Van Doorn i ii EDITORIAL POLICY EDITORIAL POLICY African Studies Abstracts Online provides an overview of articles from periodicals and edited works on sub-Saharan Africa in the field of the social sciences and the humanities available in the library of the African Studies Centre in Leiden, The Netherlands. New features Following recommendations from a survey among subscribers to the ASA Online mailing list in 2008/09, various improvements have been made to ASA Online. The navigation and search facilities have been enhanced and a link to full text has been included when available. It is now possible to navigate within ASA Online directly - from the table of contents to the corresponding page - from an entry number in the subject and author indexes to the page where the bibliographic description and abstract can be found - from the country name in the geographical index to the corresponding section of the abstracts and from the entry number to the page containing the bibliographic description and abstract - from the bibliographic description via the ASCLink to the full text of an article or publication if available (subject to access restrictions) Another new feature is the inclusion of descriptors from the ASC African Studies Thesaurus for each entry. Each descriptor is linked to a search query in the online catalogue of the ASC library. Coverage ASA Online covers edited works (up to 60 in each issue) and journals in the field of African studies. Some 240 journals are systematically scanned. Just over half are English-language journals, just under a quarter are French, and the rest are German, Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese. Some 40 percent of the journals are published in Africa. Newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines, current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters are not scanned. Articles from journals published in Africa and from leading Africanist journals published outside the continent are provided with abstracts. Articles from other journals, including journals on North Africa, are catalogued and indexed without abstracts. All articles are included in the online catalogue of the ASC Library at http://opc4-ascl.pica.nl/DB=3/LNG=EN/ To be selected for abstracting/indexing an article must be at least three to four pages long and have been published in the past two years. In a few cases, an article may be excluded on the grounds of subject if this is marginal to the ASC library's collection profile. Articles in the field of literature dealing with only one work are normally not selected. This also applies to purely descriptive articles iii EDITORIAL POLICY covering current political/economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated. Review articles and book reviews are not covered. Contents and arrangement ASA Online is published four times a year. Each issue contains up to 400 entries, numbered sequentially and arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa: Northeast, West, West Central, East, Southeast Central and Southern Africa, and the Indian Ocean islands. There is also a general section for entries whose scope extends beyond Africa, as well as sections dealing with Africa and with sub-Saharan Africa as a whole. Within the regional sections, entries are arranged by country, and within each country, alphabetically according to author. Entries covering two countries appear twice, once under each country heading. Entries covering three or more countries are generally classified under the relevant regional heading. Each entry provides a bibliographic description together with English-language descriptors from the ASC African Studies Thesaurus and an abstract in the language of the original document. The abstract covers the essentials of the publication, generally including a description of subject and purpose, disciplinary approach, nature of the research and source materials. Where applicable an indication of the time period, specific geographical information, as well as the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups, are included. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of ASA Online contains a geographical index, a subject index, and an author index, all referring to entry number. The subject index is self-devised and is intended as a first and global indication of subjects with categories for general, religion and philosophy, culture and society, politics, economics, law, education, anthropology, medical care and health services, rural and urban planning and geography, language and literature, and history and biography. Entries included under more than one country heading are listed in the geographical index under each country. The subject and author indexes list the entry only once, the first time it appears. In addition, each issue of ASA Online contains a list of periodicals abstracted, indicating the issues which have been covered. A list of all periodicals regularly scanned for abstracting or indexing is available on the ASC website at: http://www.ascleiden.nl/Library/Abstracts/ Comments or suggestions can be sent to the editors at [email protected] iv GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number INTERNATIONAL General 1-6 AFRICA General 7-67 NORTHEAST AFRICA General 68-69 Djibouti 70 Eritrea 71-74 Ethiopia 75-87 Somalia 88 Sudan 89-91 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 92-103 WEST AFRICA General 104-112 Benin 113-116 Burkina Faso 117-118 Cape Verde 119-120 Ghana 121-130 Guinea 131-133 Ivory Coast 134-135 Liberia 136-140 Mali 141-143 Niger 144-147 Nigeria 148-185 Senegal 186-189 Sierra Leone 190-192 Togo 193-194 WEST CENTRAL AFRICA General 195 Angola 196-197 Cameroon 198-212 Chad 213-214 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX Congo (Brazzaville) 215-217 Congo (Kinshasa) 218-231 Sao Tomé E Principe 232 EAST AFRICA General 233-239 Burundi 240 Kenya 241-253 Rwanda 254 Tanzania 255-261 Uganda 262-275 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 276-280 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 281-287 Zambia 288-289 Zimbabwe 290-302 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 303-306 Botswana 307-320 Lesotho 321-324 Namibia 325-327 South Africa 328-413 Swaziland 414 ISLANDS General 415-416 Comoros 417-418 Madagascar 419-422 Mauritius 423-425 Réunion 426-431 2 SUBJECT INDEX A.

  • Transformation and Resilience Within China's African Diaspora
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 17, Issue 4|February 2018 The Bridge is not Burning Down: Transformation and Resilience within China’s African Diaspora Communities ADAMS BODOMO Abstract: Guangzhou, along with many other Chinese cities like Hong Kong and Yiwu where Africans visit, live, and engage in trading activities, is known for its ubiquitous pedestrian bridges. It is not uncommon to see many hawkers illegally displaying temporary stalls on these pedestrian bridges where they sell goods to mainly Africans and other foreign traders. From around 2012, the city security personnel, which has previously mostly turned a blind eye to these structures and activities, suddenly started clamping down on Africans on a regular basis as they became a prominent group of customers on these bridges in downtown Guangzhou—resulting in the sudden disappearance of Africans on these city center bridges and other prominent open door markets. This has led to some journalistic reports claiming that Africans were leaving China in large numbers. But if these Africans have all but disappeared from the pedestrian footbridges where are they now? Are they leaving China "in droves" or are they regrouping elsewhere in Guangzhou and other parts of China? How many Africans are in China and from which African countries do they come? What do they do in China? How are Africans responding to this and other unfavorable policy transformations such as an increasingly heavy-handed clamp down on illegal immigration? How resilient are African communities in China? This paper is built around, first, addressing these and other empirical questions towards an understanding of various categories of actors within China’s African diaspora communities before turning to examine the theoretical implications of seeing these African diaspora communities as bridge communities for strengthening Africa-China linguistic, cultural, and trade relations.

Non lo sapremo mai perché nella sesta edizione del talent show X Factor, l'allora giudice Arisa aveva intuito che le giovanissime sorelle gemelle Giulia e Silvia Provvedi avevano non solo un innato talento per il mondo dello spettacolo, ma anche un punto di riferimento nel firmamento musicale italiano: Donatella Rettore. Da quel momento le allora 18enni modenesi divennero le Donatella. Vincitrici dell'ultima trionfale edizione de L'Isola dei Famosi, le Donatella si lanciano con il loro incontenibile entusiasmo in questo nuovo progetto, il brano Donatella: "Non lo vediamo come un singolo vero e proprio ma come un divertimento in musica, un regalo a tutti i nostri fan in perfetto stile Donatella: energico, pieno di vita e travolgente!" Con questa scelta vogliono naturalmente rendere omaggio alla regina del synth pop anni '80 che ha ispirato il loro nome d'arte: Donatella Rettore. "Per noi si realizza un sogno -? dichiarano: abbiamo sempre desiderato conoscere Donatella Rettore e finalmente ce l'abbiamo fatta! Questo progetto ci riempie di orgoglio: una rivisitazione moderna in chiave dance del famoso brano del 1981, che abbiamo sempre amato moltissimo per la sua ironia e sregolatezza.

Ojukwu’s government looked certain to topple at the beginning of the summer of 1968, yet Biafra held on and did not capitulate until nearly two years later, on 15 January 1970. The Ojukwu regime found itself in a serious predicament; how to maintain support for a war that was increasingly costly to the Igbo people, both in military terms and in the menacing face of the starvation of the civilian population. Further, the Biafran government had to not only mobilize a global public opinion campaign against the “genocidal” campaign waged against them, but also convince the world that the only option for Igbo survival was an independent Biafra.

Ad affiancare Amadeus sul palco dell’Ariston, ci saranno Fiorello, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Achille Lauro, Matilda De An- gelis, Elodie, Vittoria Ceretti, Barbara Palombelli e altri grandi ospiti dal mondo della musica e non solo.

Il Festival di Sanremo ci appartiene, appartiene al costume e alla musica di questo Paese. Anche tra mille difficoltà: ‘La musica non si ferma mai‘. Lo spettacolo sta per iniziare!”. I 26 Campioni parteciperanno ciascuno con una canzone inedita e si esibiranno a gruppi di 13 nella prima e nella seconda serata del Festival.

  • Northwestern University “Mise En Vie” and Intra-Culturalism: Performing
    Northwestern University “Mise en vie ” and Intra-culturalism: Performing the Life of Black Migrants to Italy A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN THE PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS For the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Performance Studies By Raffaele Furno Evanston, Illinois December 2008 2 ABSTRACT “Mise en vie ” and Intra-culturalism: Performing the Life of Black Migrants to Italy Raffaele Furno The dissertation aims to explore the intersection between the artistic performance of blackness in contemporary Italian theater and the country’s social stigmatization of black immigrants as a problem or national emergency. I argue that Italians live in a state of “historic forgetfulness” since they have not been able to absorb the racist discourse strongly implemented during the fascist regime. Tracing “historic forgetfulness” as an implicit ideology within contemporary restrictive immigration laws, and in the mass media focus on the illegal aspects of the migratory phenomenon, I use performance as a methodology and category to analyze the world and individuate viable alternatives to Italy’s (un)welcoming reaction to African immigrants. Through archival research, interviews and participant observation, I follow the work of the Afro-Romagnole ensemble Teatro delle Albe. The Albe perceives theater as a tool to show the richness and endless possibilities contained in religious, linguistic, and cultural differences. The group’s productions raise doubts on any dichotomous separation between right and wrong, legal and illegal, white and black. Working on the specificity of each individual, the Albe brings ethnic background to what it should be: one element of the far more complicated personal identity that encompass gender, sexuality, education, personal experiences, emotions, aspirations, and more.

Like other Africans, Nigerian migrants live in countless locations around the world and are connected to their homeland through contingent transnational networks. This thesis explores the onward migration of Nigerian migrants towards, within and beyond Europe and analyses the motivations, patterns and outcomes of their multiple movements. Six cities in Germany, the UK and Spain are the main research locations for the fieldwork that took place over 17 months. The three countries are important destinations for Nigerian migrants in Europe and also the principal destinations of intra-European onward migrants. The cities included in this study are the capital cities Berlin, London and Madrid, as well as Cologne, Manchester and Málaga.

My name is Allison Brown and I will be your Crisis Director for this committee. I am a sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a focus in Biochemicals. This is my second time being a Crisis Director, and my fourth time staffing a conference. I have been participating in Model United Nations conferences since high school and have continued doing so ever since I arrived at Penn State. Participating in the Penn State International Affairs and Debate Association has helped to shape my college experience. Even though I am an engineering major, I am passionate about current events, politics, and international relations. This club has allowed me to keep up with my passion, while also keeping with my other passion; biology. I really enjoy being a Crisis Director and I am so excited to do it again! This committee is going to focus on a very serious topic from our world’s past; Apartheid. The members of the Presidents Council during this time were quite the collection of people. It is important during the course of this conference that you remember to be respectful to other delegates (both in and out of character) and to be thoughtful before making decisions or speeches. If you ever feel uncomfortable, please inform myself or the chair, Sneha, and we will address the issue.
