuncture has however occurred and conflicts have arisen between what are understood as modernist ideas of how cities should appear and function (formality) and an alternate, organic and flexible mode of thought (the informal). This conflict is seen by some authors as a 'clash of governmentalities' which goes deeper than a simple lack of dialogue, inadequate participation and/or a disinclination to see others' points of view. For a number of years, calls have been made for a way to organise these governmentalities and perspectives, understand what goes on at their interface and unpack the complexity that exists between them. Integral Theory and its AQAL (All Quadrants, All Levels) framework are fast becoming a sought-after arena of academic discourse. It deals specifically with complex interactions and perspectives and offers a methodology that draws together a number of already existing separate paradigms and perspectives into a unified, interrelated framework. This paper uses the AQAL framework and Integral Theory as a tool to map the differing governmentalities (rationalities, techniques and practices) that exist in the upgrading of informal settlements in Cape Town and understand their relationship and interactions.

VL - 26 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Existing research on resource booms and their impacts has largely focused at the national level and been undertaken from an economic perspective, primarily through the lens of the resource curse. This study investigates an emergent resource boom in Ghana, where oil was discovered in 2007. Given the considerable existing research on national-level impacts of resource extraction, this study looks at the urban impacts of oil exploitation on the city of Sekondi-Takoradi, the largest urban settlement closest to the nations offshore oil fields. Drawing on detailed questionnaires completed by 636 people across multiple neighbourhoods, the study examines how oil discovery and exploitation have impacted the city. The study finds that many of the changes facing Sekondi-Takoradi can be understood in light of gentrification theory. This is important because there has been considerable debate over the extent to which models of gentrification, largely forged in the developed world, are relevant in the developing world. The findings of this study extend existing knowledge by not only connecting resource booms to processes of urban gentrification in Sub-Saharan Africa but by also demonstrating that multiple forms of gentrification take place simultaneously in these conditions. The paper concludes by suggesting several avenues through which planners and policymakers might better prepare for the kinds of urban changes that are likely to result from developing world resource booms.

VL - 26 IS - 3 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Food insecurity in urban areas, particularly in developing countries, is a persistent yet poorly understood phenomenon. Food security interventions have primarily focused on ensuring food availability, a focus that has resulted in predominantly production-oriented responses that presuppose a rural challenge, overlooking urban food insecurity challenges. This view generally precipitates welfarist or project-driven interventions in urban areas that are predominantly reactive, lacking strategic focus. Within the context of converging and mutually reinforcing global transitions, including the second urban transition, the food system transition and the nutrition transition, alternative urban food governance innovations are emerging. Urban food governance innovations are particularly evident in the Global North, with an emerging trend in South American cities. A gap exists in understanding food governance processes in growing South African cities, in particular how these processes intersect with a wider discourse on food system change. This paper draws on original analysis of emerging food governance trends and posits that a food lens offers opportunities to explore innovative forms of urban governance, participatory planning and citizen-driven food policy formulation.

VL - 26 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Amidst the recurrence of xenophobic attacks across South Africa, immigration researchers have examined the nexus among immigrant business practices, xenophobic discourses, and specific contexts of inclusion and exclusion in South African cities. Recent migration literature has highlighted differentiation within immigrant business communities while also turning attention to the spatialities of immigrant businesses. Building on this research, the authors examine multiple fields of economic and political power at work in inner-city immigrant business areas of Johannesburg as capitalist business and economies of scale have begun to replace bootstrap entrepreneurship in certain areas. They employ Bourdieu's conception of fields of power and de Certeau's distinction between strategies of the powerful and tactics of the subordinate to examine immigrant economic practices at multiple levels within and between the business communities. Based on interviews and extensive site observation in inner-city Johannesburg, this study examines the broad strategies of immigrant groups, such as enclave formation and immigrant insertion in niche markets. The authors highlight how overlapping interests within and beyond immigrant groups create specific realms within the ambit of broad strategiesrealms that informal workers, both foreign and local, navigate and appropriate.

VL - 14 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The fact that colonialism had an extensive impact on the socio-political and economic systems of African communities remains incontrovertible. Though different African states had established diverse traditional political systems prior to colonial rule, colonialism introduced the European model of public administration. In some areas, the British "indirect rule" system, which was premised on administration through African leaders and educated elites, modified the pre-colonial political structures. Colonialism also restructured the pre-existing geographical composition of various African kingdoms. This study examines the administrative structure of Ikorodu, Nigeria, during the colonial era. The paper presents a historical analysis of the administrative machinery, organisational structure, and territorial delimitations of Ikorodu during colonialism. It concludes that colonial rule was a precursor to the administrative structure and geographical demarcation of today's Ikorodu Local Government Area of Lagos State. Ref., sum.

Starting from 1960, custodial mental health care services were progressively replaced by more conventional practices, which centred on medication, psychotherapy and the establishment of psychiatric regulatory bodies and institutions. The author argues that in spite of the transformations witnessed in mental health since 1960, the provision of services remained inadequate. It examines the chronological developments and how government interventions, such as the enactment of policies and legislations, establishment of institutions, committees, and regulatory bodies, and interventions by non-governmental institutions and individuals, influenced the provision of services. It concludes by demonstrating the inadequacies of the government and other stakeholders in this regard and why the adoption of the Mental Health Policy in 1991 in Lagos, became inevitable. Ref., sum.

VL - 14 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - Pirate attacks along Nigeria's inland waterways have increased since the end of the civil war in 1970. Advancements in boating technology and navigation, small arms availability and telecommunications have aided the sophistication of Nigerian pirates just as the calibre of culprits has grown from canoe operators and fishermen to include well connected drug runners, oil thieves and oil-pipeline vandals. Threats to Nigeria's national security are not only economic or socio-political but possibly even existential, since oil exports, which yield 20% of GDP, 95% of foreign exchange earnings, and 65% of budgetary revenues are strongly resisted by the militants. Increased pirate attacks were deployed to back up agitations for resource control and political autonomy by Niger Delta activists. Despite the Government's antipiracy efforts and orchestrated collaborations between the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and the Nigerian Navy, Nigeria witnessed a "resource war". This article examines the activities of pirates in Nigerian territorial waters and the extent to which they impose national security threats. The author finds that national security and the trend of piracy in the new millennium are likely to be moderated by improvements in law enforcement presence, firepower and the impact of corporate social responsibility by IOCs and associated stakeholders in the oil-rich delta region and the Lagos axis.

Some twenty years later, historian James Coleman in his book "Nigeria: Background to Nationalism" (1986) argued that " developments outside Nigeria had important repercussions upon the growth of postwar nationalism. These centred mainly around the activities of Nigerian students abroad." (p.239). He then noted that the "twenty-eight African wartime students in America, with one or two exceptions, became leaders in the nationalist movement of their respective countries" (p.244). Though the work of the West African Students Union (WASU) in London has been chronicled, there is still no full write-up of the African Students Association of America and Canada (ASA) formed in 1942 by these students. In fact, Coleman minimizes the numbers of Africans studying in the USA during the 1930s and 1940s. Who were these students? What were they studying in in the USA, and when? Did they influence the USA or was the influence reciprocal? Is there any linkage between those early years and the increasing interest of the USA in Africa? Did their experiences in the USA influence the students' subsequent political activism for self-government, and perhaps even for Ibo independence? Did the students influence the newly established United Nations? This article is a chronological introduction to the activities of the African Students Association. Notes, ref., sum.

VL - 14 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - The experiment with liberal democracy in Zimbabwe in the first two decades of independence revolved around five major problems: (1) the controversy over the prospect of a one-party state; (2) the marginalization of, and problem of weak opposition parties until the year 2000; (3) the combinations and compromises between competitors for power which led to the dominance of one-party politics; (4) the strength of the state vis-…-vis that of society, as manifested in the desire of the state for predominance, in which the society remained at the mercy of the ruling party and the state; (5) the authoritarian political authority of Robert Mugabe as reflected in his great personal power within his party and the state. This article is an attempt to explain the origins of the problem and the nature of the struggle for power in Zimbabwe, providing an analytical account of the interplay of political conflict in the competition between the ruling elite and the opposition from 1980 to 2000. The outbreak of civil war in Matabeleland in the first decade of independence did much to intensify the bitterness of political intolerance. From 1990 till1995, the opposition agenda was interpreted as a problem of elite completion, but as political crisis lingered from 1996-2000, the wind of change led to the emergence of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) that provided the stimulus for a new social basis of opposition politics in 2000.

VL - 7 IS - 2): (2014) U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - During the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa, a mass-produced, plastic football supporters' horn known as the vuvuzela attracted worldwide fame and infamy. This article discusses the vuvuzela's construction as a material and sonorous register of "African" and "South African" cultural distinctiveness. Specifically, it discusses the production, circulation and consumption of its "African" cultural significance as a heritage form. It outlines the contested political and ideological economy, involving the South African state and football officials, FIFA, a local manufacturer, indigenous groups and football fans, through which the instrument travelled. Demonstrating the instrument's circulation through this network, the article shows how the construction and authentication of the vuvuzela materially and sonically staged the negotiation of notions of "Africanness" and "South Africanness", as well as their complex relationship in post-apartheid South Africa, during the tournament.

VL - 2 IS - 1 U2 - w38 U3 - Abstract available N2 - In Zambia it is generally agreed on by all stakeholders that the judicial system needs reform to make it more accountable, independent, and able to deliver justice efficiently and effectively. This article discusses judicial reform in the context of the independence of the judiciary. It tries to unpack the term judicial reform. It argues that for the rule of law and constitutionalism to prevail it is crucial that the judiciary is independent and there is separation of powers between the executive and the judiciary, and legislature and the judiciary. For judges to be personally and substantively independent they need security of tenure, and an appointment system that is transparent, takes merit and competence seriously and minimizes political influence in the appointments. While judges need to be accountable for their judgments there is need to guard against those who interpret accountability as getting judges who will deliver desired outcomes in judgments.
