The paper adopts a comparative approach to analyze the neocolonial predicament in Kenya and the legacies of the slave trade in the Caribbean through their respective novels Petals of Blood and Natives of My Person. A close examination of both novels reveals that the writers focused on the histories of Kenya and the Caribbean, attributing the predicament of the modern period to the past. The two writers, the essay will reveal, offer diagnoses of the problems of society and of human beings with Ngugi attributing malignancy to the political structures in Kenya, and Lamming arguing that malignancy is embedded in the human personality. While Ngugi’s radicalism sees hope for social change through a political revolution, Lamming’s psychological orientation as a novelist upholds internal change as a panacea for the Caribbean post–colonial predicament. In Kenya, the journey to Uhuru failed to materialize in the same way that the voyage to San Cristobal was aborted. Despite the author’s differences in political orientation, both novels draw upon historical and cultural experiences between Africa and the Caribbean providing a powerful assessment of the shared neocolonial condition.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1024d7k0articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8k99031q2023-12-29T10:17:40Zqt8k99031qFrom Bande de filles à Mariannes noires: Universalism and Decolonization of ImaginationNiang, Mame-Fatou2023-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8k99031qarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7b34w10c2023-12-29T10:17:39Zqt7b34w10c‘You got so much to bleed to clean slate’: Notes Toward a Black Philosophy of SkepticismArman, ZuriLang, Justin2023-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7b34w10carticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8fn6k0pv2023-12-29T10:17:38Zqt8fn6k0pvRadical AfricanismHale, Sondra2023-01-01Republished from Ufahamu 1972: Volume 3, Issue 2application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8fn6k0pvarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt98s6936z2023-12-29T10:17:37Zqt98s6936zUFAHAMU Interviews Dr. Robin D.G. KelleyKelley, Robin D.G.Hussein, SaraMartinez, ChrisFonseca, Desmond2023-01-01For this special retrospective issue commemorating 52 years of Ufahamu, the editors had the unique opportunity to interview former editor, and current Gary B. Nash Professor of American History at the University of California, Los Angeles, Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley. Dr. Kelley is a renowned historian of social movements, culture, labor struggle, and Black intellectualism in the U.S., African Diaspora and African continent himself. Known for such acclaimed publications as Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination, and Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression, Many are less familiar with Dr. Kelley’s background and academic training in African history. Dr. Kelley walks us through his time as a graduate student trying to study South African communists, and how Africa remained central in his work despite its shifting focus (in large part due to the political constraints of Apartheid) over the course of his time as a UCLA student. Becoming part of Ufahamu was amongst Dr. Kelley’s first endeavors on campus and, as he tells it, remained a hub of radical intellectualism throughout the 1980s. The conversation below spans a wide variety of topics, from his biographical experiences with the journal, and Dr. Kelley’s thoughts on shifting intellectual and political dynamics regarding Africa. The interview published below begins in the midst of our conversation on a discussion of a 1984 conference flyer and program handed to us and organized by Dr. Kelley titled “Imperialism: Real or Imagined . . . ” application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/98s6936zarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2bh0n70r2023-12-29T10:17:36Zqt2bh0n70rUFAHAMU Interviews Dr. Sondra HaleHale, SondraHussein, SaraMartinez, ChrisFonseca, Desmond2023-01-01For this special retrospective issue commemorating 52 years of Ufahamu, the editors had the unique opportunity to interview the journal’s co-founder Dr. Sondra Hale, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Gender Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. Ufahamu republished Dr. Hale’s powerful 1972 article “Radical Africanism” in this issue—here Hale explains the context of the piece and the political climate in which it was originally published. As a dedicated educator and accomplished academic, Professor Hale’s wide-reaching research includes investigating conflict, gender, citizenship, political movements, diaspora studies, and feminist art across Africa and the Middle East. Dr. Hale’s career is marked by a life-long commitment to both local and international feminist, anti-imperialist, and anti-racist organizing, making her a scholar-activist in the truest sense. In this interview, Hale takes us on a personal journey from Los Angeles to Sudan, guiding us through the history of Ufahamu, beginning with its contentious origins in 1970. application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2bh0n70rarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5hh3m5x12023-12-29T10:17:35Zqt5hh3m5x1Ufahamu 50 Years OnFonseca, Desmond2023-01-01Editorialapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5hh3m5x1articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt238629wc2023-12-29T10:17:35Zqt238629wcFront MatterEditors, Ufahamu2023-01-01Front Matter, Table of Contents, Contributorsapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/238629wcarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6t79q4gm2022-02-01T00:23:56Zqt6t79q4gmMsia Kibona Clark, Hip-Hop in Africa: Prophets of the City and Dustyfoot Philosophers (Athens: Ohio University Press, 2018). pp. 312.Chukwudike Okpalaeke, Patrick2022-01-01 application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6t79q4gmarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7533w2xq2022-02-01T00:23:55Zqt7533w2xq“From Historical Facts to Poetic Truths”: The Nigerian Civil War and Other Subjects: An Exploration of Texts and Images in PaintingOkwuosa, Tobenna2022-01-01 application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7533w2xqarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2vm4j7vc2022-02-01T00:23:54Zqt2vm4j7vcKeeping Safe From COVID-19Nabulime, Lilian M.2022-01-01 application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2vm4j7vcarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4dd0p6xq2022-02-01T00:23:53Zqt4dd0p6xqThe Predator in LoveMarboeuf, Olivier2022-01-01 application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4dd0p6xqarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2gh5x7rj2022-02-01T00:23:53Zqt2gh5x7rjAsking Different Questions: Case Studies in Collaborative Research from the Fowler Museum at UCLAJones, Erica P.Forbes, Carlee S.2022-01-01 application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2gh5x7rjarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt827809572022-02-01T00:23:51Zqt82780957For an Anti-Colonial Reading of the Racist Polemic on Miss FranceGabriel, Joao2022-01-01 application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/82780957articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt17v5q8sn2022-02-01T00:23:51Zqt17v5q8snCésars, Creation, Independence, and RadicalityGay, Amandine2022-01-01 application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/17v5q8snarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7g7328w42022-02-01T00:23:50Zqt7g7328w4EditorialLamontagne, Samuel2022-01-01 application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7g7328w4articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 43, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9q24t26f2022-02-01T00:23:49Zqt9q24t26fTransnational Migration, Identity, and the African Literary ExperienceAhmed, Kabir2022-01-01
This essay seeks to examine transnational migration by looking primarily at 20
th-
century writers historicizing the concept of the ‘post-colonial’ and pointing to its development as captured in their writing. In the paper, transnational migration is viewed as the movement of persons across national boundaries where the migrants live their lives across borders, participating simultaneously in social relations that embed them in more than one nation-state, and in which there is a process by which such immigrants forge and sustain multi-stranded social relations that link together their societies of origin and settlement. Going by this definition, all major African writers (such as Ayi Kwei Armah, Chinua Achebe, Ben Okri, and the like), with the possible exception of Ayi Kwei Armah, are transmigrants. This is because their migration took place—is taking place—within fluid social spaces and identity-forming contexts, which are constantly reworked through their simultaneous connectedness to more than one society. In this case, the term that better expresses this situation is ‘post-colonial’. Although there is a growing community of African writers and artists living in the West, it is uncertain how they might influence the events, politics, and cultural discussions within their original homeland. The conclusion is that it is not clear how the transmigration of African intellectuals could help shape the identity and tenor of the post-colonial African literary experience, which has been historically and culturally shaped by the impact of the African colonial experience. In this sense, then, recent migration by the African literati (specifically novelists) to the West is only the latest version of the pull that Europe and the United States of America exert on African post-colonial identity. This is not likely to slow down in the foreseeable future.

This article analyzes the contested historical narrative behind the Mbeere’s role in the Mau Mau movement. Specifically, it explores the role of memorialization and marginalization in reconfiguring this past. With respect to the latter, the Mbeere were ostracized from the Mau Mau movement after the Kenyan Parliament, headed by Dedan Kimathi, sought to consolidate support by encouraging local officials to lobby bordering ethnic groups. As a result, the Mbeere, who were suspected to be pro-government and anti-Mau Mau, faced brutal reprisals from the Kikuyu and the Embu, key players in the movement. Although the physical violence may have ended, the symbolic violence of denial and ostracism persists as the Mau Mau movement’s memory is popularized and commodified through the British government’s acknowledgement of their abuse against Kenyans in the Mau Mau struggle. The dominant history of the Mau Mau rebellion is harrowing for the Mbeere Mau Mau veterans, who in fact existed and fought tenaciously against the British but were subsequently omitted from these narratives. This article draws on oral testimonies and archival sources to explore this history and potential avenues for official recognition and memorialization.

The tradition of the origin of the Yorùbá people of Western Nigeria, Republic of Benin, Togo, and the Diaspora indicate one source, Ilé-Ifè, where the varieties of their indigenous political system originated. However, since the colonial period, a debate remains about the place of the Oòni, the King of Ilé-Ifè, in the political and religious systems of the Yorùbá nation, which has led to a perennial discourse across Yorùbáland. Using literature, primary sources such as oral interviews, and participant observations of rituals and festivals spanning several years, this study critically analyses the position of the Oòni in the religious system of Ilé-Ifè. The findings of this study reveal that the festivals in Ilé-Ifè are within the purview of certain family compounds headed by the Ìsòrò (king-priests). It also discovered that the mandatory performance of the Oòni in Ifè festivals is limited the Ìdìó, Olójó, Edì, Ìtàpá, Pokùlere and Ifá festivals only. The participatory role of the Oòni is reflective of the commemoration of the important culture heroes of Ile-Ife who have reigned before Lajamisan, the originator of the current dynasty in the Ìtàpá festival of Obàtálá, Ìdìó festival of Odùduwà, Olójó festival of Ògún, and Pokùlere festival of Obalùfòn. The study further reveals that in the Edì and Ifá festivals, the Oòni re-enacts the performance of the previous Ifè kings in the epochal events in the history of Ilé-Ifè considered important enough to be re-enacted. In line with existing debate about the nature of the religious or political status of the King of Ifè, this study concludes that the structure of the Ifè religious system does not underscore the Johnsonian theory ascribing the role of a chief priest to the Oòni.

The primary objective of the present paper is to explore the patriotic resistance movement of the Mareko people of south-central Ethiopia against Italy’s colonialist aggression and five-year occupation between 1935 and 1941. The paper also uncovers the role played by the Mareko people and other ethno-linguistic individual freedom fighters who opposed the Fascist administration within the Mareko woreda (district). Though the then governor of the Dobena sub-district and his officers became the leading collaborators (banda) with the Fascist administrators, the majority of the Mareko people strongly resisted these detractors. Like other nations, nationalities and peoples of Ethiopia, the estimated 110 Mareko marched against the invaders at the battle of Maychew in 1936 despite enduring major casualties. Acknowledging the local spiritual leadership of Wärѐqѐ Märeyamѐ and Qegnazmach Tuji Anjilo, this paper celebrates the local Mareko defiance in staving off the encroaching Italian regime’s divide and rule tactics specifically, and retaliatory colonialism in general.

Solar energy development in Tanzania is steeped in discourses of Western technological transfer whereby the devices themselves are lauded as central innovating agents—the “doers”—that are solutions to local poverty. The trend intensifies in Maasai spaces, where a long history of marginalization in development projects has shaped the narratives of energy change around the practices and perspectives of pastoralists. In this paper, drawing from ethnographic work on Tanzania’s solar energy landscape, including 50 unstructured interviews with Maasai herders, city-dwellers of Arusha, Tanzania, and representatives from foreign solar energy firms, I show how the Maasai reconfigure incoming solar energy devices through locally generated knowledges, philosophies, and technologies in calculated efforts to chart their own futures. Using a sociotechnical imaginaries approach, I analyze interviews, historical literature and other relevant documents to underscore how Maasai pastoralists are central innovating agents in a shifting sociotechnical landscape who engineer and inscribe their own meanings onto solar power. The Maasai repurpose solar energy technologies as tools of negotiation between modern development initiatives prioritized by the national government and foreign solar companies and their own desires to remain anchored to elastic ancestral traditions grounded in the special relationship between herders and livestock. By discussing how solar energy is used and imagined in Maasai communities and combining that analysis with a history of top-down energy imaginaries in Tanzania, I hope to provide new platforms for (re-)imagining solar energy, pastoralism, and Maasai participation in technological futures.

The enormous contributions of global African scholars to the academic fields of arts, social sciences, and humanities cannot be understated. This accomplishment has not received adequate recognition in a world dominated by Western scholarship. This domination is not unexpected because the production, distribution, and consumption of knowledge are historically charged, both politically and economically. It is not accidental that the domineering “international” publishers and journals in the global academy are based in the West. Knowledge production in the field of African studies has been affected by this reality. Hence, there is an urgent need to transcend current methodological and pedagogical approaches. Because knowledge is the bulwark of the survival of any group of people, global African scholars in the field of African studies have the mandate of heeding the warnings of the Senegalese historian Cheikh Anta Diop. Diop has argued that for African scholarship to attain the distinct recognition it deserves, scholars have the duty of uncovering the commonness and interconnectedness of global African peoples’ historical experiences. While it is correct that geography plays a great role in the production of historical knowledge, the direction of African studies can be aimed at creating a platform for a homogenized pan-African mandate. This paper charged that in achieving the mission of adequate knowledge production by African scholars for the use of global Africans and of the world, the African academy must necessarily be liberated from the dominance of Western scholarship. There will be a reliance on primary and secondary sources in making a case for an encompassing pan-African emancipatory scholarship.

African photography has long been closely linked to portraiture, initially in the way that it was used as an ethnographic tool during the colonial period and eventually as a means of visual identity-building and self-fashioning in studio photography when Africans appropriated the form and decided to use it for themselves. It can be argued that portraiture, in its ability for representation, perhaps lends itself to photography that is linked to identity politics. However, by looking at the works of three artists, Edson Chagas, Francois-Xavier Gbré, and Mame-Diarra Niang, this essay looks at the ways in which these African photographers approach issues of identity and diaspora without using the portrait, but rather by interrogating the form of photography itself, and its relation to the photographer’s subjectivity. These three artists all photograph various African cities, specifically Luanda, Abidjan, and Dakar, from their own distinct diasporic viewpoints, whether as returnees or as visitors to their parents’ hometowns. By doing this, they propose a new direction for diasporic African photography, one in which the fragmented form of the images can speak to the hybridity of their identities. Thus, this essay aims to interrogate the idea that portraiture is the only way in which the African experience can be accurately represented. By looking at the work of three contemporary photographers, I will examine the way they bring their own experiences and subjectivities to the non-figurative and imbue it with a renewed sense of identity.

In discussing the cultural and historical development of a place, it is important to note that in a company of written records and oral traditions, the archaeological record plays a critical part in illuminating the past. Archaeological research in Nigeria dates back to the precolonial period, and over time, several discoveries have been made in different locations reflecting the history and culture of ancient Nigeria. However, when examining the archaeological discoveries and sites within the country, we observe the nonexistence of significant examples of archaeological evidence peculiar to Akwa Ibom State. This shows that the place of archaeology has been neglected over time, and an obvious void does exist. Why is this so in Akwa Ibom State? What factors led to the neglect or deficiency and how can these be tackled? This article brings this dearth to the fore and calls the attention of designated authorities, relevant institutions, stakeholders within the state, and archaeologists within the country to this all-important issue that lies unexplored. A response to this call will significantly improve the cultural and historical development and, in the long run, give global recognition to the state and country at large.

Although Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s musical career began in the 1950s, it was in the 1970s that he emerged as a formidable force on the scene. This was not just because of the multifaceted Afrobeat genre that he generated, or his versatility as an instrumentalist, but because he used his music, incomparably, to expose corruption, confront the excesses of government and slam the acquiescence of the larger populace. Sadly, however, his greatest hit, “Zombie” (1976), has been widely misconstrued as an attack on Nigeria’s military, particularly the army. While the zombie theme may, in part, scoff at military regimented traditions, it disseminates a much wider message that condemns complicity and docility in the face of subjugation. This is despite the display of army personnel on the jacket of the original album, and recurring cynical commands that have been erroneously restricted to military parade protocol. To describe “Zombie” as an attack on the military is to relegate Fela’s message to a narrow social context. Ironically, the denunciation of robotic compliance, which is the focal point of “Zombie,” is a theme that Fela also captures in another song on the Zombie album, “Mr. Follow” (1976). The motif is repeated in other songs by Fela, including but not limited to “Shuffering & Shmiling” (1978) and, in part, “Sorrow, Tears & Blood” (1977). It was not Fela’s style to shroud his message in telling images, as he was known to audaciously call the proverbial spade a spade. When he decided to castigate the army, he did so unashamedly in songs like “Army Arrangement” (1984) and “Unknown Soldier” (1979). To analyze Fela’s “Zombie” effectively, therefore, it is necessary to do so in relation to other songs he released and within the context of his wider vision as a musician.

This essay examines the activism and scholarship of two South African sociologists and African Studies professors, Bernard Magubane and Anthony Ngubo during their time as graduate students at UCLA in the 1960s. Focusing on Magubane and Ngubo, I argue that migrant students from Southern Africa used research and protest politics to contest the postwar racial liberal ideology that dominated African studies and sectors of the civil rights and anti-apartheid movements from Southern California to Southern Africa. Ngubo, Magubane, and their colleagues united with the struggles of the Black working class in Los Angeles. They used their research and activism to challenge Cold War liberal ideas of life in California and the United States by likening the struggles of African Americans to the plight of Blacks in Southern Africa.

In 2014 and 2018, the government effectively banned two films by local directors (The Stories of Our Lives and Rafiki) for including the LGBTQ community in this discourse. Within the same period, officials banned The Wolf of Wall Street and Fifty Shades of Grey, both by international directors, for their explicit sexual content. The bans attracted public attention and triggered a debate over the country’s censorship laws in particular and gender identity in general. However, while paying specific attention to postcolonial censorship laws that aimed to retain the status quo, the debaters failed to ground their arguments in their proper historical context. To better understand censorship in Kenya, we must first understand its history during the colonial period (1895-1963), a period that saw the colonizer attempt to construct for the colonized a morally acceptable identity. This construction saw the British colonial government shield African cinema audiences from films that they thought would teach them undesirable behaviors. To achieve this goal, censorship officials censored films with “questionable” scenes. This study connects the present and the past, broadens present censorship and gender debates by deepening our collective imagination of real and imagined laws, and incentivizes the debaters to think broadly about continuity without change in Kenya. It vacates rigid chronologies and does not purport to provide a definitive history of censorship and identity during the two historical periods, even if such a history were possible to produce. Broadly, the study situates censorship within a long history of framing and re-framing identities and, consequently, contributes to a more complex understanding of the chaotic interplay among power, art, and identity.IdentityHistoryKenyaCinemaFilmColonialPost-Colonialapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8v7112b0articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 42, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3jm9186m2021-07-02T01:32:13Zqt3jm9186mCustomary Law in Anglophone Cameroon and the Repugnancy Doctrine: An Insufficient Complement to Human RightsKiye, Mikano Emmanuel2021-01-01
This paper examines the application of the repugnancy doctrine in the administration of customary law in Anglophone Cameroon and unravels the relationship it fosters with human rights. The paper adopts a qualitative methodology grounded in doctrinal research and argues that state courts of Anglophone Cameroon have shown an exaggerated reliance on the doctrine and have readily invoked it as an alternative measure to incorporate human rights norms in their jurisprudence. The inference to be drawn from this development is that state courts are employing the repugnancy doctrine as a medium to engage with human rights in the enforcement of customary law. This is an unfortunate development given that, in the absence of clear standards of application, the repugnancy doctrine provides wide discretionary latitude to judges who, as case law reveals, may deflect interest in the enforcement of human rights. Consequently, the doctrine has been relied upon to justify standards that are contrary to those professed by human rights principles. The paper asserts forcefully that, irrespective of its nexus with human rights, the doctrine remains an unreliable alternative to human rights. It advocates for the repeal of the doctrine and equally encourages state courts to engage more with human rights, as enshrined in Cameroon’s 1996 constitution, which, unlike the repugnancy doctrine, provides precise and unambiguous standards.

This article reshapes modernist study through a historical approach. In a move to decenter and decolonize modernism, I focus here on its emergence in decolonizing Nigeria of the 1960s, specifically in the poetry of Christopher Okigbo, contending that modernism is an aesthetic movement that must be understood in its relation to colonialism, imperialism, and coloniality. I sketch out the coloniality of knowledge and being in Nigeria, or the ways in which colonialism has continued to impact Nigerian governance and political life, long after the country’s nominal liberation from British rule. I approach coloniality by examining notions of progress and development and the western standards to which these concepts are bound. Okigbo’s work, and its critical reception, form the centerpiece of my analysis. Like Nigerian economics, Okigbo’s poetry has been overdetermined through neocolonial notions of progress and development. I posit Okigbo’s poetry instead as a modernist negotiation of colonial history and western art, one consistently engaging with an ongoing colonial presence. From this perspective, a modernist study emerges that is comparative but not assimilative. The importance of postcolonial literature for the study of any modern art is thereby demonstrated in a decolonizing move that dwells upon the local rather than the marginal.

This paper offers a critique to the present-day biomedical health care system in Equatorial Guinea. It argues that biomedical care represents a failure to meet its people’s needs. A preliminary research study and the collection of published work and data drawn from observations during 2017 and 2018 concluded that the current Equatoguinean dictatorship has negatively influenced the development and success of biomedicine as a model of equitable and accessible medicine, and quality health care for all. Despite the investments of global health organizations and the government’s commitments, the rates of maternal, child, and infant mortality remain high while the prevalence of endemic and epidemic diseases, such as malaria and HIV/AIDS, continues to rise. In addition, biomedical infrastructures lack committed and caring medical personnel, efficient technological environments, accessible and affordable health care programs, and awareness campaigns that reach out to the population. This paper highlights the reasons why biomedical care in Equatorial Guinea fails to meet its people’s needs. Biomedicine was rooted and developed within a social, political, and economic terrain dominated by colonialism and two consecutive dictatorships. All of the institutional mechanisms that sustain the country are controlled by the head of state. Under the reigns of the head of state, international agencies and non-independent medical institutions lead the practice and development of biomedical care. There is real lack of incentive for Equatoguineans to participate in educational and practical enterprises that may lead to a better understanding of the roles that biomedicine can play in daily life. Health care programs and awareness campaigns fail to reach the population due to a lack of full commitment to involve communities. Biomedical care in Equatorial Guinea constitutes a failure on the part of international agencies and non-independent
medical institutions to meet people’s needs, due, first and foremost, to the marginalization of the civil society and other healing systems, as well as to unlawful tendencies to fulfill obligations, limited investment, control over non-independent institutional spheres, disparity in care, and medical and educational maldistribution. This paper intends to foment further investigation into the social, economic, and political contexts of the diseases, endemic illnesses, and epidemics that are currently impacting bodies in Equatorial Guinea. This paper encourages further inquiry into the ways in which learning about perceptions, healthcare-seeking trajectories, and health care systems can support solving health and healthcare problems. The goal is to open debate over possible ways in which medical anthropologists can support rising mechanisms for quality health care, inclusivity, community, and freedom of expression.

However, its impact on some minority groups has been largely neglected. This oversight has affected scholarly treatment of how forces emanating from the war impacted the Anioma people. Though predominantly Igbo-speaking, the Anioma were geographically on the Nigerian side during the war. The dynamics of the war as an ethnic conflict ensured that Aniomaland was a major battlefront. At the end of the war, the Anioma were a distressed group. Houses, homes, careers, dreams, aspirations and individuals lay in ruins. This left the people and their territory in need of major rehabilitation. This article focuses on the rehabilitation and reintegration of the Anioma into the society. It attempts this against the background of the Nigerian government’s policy of rehabilitation and the trumpeted principle of “no victor, no vanquished,” which dominates discourses on the war. Employing primary and secondary sources, the work probes how the Anioma people fared under the post-war rehabilitation program at different levels. It argues that it was difficult for the Nigerian government and society to completely forget the bitterness of the war even while implementing the rehabilitation program. This left the program struggling to manage two diametrically opposed principles, resulting in its merely scratching the surface after promising much.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0nw283jjarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 42, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0952z1k02020-12-05T19:17:23Zqt0952z1k0A Momentous Year: On Protest and Pandemic Shaping Our FutureLieber, TaliaWolff, Rebecca2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0952z1k0articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 42, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8490g8k82020-12-05T19:17:22Zqt8490g8k8Table of ContentsUfahamu, A Journal of African Studies2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8490g8k8articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 42, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt02t7n3w22020-12-05T19:17:22Zqt02t7n3w2ContributorsUfahamu, A Journal of African Studies2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/02t7n3w2articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 42, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2wj7h5m22020-12-05T19:17:21Zqt2wj7h5m2Front MatterUfahamu, A Journal of African Studies2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2wj7h5m2articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 42, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6g19h9dz2020-02-05T00:28:26Zqt6g19h9dzMildred Mortimer, Women Fight, Women Write: Texts on the Algerian War (Charlottesville; London: University of Virginia Press, 2018). pp. 284.Rae, Alexis2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6g19h9dzarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 41, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3w7720pf2020-02-05T00:28:25Zqt3w7720pfTamba M’Bayo, Muslim Interpreters in Colonial Senegal, 1850-1920: Mediations of Knowledge and Power in the Lower and Middle Senegal River Valley (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2016). pp. 234.Temkin, Rebecca2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3w7720pfarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 41, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt24v9q5jd2020-02-05T00:28:24Zqt24v9q5jdGavin Steingo, Kwaito’s Promise: Music and the Aesthetics of Freedom in South Africa (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2016). pp. 320.Cox, Laura2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/24v9q5jdarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 41, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8894b5dx2020-02-05T00:28:23Zqt8894b5dxPoems | Condolence Register | The TrystAjidahun, Clement Olujide2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8894b5dxarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 41, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt71x6q1hf2020-02-05T00:28:22Zqt71x6q1hfArtwork | My DreamBulti, Girma2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/71x6q1hfarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 41, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2r04q9fx2020-02-05T00:28:21Zqt2r04q9fxArtwork | Ije Agwo (Snake)Ubah, Rita Doris Edumchieke2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2r04q9fxarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 41, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0qn1q92h2020-02-05T00:28:20Zqt0qn1q92hArtwork | ExodusAzuonye, Chike2020-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0qn1q92harticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 41, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3x6106n02020-02-05T00:28:19Zqt3x6106n0A Marxian Analysis on The Bond Between Capitalism and the Oppression of Nigerian Women Since Colonial TimesFagunwa, Temitope2020-01-01
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, there have been several attempts to diminish the significance of Marxism in academia. It is clear that, despite the large body of work on the dialectics of the subjugation and challenges of women today, only an inconsequential fraction of research examines the contribution of the capitalist mode of production towards this reality. This study examines the systematic oppression and exploitation of Nigerian women since the introduction of capitalism into the Nigerian context. The study contends that several sexist policies enacted by the British colonialist government facilitated the capitalist exploitation of the Nigerian masses and that the global exploitation of women is inseparable from capitalism.

While Ngozi Omeje looks at the place of the girl-child from the Igbo’s cultural world view using the platform of the theater, Amma Darko explores the predicament and the subjugation of the girl-child from the Ghanaian socio-cultural perspective using the novel as her medium. This paper examines the predicaments and the socio-cultural prejudice against the girl-child in the patriarchal society of Nigeria and in matriarchal Ghanaian society. The theoretical framework of the paper is based on the feminist sociological theory that re-examines and compares the treatment of women vis-a-vis men in society. This theory also evaluates issues of bias, prejudice and discrimination against women, and by implication the girl-child, to determine whether or not women have been fairly or justly treated in society. This paper establishes, based on visual and non-visual signifiers in the texts, that the girl-child is a victim of discrimination in both Nigerian and Ghanaian societies. Both texts confirm the hostility of society towards the girl-child, and its preference for the men who are seen to be more reliable and dependable, and who are believed to be the carriers and preservers of the seed of progeny. This paper analyzes the writers’ condemnation of these prejudicial, discriminatory and hostile behavioral attitudes against the girl-child. Both texts are thus interpreted as a biting satire against gender discrimination in African societies.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6g02x3p4articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 41, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt17c6d1sb2020-02-05T00:28:17Zqt17c6d1sbThe Vitality of Yoruba Culture in the AmericasUdo, Emem Michael2020-01-01
How did Africans create homes for themselves and maintain ancestral practices after being forcefully taken across the Middle Passage as enslaved people into various regions of the New and Old Worlds? In the Americas, they found themselves in a place clearly distinct from African cultural and geographical landscapes and were forced to adapt to strange climates and contend with alien cultures unfamiliar to those of their homeland. Rather than being completely steamrolled by colonial pressure, however, Africans of various ethnicities actively contended with the diverse influences of the colonial context. Such practices have, in turn, shaped the continued cultural diversity of the Americas to this day. This paper explores the diffusion and vitality of Yoruba culture, in particular throughout the nineteenth century in Brazil, Haiti, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago, where Yoruba forms of religion, Roman Catholic sensibilities, and indigenous cosmographies formed hybridized spiritualties and worldviews. This paper interprets historical evidence alongside secondary sources and contemporary cases in order to evaluate how the conjunctural forces brought about by slavery, colonialism, and inter-culturation occasioned the formation of Yoruba Atlantic and Afro-Latinx religions such as Candomble, Santeria, and Voodoo, as well as Orisha practices. This paper also examines how such spiritualties and worldviews have contributed to the complex social and cultural composition of the Americas in the modern world. It pays special attention to the conflictual and creative energies surrounding cultural diffusion and cross-cultural migration. Although various African ethnicities were brought across the Atlantic, Yoruba cultural practices have survived with a sustained intensity.

The policy of segregation is undoubtedly a resented feature of colonial rule in Africa. However, discussions of the residential racial segregation policy of the British colonial administration in Africa invariably focus on “settler colonies” of South, Central, and East Africa. British colonial West Africa hardly features in such discussions since it is widely believed that these areas, which had no large-scale European settler populations, had no experience relevant to any meaningful discussion of multi-racial colonial relationships. Some studies even deny the existence of racially segregated areas in places other than the settler colonies. Despite evidence that residential racial segregation formed one of the principles that facilitated the implementation of British colonial policy in Nigeria, the Nigerian experience has not been given a fully coherent treatment. This paper examines Nigeria’s experience of officially directed residential segregation. It argues that while residential segregation policies were justified along policies related to health, sanitation, and disease prevention, the motive also derived from the demonstration of racial supremacy and civilization, which was the ideological justification for empires in Africa. It also argues that Lugard may have been impacted by the execution of this policy in India, where he left to become Governor of Nigeria in 1913. While the settler colonies had important dimensions in this inter-racial relationship, colonial Nigeria was not spared the experience of such racially motivated segregation, as the indigenes took to petitions and other means to protest this racial policy. Although Nigeria cannot claim the same intensity of deprivation as was associated with this policy in many British colonies, the pattern that emerged endured throughout the colonial and postcolonial periods.

A.Adepoju, Adewale2018-01-01
The recent clamor by some African leaders for an integrated Africa, anchored on the notion of a quasi-federal government as championed by Kwame Nkrumah and other radical Pan-Africanists in the early 1960s, has revived an issue that many thought had been buried at the 1963 Addis Ababa conference. It has also placed the radical variant of Pan-Africanism on the discursive radar. Against this background, this article adopts descriptive, historical, and analytical methods to retrospectively examine and to provide a prospective prognosis on the place of radical Pan-Africanism in the African integration project. In it, we show that many agential and structural factors have frustrated and continue to frustrate attempts to achieve the supranational African community promoted by radical Pan- Africanists. We argue that these factors cannot be divorced from the nature of post-colonial African states, which offer opportunities to ruling elites that a supranational environment cannot.

In Africa, land tenure and ownership are crucial to food production, family structure, individual and collective identity, and social and economic development. However, the black majorities in South Africa and in Senegal have long been deprived of land through the land-grabbing practices of colonial-era settlers and foreign interests, which have resulted in homelessness, insecure land tenure, and the undermining of personal and collective identities. Government land-redistribution efforts either remain stagnant or occur too slowly to help currently landless individuals. This has led to a new land-grabbing phenomenon where Africans reclaim land by illegally occupying, and building shacks on, state-owned land. Such land-grabbing has caused government conflicts with residents and has resulted in apartheid-style evacuations, which have left people homeless and functionally landless. In this context, the question of majority land-access has reemerged. South Africa’s
and Senegal’s
constitutions stipulate access to secure land tenure and, if adequately applied, could help reduce urbanization and boost economic activity and agricultural production. This article demonstrates how land is crucial to a country’s economic development and to its efforts to reduce poverty among its citizens...

Previous scholars have suggested varied opinions about the history of the Maguzawa people. While some have argued that the term Maguzawa (plural) is a Hausa word, others have asserted that Bamaaguje derives from the Arabic word Majus, which means a Magian adherent of Magaaism. Magaaism was a religion similar to Zoroastrianism. Among the Hausa people, some have argued that the Maguzawa form one of the ethnic groups of the Hausa Kingdom and are descendants of Maguji, one of the eleven traditional Chiefs of Kasa Hausa (Hausaland). Presently, some people use the term to refer to those who, even after the Jihad of Uthman dan Fodio in 1804 in the northern part of the country, have refused to accept the new religion and thus either have continued traditional worship or have accepted Christianity. Both Temple (1922) and Smith (1987) have characterized these people as traditional Hausa families (indigenous people) who were untouched by Islam and who escaped the authority of Sarkin Dare. Scholars have also argued that, as a way of avoiding the new religion, the Maguzawa fled to the country’s interior while the new religion was established in major cities and created a new aristocratic class...

In this article, I trace the multiple layers of meaning behind the words “bosal” and “kongo” in contemporary Haiti. I read the sociopolitical origins of the two terms, both of which issue from the slave era, and trouble the attributes that scholars traditionally ascribe to them. I also explore how two Haitian folklore characters, Uncle Bouki and Ti Malis, reflect and comment on historical and contemporary class divisions. Then, using interviews as a basis for my discussion, I explore the two terms’ varied meanings within popular culture before analyzing them as terms not only of denigration but also of empowerment. To do this, I compare popular uses of the terms with the appropriation of the term “nigger” in African American popular culture.

In 1996, a group of notable Ugandan women writers created FEMRITE, the Ugandan Women Writers Association. Over the last twenty years, it has become an essential element of Ugandan literary society, the largest and most successful women’s writing group in East Africa, and one of the most influential literary communities on the African continent. Because of cultural and political violence in the region, a large proportion of FEMRITE’s writings reflect various forms of trauma. This calls for engagement with trauma theories. I argue that through strategies of narrative recuperation and the establishment of communities, FEMRITE has created avenues for women writers, their subjects, and their readers to engender healing from trauma. After discussing FEMRITE’s social programs, such as interviewing war refugees or AIDS victims, I analyze two texts by FEMRITE author Beatrice Lamwaka to demonstrate the manifestations of trauma in her stories and the ways they are narrated, as well as the way Lamwaka uses narrative and community to work through her own personal trauma. Through an analysis of its organizations and publications, I show that FEMRITE offers a uniquely optimistic and socially persuasive approach to trauma and healing.

Without challenging hegemony, liberal Francophone African feminists unearth aspects of patriarchal African cultural practices that objectify women. In contrast, radical Francophone African feminists call for drastic change to these practices through reappropriating the female body as a way to liberate African women from patriarchal oppression. They challenge the patriarchal order by opposing gender roles and stereotypes and by taking a decisive stand for total female liberation. They call for a radical reordering of patriarchal societies through the annulment of binary oppositions that classify women as “other.” In this article, I follow Judith Butler’s lead in Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of Sex1 and explore Calixthe Beyala’s commitment to African women’s liberation from oppression. Beyala’s approach presents auto-eroticism, homicide, infanticide, refusal of marriage, bodily and psychical dis-eroticization, and physical transformation of female bodies as strategies to secure women’s freedom.

The Nigerian Civil War of 1967-1970 represents a dark past but provides an intriguing basis to develop a history that enables us to understand Nigeria’s direction. It is against this backdrop that this paper examines the impact of the Nigerian Civil War on the educational decline in the University of Ibadan. While some effects were immediate, such as diminishing student admissions and enrollments, a decline in postgraduate studies, and the insecurity of lives and property, other long-term effects manifested themselves after the war include problems such as displaced families, ethnic chauvinism, and the reabsorption of the Easterners into the University community. This work relies heavily on primary sources, archival materials, newspapers, and secondary sources to make its case. civil warsuniversitiesUniversity of Ibadaneducationapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/06k420fcarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7xf4w6v72018-09-21T18:27:00Zqt7xf4w6v7Coloniality of Knowledge and the Challenge of Creating African FuturesNdlovu, Morgan2018-01-01One of the difficult questions facing the continent of Africa today is the question of whether the peoples of Africa can possibly experience a fundamentally different future from the present, while still trapped by colonial domination in their ways of knowing, seeing and imagining. This question is quite challenging, not only because colonial domination in the sphere of knowledge production has played a role of emptying the minds of African subjects of their knowledges and memories, but has also played a part in implanting foreign ways of knowing and remembering. In this paper, I argue that the peoples of Africa cannot possibly imagine a future “otherwise” without transcending colonial domination in the sphere of knowledge production. Thus, I deploy the case study of the Pan- African University (PAU), to argue that colonial domination in African ways of knowing leads to a crisis of “repetition without change,” even in instances where an effort is made to decolonize knowledge with the aim of crafting a different future for the peoples of Africa. modernity/colonialityknowledgeuniversitydecolonialityPan-African University (PAU)application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7xf4w6v7articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7m4698072018-09-21T18:26:59Zqt7m469807The Emphasis to the History of the South African Liberation Struggle in the Nation’s UniversitiesHouston, Gregory F.Twala, ChitjaMajozi, Nkululeko2018-01-01This article analyses the emphasis given to the teaching of the South African liberation struggle history at the country’s universities. Although this history has been analyzed in books, chapters, journal articles, conference papers, theses,and dissertations by South African scholars working in various disciplines, it is generally underrepresented in the curricula of the country’s universities. This absence stems, at least in part, from the racial segregation that divided South African universities until the end of Apartheid in 1994. Today, the overwhelming majority of lecturers devote, on average, six or fewer of their annual class sessions to the subject, when most university modules run from seven to fourteen weeks. Despite the limited time given to topics on South African liberation struggle history, a majority of academics surveyed in history and political science departments believe that their institution’s undergraduate curriculum deals sufficiently with the history. Thus, aside from some notable exceptions, South African departments of history and political science have failed to integrate this eld within the broader study of national history. As a result, most university-educated South Africans lack post-secondary formal study on the history of the liberation struggle, a reality that affects the development of research and scholarship on this topic. application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7m469807articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5wr073nc2018-09-21T18:26:57Zqt5wr073ncDecolonizing Knowledge in South Africa: Dismantling the ‘pedagogy of big lies’Heleta, Savo2018-01-01The colonial and apartheid knowledge systems and Eurocentrism have not been sufficiently questioned, let alone transformed, during the first two decades of democracy in South Africa. The movement to decolonize higher education was launched by students in 2015. The fact that the students are at the forefront of the campaign for decolonization and not the university leaders, academics, and administrators tells a lot about the state of higher education in post-apartheid South Africa and the continued maintenance of the hegemonic status quo when it comes to the knowledge, teaching, learning, and research at the country’s universities. Decolonization of knowledge is crucial in order to rewrite histories, reassert the dignity of the oppressed and refocus the knowledge production and worldviews for the sake of the present and the future of the country and its people, as well as the rest of the African continent. The dismantling of the ‘pedagogy of big lies’ rooted in colonialism and apartheid will require a complete reconstruction of the epistemological model. The decolonized curriculum must place South Africa and Africa in the center of teaching, learning, and research and incorporate the epistemic perspectives, knowledge and thinking from the African continent and the global South and place them on an equal footing with the currently hegemonic Eurocentric canon. decolonizationknowledgeeducationtransformationcolonialismpedagogyAfricaSouth Africaapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5wr073ncarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt53r4304f2018-09-21T18:26:56Zqt53r4304fConversations from Jimma on the Geographies and Politics of KnowledgeMurrey, AmberTesfahun, Antenah2018-01-01Drawing from decolonizing scholarships that call for a reorientation of knowledge-making that is more inclusive and reflective of oral modes of communication, this article takes the form of a performance autoethnography between two friends. This approach allows a rich complexity of subjects to emerge—from “decolonizing” pedagogies and curricula to university administration and the geopolitics of knowledge globally—at the same time that we retain a specific attention to our university in Jimma, Ethiopia. Our intention is to challenge conventional academic modes of writing through a contextualization of the contemporary struggles that young professors face while teaching in semi-rural Ethiopian universities. Although our discussions reflect our personal struggles, they are reflective of larger general trends in Ethiopian higher education. Academics working on the African continent often confront intersecting material, ideological, linguistic, financial, and political factors that work to exclude African knowledges from global or transnational knowledge exchanges. Our conversation allows us to reflect on the broad tapestry of the current moment, including interactions with administrative staff, violent histories of knowledge colonization, racial and gendered politics, the potential for social science knowledges for social justice, and more. geopolitics of knowledgehigher educationEthiopiarace and the universityapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/53r4304farticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0zs8k5cw2018-09-21T18:26:55Zqt0zs8k5cwReviled Bodies of Knowledge in the South African UniversityCanham, Hugo2018-01-01In this paper, I argue that our conception of knowledge cannot be separated from the bodies that are involved in its creation. Resisting the decolonization of the curriculum and how we come to know goes cheek by jowl with which bodies are acceptable and which are unpalatable in higher education. It is not just particular knowledges that are therefore reviled but black bodies that signify those knowledges—that have to fight to belong or are ejected. The paper focuses on critical moments when high-profile black bodies have faced expulsion from the Universities of Cape Town, Witwatersrand, and North-West to illustrate the relationship between what I term “reviled bodies” and “knowledges” in higher education. It suggests that it is no coincidence that “recalcitrant” black bodies are expelled from those universities that assign no value to indigenous ways of knowing. Finally, the paper posits that geo- and body politics of scholarship should be advanced to ensure that Southern and black bodies are at the center of the academy. discordant bodiesIndigenous Knowledge Systemscolonial universitieshistoricizationepistemic disobedienceapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0zs8k5cwarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5sf3c6r32018-09-21T18:26:54Zqt5sf3c6r3Guest Editorial: What Activism Looks Like in Institutions of Higher LearningSeabe, Busisiwe2018-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5sf3c6r3articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt01h0568x2018-09-21T18:26:53Zqt01h0568xContributorsUfahamu, A Journal of African Studies2018-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/01h0568xarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt93v163s62018-09-21T18:26:52Zqt93v163s6Table of ContentsUfahamu, A Journal of African Studies2018-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/93v163s6articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1s18w6rn2018-09-21T18:26:51Zqt1s18w6rnFront MatterUfahamu, A Journal of African Studies2018-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1s18w6rnarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt28m609n62018-09-16T10:18:44Zqt28m609n6Rijk Van Dijk, Hansjörg Dilger, Marian Burchardt, and Thera Rasing, Religion and AIDS Treatment in Africa: Saving Souls, Prolonging Lives (Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2014). pp. 303 + xiii.Crofford, Brad2018-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/28m609n6articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt970356cq2018-09-16T10:18:43Zqt970356cqAntoinette Burton, Africa in the Indian Imagination: Race and the Politics of Postcolonial Citation (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2016). pp. 200.Nicholson, Timothy2018-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/970356cqarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9c81557f2018-09-16T10:18:41Zqt9c81557fGalawdewos, The Life and Struggles of Our Mother Walatta Petros: A Seventeenth Century African Biography of an Ethiopian Woman.

In doing so, reference is made to the concept of the ‘other’: being ethnically, culturally and religiously distinct from the major ethnic groups within the country. Some key implications of this trend in terms of fear and societal exclusion are explained. The discussion is situated within the broader context of community, ethnicity and insurgency within Nigeria. The following is not a discussion of insurgency; rather, it is an exploration of issues that galvanize some communities whilst provoking an attitude of suspicion toward others. It is argued that attempts to deconstruct diversity in favor of enforcing a singular cultural identity inherently links difference to fear and, by doing so, risks further polarizing communities within Nigeria.

Its most distinguishing symptom is the investment of African youths in a stigmatized variety to the exclusion of more prestigious languages. AUYLs have long stumped educators, policy makers and teachers of standard languages, spawning cursory descriptions, numerous complaints, and pleas for eradication. A case study of the symptoms associated with the stigmatized code Sheng (Nairobi, Kenya), reveals generalities for other AUYLs. Detractors worry that embracing the variety will damn the youth to failure in examinations, to denial of further educational attainment, to the loss of life-long goals, such as social mobility, and perhaps even to criminality. This article examines the concept of the culture-bound syndrome—a collection of social symptoms that reflect cultural fears—and the manner in which it may be applied to Sheng and other AUYLs. An interdisciplinary exploration of colonial history, language ecosystem, language ideology and conventional wisdom provide a rationale for a sociolinguistic defense. The data disclose that the symptoms reveal more about the plaintiff than the defendant. Overcoming what is but a standard language ideological bias requires Africanists in all academic disciplines to legitimize AUYLs through continued research. application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/71v64679articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9k8009512018-09-16T10:18:34Zqt9k800951The Oduche Complex and the Public Policy Environment in Africa: A Nigerian Case StudyOkeke, Remi2018-01-01The Oduche complex as an analytical construct depicts the contradictions that characterize the weltanschauung of the African postcolonial elite. It is attributable to Professor Damian Opata. But Opata also derived his germinal classification from “Arrow of God,” one of the influential works of Chinua Achebe, easily regarded as the father of African literature. I use the Oduche complex as an analytical template in this paper to study public policy articulation in Africa and the attendant public policy environment. I use Nigeria (the most populous country in the continent) as case study to interrogate the problem of impotence that characterizes public policy in Africa. The study is centrally, critically concerned with the issue of why public policies fail in Nigeria and Africa.

Its overarching conclusion is that the recent actions by extreme Muslims groups in Africa, in the name of so-called sharia, are far removed from the spirit of Islamic law.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8xh2g5wmarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2qg0p2xq2018-09-16T10:18:28Zqt2qg0p2xqOf Snipe Hunts and Errant Bats, or, Will an Anthropologist EVER Learn?Roberts, Allen F.2018-01-01In recent years, a number of humanities scholars have called for event-driven ethnographies of the particular as a tactic to mitigate the flattening of other people’s everyday lives, thoughts, and purposes, which has been so frequently represented in literature. What “messiness,” what oddities have been omitted from accounts that generalize about entire communities based upon a researcher’s few interactions with a few interlocutors? The following essay is an experimental attempt to tell a story from fieldnotes and recollections dating to the mid-1970s when I undertook 45 months of dissertation research among Tabwa people in what is now southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. At many steps along this quirky narrative path, contingent truths are at play based upon what I understand to have been my Tabwa interlocutors’ ways of understanding such experiences—with the past tense here suggesting that an “ethnographic present” must be dated, especially given the turbulence of Congolese histories these last decades. Endnotes provide glimpses of Tabwa thinking, again based upon my sameday written records and after-the-fact memories of what a few particular people told me. I offer these in quite deliberate defiance of the standard editorial caveat that notes are not meant to be a parallel text: in this case, they are! Furthermore, my essay has no firm conclusion, no wrap-up, no convenient understanding. Instead, readers are invited to consider circumstances that struck me as unusual as they occurred, and to draw their own conclusions about how to understand the events and persons so described, including the anthropologist. application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2qg0p2xqarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5tx2t8v32018-09-16T10:18:26Zqt5tx2t8v3“le caractère d’une traite d’esclaves déguisée (the nature of a disguised slave trade)”? Labor recruitment for La Réunion at Portuguese Mozambique, 1887-1889Alpers, Edward A.2018-01-01This paper examines the final moments of the French libres engagés system of labor recruitment from Mozambique to La Réunion in the late 1880s. Rather than simply regarding this system as a form of disguised slave trade, it seeks to understand how these workers were actually recruited and the conditions of their employment on the French colonial island. It draws upon both French and Portuguese archival sources to place this brief chapter in the longer context of post-abolition labor recruitment in the southwest Indian Ocean. application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5tx2t8v3articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 40, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7zk887492018-09-16T10:18:24Zqt7zk88749EditorialThiam, MadinaLevi, Janice2018-01-01For Profs.

In order to subdue the people, the British resorted to the use of military force that eventually culminated in the outbreak of Ekumeku War between the British and the people in Asaba hinterland from 1898 to 1911. Extant literature on the British colonial administration’s incursion on the Western lgbo area and the peoples’ display of patriotic bravery in confronting the superior weaponry of the British troops by prominent historians such as Ohadike and Igbafe overly concentrated on the British conquest and the peoples’ resistance movement as exemplified in the Ekumeku movement. These scholars had given marginal attention to the roles played by the indigenous people who were either coerced by the British officials or driven by mundane benefits, cooperated and collaborated with the British in crushing the Ekumeku forces, and assisted them in realizing their economic and political interests. It is against this background that this paper examines the nature of co-operation the British received from the “loyal” local people in the course of establishing their presence in that part of southern Nigeria. The paper further looks at the factors that made locals collaborate with the British by abandoning the popular struggle of their people. The paper assesses the consequences of action of the indigenous collaborators in terms of how they were perceived by their people throughout the period of British colonial control of the area. The paper concludes that the British colonial government’s conquest and subsequent colonization of Western lgboland and Nigeria as a whole should not be treated only as one of indigenous traditionalist resistance, but largely an era, when the co-operation and collaboration of the indigenous people were significant in the British imperial conquest and consolidation of colonialism in that part of southern Nigeria.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/65d6v69particleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1c84c7r32016-07-27T18:57:30Zqt1c84c7r3Historicizing Ethnicity and Slave-Trade Memories in Colonial Africa: The Cases for Rwanda and Northern CameroonOkech Oyugi, Willis2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1c84c7r3articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2jf5q6xm2016-07-27T18:57:19Zqt2jf5q6xmCosmopolitan Conversation and Challenge in Teju Cole’s Open CityOniwe, Bernard Ayo2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2jf5q6xmarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7t96h7hf2016-07-27T18:57:18Zqt7t96h7hfTerrorism and Racism, Twin Sisters?Osei-Opare, Nana2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7t96h7hfarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4kw927hj2016-07-27T18:57:16Zqt4kw927hjPower: The Curse Haunting Developing NationsCossa, Jose2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4kw927hjarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4cn384sm2016-07-27T18:57:15Zqt4cn384smStop Pretending the “Ferguson Effect” is RealSinyangwe, Samuel2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4cn384smarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt91q5z6bm2016-07-27T18:57:13Zqt91q5z6bmFate’s MockeryMalunga, Benedicto Wokomaatani2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/91q5z6bmarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7jw4f7zm2016-07-27T18:57:12Zqt7jw4f7zmReview of AUTO-GRAPHICS: Works by Victor Ekpuk and Ukara: Ritual Cloth of the Ekpe Secret Society, Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College, April 18-August 2, 2015Searcy, Elizabeth Holland2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7jw4f7zmarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8771q6qq2016-07-27T18:57:10Zqt8771q6qqEditorial: A Letter to Our ReadersOsei-Opare, NanaPeretz, Jeremy Jacob2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8771q6qqarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3tm1b2mg2016-07-27T18:57:08Zqt3tm1b2mgTable of Contents & Contributors PageA Journal of African Studies, Ufahamu:2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3tm1b2mgarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6cb7r4br2016-07-27T18:57:07Zqt6cb7r4brFront MatterA Journal of African Studies, Ufahamu:2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6cb7r4brarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0zd8h5dp2016-06-03T08:32:34Zqt0zd8h5dpJustin Chapman, Saturnalia: Traveling from Cape Town to Kampala in Search of an African Utopia (Los Angeles, CA: A Barnacle Book, Rare Bird Books, 2014). pp. 286.

By so-doing, certain variables external to the human elements but which act as boosters through which the personality elements influence foreign policy decision-making, are often ignored. Through a historical analysis of idiosyncratic effects on Nigerian leaders’ foreign policies, this article establishes that even though personality elements perform well as explanatory variables in foreign policy analysis, they do not solely explain the variance in decision outcomes. They require other factors to activate their expression as foreign policy determinants.Nigeriaforeign policydecision-makingpersonality traitsextraneous considerationskitchen cabinetapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4pt5j44warticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3284d08q2016-06-03T08:32:04Zqt3284d08q“The Black Man in the White Man’s Court”: Mandela at Wits University, South Africa, 1943-1949Ramoupi, Neo Lekgotla Laga2016-01-01Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was 24 years old when he enrolled for his Bachelor of Law (LLB) degree at the University of Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg, South Africa at the beginning of 1943. Mandela was the only African in the Law Faculty at Wits and suffered racism from both the white student body and faculty during the years he spent in pursuit of this degree. On July 20, 2015, Professor Bruce Murray of Wits presented a paper entitled “Nelson Mandela and Wits University”3 that the Sunday Times, South Africa printed with the title “No Easy Walk to LLB for Madiba,” that tersely suggested that it took Mandela 46 years to earn his LLB degree, instead of the normal stipulation of three or four years that is a requirement for a student to complete an LLB degree.4 After enjoying service at Hope Restoration Church, I read this newspaper article about the former President Mandela, who sacrificed so much for South Africa, feeling the injustice in the prejudicial manner in which both Murray’s Wits paper and the Sunday Times article were written. I thought of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. who said, respectively, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor,” and, “The hottest place in hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.”5 Immediately, I replied to the Sunday Times article with a two-page piece entitled, “Between Mandela and his LLB Degree was Racism and Apartheid at Wits University.” Sunday Times (August 2 2015) printed just five paragraphs of my article and titled it “Racism at Wits cost Madiba his LLB.”6 As I was writing this article for Ufahamu, The Thinker (a pan-African quarterly for thought leaders) published my two-page article with my own title, “Between Mandela and his LLB Degree was Racism and Apartheid,” that the Sunday Times had opted not to publish.7 The humiliations that Mandela suffered at Wits, rooted in racism, prejudice, and discrimination continue at South African universities today. This paper is an attempt to put in the public domain these humiliations that speak to the rationales why it would take, according to the Sunday Times article, Mandela 46 years to earn an LLB degree.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3284d08qarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1c5012xn2016-06-03T08:32:01Zqt1c5012xnBenin Video-film: A Case for the Documentary GenreOmoera, Osakue Stevenson2016-01-01Although Onions Edionwe’s films, such as Echoes of a Kingdom, Arousa N’ohuan-ren, and Aisiokuoba, are notable documentaries, they represent an “insignificant” component of the total number of movies that have been made in the Benin or Edo language film section of the Nigerian film culture (Nollywood). A critical review of the Benin video culture indicates that a majority of the Benin film content creators tend to ignore the documentary genre. This article explores the reasons Benin filmmakers do not produce documentaries. Perhaps, what evidences the tendency is the observable preference of Benin filmmakers to make historical, musical, comic, or social movies because they fear that the audience might find documentary films uninteresting and distasteful. This is an unpleasant trend in spite of documentary film’s potency as a narrative medium and its potentialities for developing the human-mind and society. It is against this background that I used a complementarity of the emic and etic approaches to canvass the need for Benin cineastes to increasingly turn their creative radars towards the documentary genre, which can be a powerful developer and re-enforcer of Benin socio-cultural practices in the age of globalisation. Towards this end, Benin filmmakers should be provided with requisite grants and/or production funds by relevant governmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and organised private groups from within and outside the Benin locality to make films in the documentary format.Benin language video-filmdocumentary genresociocultural practicesNollywoodproduction fundsapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1c5012xnarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9k5168qd2016-06-03T08:31:59Zqt9k5168qdSeeking Biomedical and Traditional Treatment is a Spiritual Lapse Among Zionists: A Case Study of the Zion Church in MalawiMunthali, Alister C.Mannan, HasheemMacLachlan, MalcolmSwartz, Leslie2016-01-01The Enabling Universal and Equitable Access to Healthcare for Vulnerable People in Resource Poor Settings in Africa (Equitable) Project was conducted in Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, and the Sudan between 2009 and 2012. It was aimed at determining the challenges which vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities, experience when accessing health care. It also aimed at identifying non-users of health services at the community level and reasons why they were not accessing these services. The study found that members of the Zion Church do not seek treatment from public or private health facilities, or from traditional healers. Not much has been written about how members of the Zion Church in Malawi seek health care. This paper explores how members of the Zion Church seek health care during illness episodes. The study was conducted in four districts in Malawi. A total of twenty-five members and non-members of this church were interviewed to determine how they sought health care. The study found that members of the Zion Church do not use Western medicine: the church does not allow them to seek treatment either from Western health facilities or traditional healers, otherwise they risk excommunication. Senior members of the church pray for the sick, and patients also seek treatment from the Zion Church clinic, where prayers, blessed water, and amulets are used in the treatment of diseases. Non-members who seek treatment from the Zion Church Clinic are advised to first seek treatment from traditional healers and health facilities. The Zion Church clinic should be the last resort for these non-member patients, most of whom have been sick for a long time. After being cured, some of the non-members have been converted and joined the church. Our conclusion is that while medical pluralism exists in Malawian communities, members of the Zion Church only access treatment from their church elders and church clinics.

A legacy of imposed invisibility, through illegality of Judaism and fear of expressing a Jewish faith identity, was a consequence of intolerance towards Jews. For their own safety, Jewish persons had to conceal their faith identity. In doing so, what appears to be a lack of Jewish presence may simply be a strategic concealment of one’s interior faith conviction. This paper explores how Western institutional oversight, by organizations and scholars, continually perpetuates the impression of Jewish absence from these spaces. Further, the paper seeks to challenge a visible lack of Jewish presence in West Africa by analyzing the complexity of conversion and investigating seemingly “invisible” identities. Lastly, the paper examines how the efforts of Jewish persons to become undetectable have contributed to the historical elisions of Jewish presence in West Africa.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7rc4d9p5articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9015b8mq2016-06-03T08:31:55Zqt9015b8mq(In)visible CitiesBucci, Gianpaolo2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9015b8mqarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt8cm0t4mb2016-06-03T08:31:53Zqt8cm0t4mbOde to the Slain Corps MembersAjidahun, Clement Olujide2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8cm0t4mbarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0kp2r9mq2016-06-03T08:31:51Zqt0kp2r9mqA Life Lived Between Autobiography, Fiction, and History: Maryse CondeMulira, Sanyu2016-01-01This article explores early criticism of Maryse Condé’s first novel, Heremakhonon (1976), which characterized the text as a veiled yet accurate depiction of the author’s time in West Africa. This paper makes the argument that the historical value of the text is lost when viewed as an autobiography. On the contrary, the power of Heremakhonon’s narrative is best understood when the differences between Maryse Condé’s life and the central character of Veronica are recognized. Only then can the reader glean historical value in Condé’s work of fiction inspired by her experiences in post-colonial West Africa.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0kp2r9mqarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt48z2717b2016-06-03T08:31:47Zqt48z2717bFootprints of Caliban: Appropriation of English in Selected African Fictional TextsChilala, Cheela Himutwe K.2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/48z2717barticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2m20r6302016-06-03T08:31:44Zqt2m20r630Ambivalent Relation with the Divine in Wole Soyinka's The RoadPouille, Adrien2016-01-01This essay proposes a long overdue reading of Wole Soyinka’s play, The Road. For his eccentric demeanor, Professor, the central figure of The Road, has greatly preoccupied scholars, but the attention accorded to the character has also subjected him to a significant amount of negative criticism. For scholars, Professor is an agile opportunist who manipulates the gods and his companions for self-aggrandizing objectives. In this paper, I nuance this reading and demonstrate that Professor is, in fact, not the only character in The Road who uses the divine for personal motives and that characters such as Samson and Say Tokyo also have an ambivalent relationship with the spirit world. Professor, one of the central characters of Soyinka’s The Road, has not only occupied a central place in scholastic discussions of the play but has also been the subject of many criticisms. The judgments that critics cast on the character usually start with a portrayal of the hero as a megalomaniac and abusive persona and end with a description of his spiritual quest as no more than a deceptive strategy of control conducted under the guise of religion. However, the main criticism usually is that Professor is a dishonest and demented figure whose personal concerns and goals involve a lifestyle that constantly aborts his discovery of—and perhaps “nirvanic” fusion with—the Word that he incessantly seeks. In this article, I put forth that Professor does not stand alone in his ambivalent relation with the divine. I argue that the elements behind Professor’s defective spirituality also affect the lives of other characters, precisely Samson and Say Tokyo. As a result, the sacrilegious manifests itself not only through the main protagonist, but also through Samson and Say Tokyo. The basis for this claim will become more pronounced as I successively engage with the criticisms held against Professor, his oddities, the characters’ acceptance of the divine, and the modern concepts leading them to continually fail the gods and goddesses.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2m20r630articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1h0172pg2016-06-03T08:31:40Zqt1h0172pgRe-Writing as Aesthetic Experiment: A Study of Achebe’s Early NovelsOgene, Timothy2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1h0172pgarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0285v3632016-06-03T08:31:38Zqt0285v363When Birds Come to RoostMalunga, Benedicto Wokomaatani2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0285v363articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1tf6v7bd2016-06-03T08:31:35Zqt1tf6v7bdEditorial: the 1960s and the GrooveThiam, Madina2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1tf6v7bdarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt58s529zn2016-06-03T08:31:33Zqt58s529znContributorsA Journal of African Studies, Ufahamu2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/58s529znarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1x00z0v22016-06-03T08:31:30Zqt1x00z0v2Table of ContentsA Journal of African Studies, Ufahamu2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1x00z0v2articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt52p839c92016-06-03T08:31:27Zqt52p839c9Front MatterA Journal of African Studies, Ufahamu2016-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/52p839c9articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 39, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3r93f7vd2015-06-23T03:24:17Zqt3r93f7vdWole Soyinka—An African Balzac?Ahmed, Ali Jimale2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3r93f7vdarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2qv2b2572015-06-23T03:24:16Zqt2qv2b257Character Names and Types in Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s Devil on the Cross and Wizard of the CrowNdĩgĩrĩgĩ, Gĩchingiri2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2qv2b257articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1k54r1j72015-06-23T03:24:14Zqt1k54r1j7African Renaissance and Globalization: A Conceptual Analysis and a Way ForwardCossa, José2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/1k54r1j7articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt94h9q4h32015-06-23T03:24:12Zqt94h9q4h3Walter Rodney and The Restatement of Pan Africanism In Theory and PracticeHill, Robert2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/94h9q4h3articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9925h5xj2015-06-23T03:24:10Zqt9925h5xjKilling the Black Body: Reflections on Robert Hill’s “Walter Rodney and the Restatement of Pan-Africanism”Tamboli, Vikram2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9925h5xjarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2qh3b0322015-06-23T03:24:08Zqt2qh3b032“Every Slight Movement of the People . . . is Everything”: Sondra Hale and Sudanese ArtSlyomovics, Susan2015-01-01This essay traces the intertwined topics of collaboration and multisited ethnography in the writings of anthropologist Sondra Hale on Sudanese artists and art.

Many academic programs focusing on African Studies emerged in the 1960s on the heels of the first wave of African independence movements. Over time, African Studies has expanded to include a wide range of approaches to various disciplines, including history, anthropology, political science, sociology, economics, linguistics, religion and law, among others. Much debate has surrounded the questions of whether African Studies is interdisciplinary in nature or whether it should be considered an academic field in itself, and whether to adopt a Pan-African approach to the discipline to include North Africa in addition to Sub-Saharan cases, as North Africa often is studied through the lens of Islam. This article examines the existing competing methods for teaching and researching Africa and the development and challenges facing African Studies today. This article analyzes the motivations and driving factors that have shaped the emergence of African Studies. What reasons are there for a shift from an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Africa? Has opposition to the creation of a regional academic field of study dealing with Africa indicated underlying racial and political tensions within academia? The term area studies, under which African Studies is often categorized, generally refers to the study of a particular group by an outside “other.” Does this imply a notion that the study of Africa by outside scholars is a form of cultural imperialism?application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2d62d2tparticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6zx2q6s52015-06-23T03:24:02Zqt6zx2q6s5“Set Alight to Her Husband’s House”: Teaching as Scholarship and Activism in the Gambian ArchivesFourshey, Catherine CymoneBelkot, Holly2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6zx2q6s5articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7jm1d11t2015-06-23T03:24:01Zqt7jm1d11tDecolonizing the United States: Lessons from AfricaMampilly, Zachariah2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7jm1d11tarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt3r43z78g2015-06-23T03:24:00Zqt3r43z78gBlack Students Speak Their Minds at UCT: Bantu Biko Alive in Their Frank-TalkRamoupi, Neo Lekgotla Laga2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3r43z78garticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt80t3w7vd2015-06-23T03:23:59Zqt80t3w7vdA Search for the Human in the Shadow of RhodesO'Connell, Siona2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/80t3w7vdarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt6hw9862v2015-06-23T03:23:58Zqt6hw9862vA Response to WITS & an Update on a Push for Change in Higher Academia in South AfricaWorger, William HRamoupi, Neo Lekgotla Laga2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/6hw9862varticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5z80p3q12015-06-23T03:23:57Zqt5z80p3q1Response to Ramoupi and Worger in Ufahamu 38:1Wits University, Department of History, History Department2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5z80p3q1articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7xs1b4ws2015-06-23T03:23:55Zqt7xs1b4wsEditorialOsei-Opare, NanaPeretz, Jeremy Jacob2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7xs1b4wsarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9v22v2mq2015-06-23T03:23:54Zqt9v22v2mqContributorsA Journal of African Studies, Ufahamu2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/9v22v2mqarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7zr7v4xh2015-06-23T03:23:53Zqt7zr7v4xhFront MatterA Journal of African Studies, Ufahamu2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7zr7v4xharticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt2b42s94c2015-06-23T03:23:53Zqt2b42s94cTable of ContentsA Journal of African Studies, Ufahamu2015-01-01application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/2b42s94carticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 30041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt69n421n32015-03-21T05:38:05Zqt69n421n3Review of Uche Okeke: Works on Paper, 1958-1993 Skoto Gallery (NYC) January 15–February 21, 2015Windmuller-Luna, Kristen D.2015-01-01[n/a]application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/69n421n3articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7w07369q2015-03-21T05:38:03Zqt7w07369qJemima Pierre.

This includes teaching his audience through his work, having qualified as the keeper of his society’s mores. Yet no critic has closely interrogated this stance and the constitution of the space of representation and teaching; what he really teaches; the shades of opinion that make him seem a recorder of his society’s mores; and other sundry lacunae. This article proceeds by problematising such terms as artist, society, mores and teaching, on one hand, and by invoking such theoretical concepts of literature enunciated by critics, from Aristotle to Akwanya, on the other, in order to dismantle the argument that the artist teaches. It also argues that the notion of function, either teaching or recording of mores, privileges unity of message. The sense of unity is later exploded via exploring the chaotic meaning in Nigerian literature from traditional to modern works. In addition, this work demonstrates that the artist is a victim of the fleeting space of in-betweenness in which his craft is formed and to which he owes allegiance. Rather than record the mores of a society, at most, society merely affords him a place through its language for the purpose of mediating ‘reality’ at a second remove. From the explorations of the above varied concerns, this work concludes that either the artist is a bad teacher, or is someone from whom the ability to teach or record his society’s mores breaks free.in-betweennessmoresNigerian literatureteachingthe African literary artistapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/8pk6p38zarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0830m6m82015-03-21T05:37:49Zqt0830m6m8Edouard Glissant and the African Roots of CreolizationMulira, Sanyu Ruth2015-01-01This paper examines Edouard Glissant’s Creolization theory as it pertains to the African roots of Antillean culture.

He calls this new corpus of African literature migritude. Migritude literature provides both a new and sophisticated way of understanding immigration in the era of global capitalism and a critical engagement with it; it lends new perspective to the study of African literature itself by bringing to the fore conditions of diaspora, movement, and migration. Further, these younger authors are often in conversation with earlier generations of the black radical tradition. Somali writer Nadifa Mohamed, for example, not only cites Claude McKay’s 1929 Banjo in her acknowledgements but strategically weaves the wandering Banjo and his black orchestra into her own twenty-first century migritude novel. In this article I analyze the relationship between McKay’s “story without a plot”1 as a (proto)migritude narrative embodying a pan-African politics of movement and Nadifa Mohamed’s 2010 novel Black Mamba Boy as a representative migritude narrative and critique.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0hw1z4xmarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7855m1sc2015-03-21T05:37:46Zqt7855m1scDemocratizing in Excess: A Marxist Interpretation of the Jasmine Revolutions in North AfricaAgbo, Joseph N.Chimakonam, Jonathan O.2015-01-01Whether the revolutions in North Africa are Marxist or democratic, they sure have Marxist touch in that they grew out of people’s frustration with unemployment, elitist corruption, high cost of food, human right abuses, lack of freedom of speech and general poor living conditions. Although they are inspired by democratic desires and supported by democratic influences, which are curiously excessive, they nonetheless exhibit elements of Marxism.

This being so, public opinion as a factor in the government decision-making process has become contemporaneous with democratic regimes such that there is a general notion that autocratic regimes act independent of popular opinion in foreign policy decision-making. Using public opinion as an expression of popular view, this article contradicts such notions by establishing that non-democratic (military) regimes could be malleable to public opinion in foreign policy decision-making. This it does in a content analysis of selected Nigerian newspapers, using the Babangida military regime’s decision on an IMF loan as a case study and submits that non-democratic regimes could lay claims to popular diplomacy. More so, because evidence in this study does not show that democratic regimes in Nigeria have necessarily increased the influence of public opinion on foreign policy decision-making, it submits that the manifest of democratic ethos such as popular diplomacy in governments’ foreign policy decision-making would not necessarily be a product regime-type.Public OpinionForeign PolicyDecision-MakingRegime-TypeMilitary Rule in Nigeriaapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/3r25x5b1articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 20041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt9v27b3152015-03-21T05:37:43Zqt9v27b315Public Funding of Political Parties in Ghana: an Outmoded Conception?Gyampo, Ransford Edward Van2015-01-01Political parties are the vehicles through which the ideals of multiparty democracy could be achieved in any fledgling democracy. But in Ghana, they are the most neglected of all the political institutions. Consequently they exist merely as “election machines” and become moribund during inter-election periods. The proposal for state funding of political parties was seen as a means of reinvigorating them to be able to function effectively and produce quality leaders capable of tackling the developmental challenges of the country. This paper therefore reviews the Draft Public Funding of Political Parties Bill, 2008. Through a survey of some 210 respondents and government officials, it argues that the quest for public funding of political parties was outmoded at conception because governments are not committed to the proposal, nor do Ghanaians seem to support it. The study concludes on the note that until politicians strive to reduce the perception of corruption against them and encourage their members to support them financially through the payment of monthly dues and special levies, political parties will continue to function as weak election machines in Ghana.Public FundingDraft BillPolitical PartiesElection MachinesMembership

Post-Apartheid South African CommunityTafira, Chimusoro Kenneth2014-01-01Love relationships between black South African women and immigrant men have not been given adequate attention by researchers of migration, refugee studies, and those concerned with anti-immigrant attitudes and violence. In this paper, based on ethnographicr esearch conducted in the Alexandra township of Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2009, I argue that cross-border love relationships provoke sexual and racial jealousies between the two sets of manhood: South African and black African immigrant. These are eventually expressed in anti-immigrant violence, such as the events that occurred in May 2008 mainly perpetrated by men, exhibit characteristics of masculinisation, racialisation and sexualisation. Intermittent poverty and unemployment also play a role in this drama. Incidents of hatred based on competition for women and resultant resentment by men who lose out deepen. I contend that in order to fully comprehend this kind of violence, one needs to understand the dynamics of love relationships between black South African women and black African immigrant men and pervasive myths like immigrants stealing jobs and taking women, that are common in the community.immigrantAlexandracross–bordermasculinizationsexualizationviolenceapplication/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/06k79136articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt69b448hb2014-12-15T20:19:56Zqt69b448hbHuman Rights & South African Constitutionalism: An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Debates over the past Twenty YearsKlaaren, Jonathan2014-01-01[no abstract]application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/69b448hbarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4n6485ww2014-12-15T20:19:49Zqt4n6485wwYouth: “Born Frees” and the Predicament of Being Young in Post-Apartheid South AfricaMokoena, Hlonipha A.2014-01-01If South Africa’s intellectual history is defined in generational terms then it is possible to speak of a “generation gap” in the history of political and social ideas. Whereas in the 1940s, the elitist and quiescent leadership of the African National Congress was jostled into action by the “Young Lions” of the Youth League; and whereas the literary opposition to apartheid was led from within the Afrikaner/Afrikaans community by the Sestigers—“the Generation of theSixties”—“youth” in South Africa today is not synonymous with political and philosophical innovation. This paper will explore the problems of “youthfulness” and “rejuvenation” in South African political thought by describing the ways in which the “Born Frees” could conceive an intellectual “manifesto,” as both an alternative to the post-apartheid “death of ideas” and as a revision of the historiography on “youth” that has been the foundation of narratives about the young since the 1976 Soweto uprising.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4n6485wwarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt7wb1g2wp2014-12-15T20:19:27Zqt7wb1g2wpStructured Inequality: Historical Realities of the Post-Apartheid EconomyClark, Nancy L.2014-01-01[no abstract]application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/7wb1g2wparticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt4tg1c8m52014-12-15T20:19:15Zqt4tg1c8m5Photographs: South Africa IDennison, Imani2014-01-01[no abstract]application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/4tg1c8m5articleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt43d050xv2014-12-15T20:19:04Zqt43d050xvCommunism and the Tutelage of African Agency: Revisiting Mandela’s Communist TiesOsei-Opare, Nana2014-01-01African liberation movements and Communist parties often collaborated in their efforts to remove the yoke of colonialism and imperialism from the African continent. This cooperation is not evidence of Communist parties dictating the affairs and decisions of these liberation movements. This inference may be applied to the African National Congress (ANC), Nelson Mandela, and the South African Communist Party (SACP). While the ANC and Mandela worked with Communists and the SACP, Mandela himself was not a Communist, nor did the SACP manipulate or dictate his actions. Mandela worked with Communists, and Communists joined the ANC, where they assumed high positions within that party. Both the ANC and SACP came to realize that their goals of removing colonialism and imperialism were identical and that they thus needed to work together. This essay looks at the relationship and symbioses between Mandela and the SACP, as well as popular media’s perceptions of this relationship.application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/43d050xvarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt0fw830ps2014-12-15T20:18:59Zqt0fw830psLitvaks in South Africa: How to Photograph Nelson Mandela?Simonson, Karina2014-01-01[no abstract]application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/0fw830psarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt5r64v5qg2014-12-15T20:18:45Zqt5r64v5qgMandela, Luthuli, and Nonviolence in the South African Freedom StruggleLal, Vinay2014-01-01[no abstract]application/pdfpubliceScholarship, University of Californiahttps://escholarship.org/uc/item/5r64v5qgarticleUfahamu: A Journal of African Studiesvol 38, iss 10041-5715oai:escholarship.org:ark:/13030/qt1854j3hz2014-12-15T20:18:41Zqt1854j3hzStephen Biko and the Torture AestheticEide, Marian2014-01-01Stephen Biko’s death in South Africa in 1977 under the apartheidregime has become an iconic event for the global human-rightscommunity for whom he is an international symbol. In the aestheticrealm—in works of art in a wide variety of forms including poetry,drama, popular song, film, and visual arts—his memory has beenkept alive for over three decades. This essay focuses on three popular,transnational works of art that lay claim on global audiencesto participate in an idealized universal citizenship founded on anobjection to torture that is both the assumption and motivation fortheir art. Peter Gabriel’s 1980 song “Biko,” Richard Attenborough’s1987 film “Cry Freedom,” and Saira Essa and Charles Pillai’s 1985documentary play Steve Biko: The Inquest each in its own formalregister (song, film, play), memorializes torture to produce an iconographyof political martyrdom that I will call the torture aesthetic.Biko iconography stands here as a particularly potent example of alarger trend within aesthetic practices in which a historical exampleof brutality is invoked to activate audiences and to raise concernswithin human rights discourse itself.application/pdfpubliceScholarship,
