Particular nation-states and international spaces (UN, ICC, WTO, etc.) are ill-equipped to remedy these issues. Consequently, in recent years global social justice movements have emerged to address these challenges. xii Social movement scholars have long held that collective identities are crucial to recruiting adherents, sustaining solidarity and social movement cohesion. Therefore, the study of the formation of transnational activist (TNA) collective identities is of enormous importance to understanding the dynamics of emerging global social justice movements. Nonetheless, social movement scholars have generally ignored the specific

    chapter 2 Group Identifications: African and Global Categories Defining African Ethnicities against a Global Background Discussions about group identifications in sub-Saharan Africa, and elsewhere in the world, are today dominated by a somewhat odd parallelism between different concepts, which are rarely understood as alternatives. This relates to the factors of ethnicity, religion, and the post-colonial nation-building proj- ects: in the case of West Africa, for some regions, like Nigeria, the debate now favours religion almost exclusively as a divisive problem; in Ghana and Sierra Leone, regional and ethnic factors are broadly discussed; for Côte d’Ivoire, scholars seek explanations for what they regard as the failure of nation- building. The different factors, to which we can add family, kinship, and mod- els of political organisation, are rarely brought into a larger panorama. Moreover, they are not really seen as different options for identification for an individual or for a group.1 The current chapter endeavours to give the reader a solid general idea about ethnic sentiment as a conceptual factor in sub-Saharan Africa and in its global dimensions. It addresses key problems in this context: the debate about the nature of ethnicity, with its slowly changing arguments over the last five decades; and the quest for a working definition of ethnic groups. Concerning the former, it is necessary to engage with a basic discussion of whether ethnic identification is a long-lasting ‘traditional’ fact or a construction under condi- tions of colonial rule: that is, would a member of a certain community have automatically been inclined to identify herself or himself as belonging to her or his ethnic group, or was she or he usually led or even manipulated to do so? The second problem is also quite intriguing.

The study also provides a wider contextual framework to several more detailed studies of the ecological, economic and social components of land use, agriculture, and natural resource use and management being undertaken by CASS and WWF. Much of this work is in support of Zimbabwe's Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources - CAMPFIRE, but has wider implications for the development of sustainable land use practices and resource management regimes in the region.

  • Ivory and Slaves in East and Central Africa (C
    Ivory and slaves in East and Central Africa (c. 1800- 1880) Com- Under Central and East Africa we include most of the land north of the Limpopo and Pari' south of the Equator. The coast of what is often called West Central Africa featured in the chapters on the Atlantic slave trade and West Africa, but the peoples and routes that other supplied the slaves for the coast will be discussed here. There are some similarities ports of between the situation in North and West Africa and that existing in East and Central Africa Africa. In Northeast Africa and in the central Sudan of West Africa we come across warlords such as Zubayr and Rabih. In Central and East Africa we meet up with leaders such as Msiri, Mirambo, Tippu Tip and Mlozi who also built up secondary trading and conquest states that dealt in slaves and ivory. In these other regions we witness some empire building during the period of the jihads by people such as al-Hajj Umar and Samory Toure, by Mohammad Ali in Egypt and Menelik in Ethiopia. In this region too, we have some empire building and state expansion, for example on the island of Madagascar by the Merina, in the area of the Great Lakes by Buganda, and also the growth of the trading empire of the Omani Arabs in East Africa. But large empires were scarce because the geography did not encourage the growth of big polities. It was mainly in the Great Lakes region that we find sizeable states such as Buganda.

  • Beyond Resettlement As Refuge: Enduring and Emerging Dimensions of 'Displacement' As Cosmological Rupture for Central Africa
    Beyond Resettlement as Refuge: Enduring and Emerging Dimensions of ‘Displacement’ as Cosmological Rupture for Central African Refugee Women GEORGINA KATHLEEN RAMSAY B.SocSci (Hons) Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD (Sociology and Anthropology) September 2015 School of Humanities and Social Science The University of Newcastle, Australia i i STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to this copy of my thesis, when deposited in the University Library, being made available for loan and photocopying subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Signed:.................................................................................................................................... Date:....................................................................................................................................... ii ABSTRACT The resettlement of refugees to a third country is characterised in dominant humanitarian and political discourses as a durable solution to ‘displacement.’ This thesis challenges that presumption through an ethnographic exploration of how ‘displacement’ is experienced by Central African women living in different contexts of refugee settlement in Australia and Uganda. It illustrates how, for the small number of refugees who are offered resettlement to a third country, a sense of ‘displacement’ can both endure and emerge within such settings. ‘Displacement’ is critically explored here as an embodied experience that is oriented through the subjectivities of Central African women across settings of refugee settlement in both Australian and Uganda. Through a comparative, in-depth analysis of ‘displacement’ in both contexts, the assumption that resettlement offers a durable solution of ‘refuge’ is critically unsettled.
