Nelson, Chair This dissertation examines the displays of the visual arts that appeared in the 1966 Premier Festival Mondial des Arts Nègres (First World Festival of Negro Arts) with respect to mid-century international politics. In addition to performances of dance and music, film screenings, poetry readings, and a scholarly colloquium, the state-sponsored Festival, held in Dakar, Senegal, included two major art exhibitions. The first, titled l’Art Nègre: Sources, Évolution, Expansion (Negro Art: Sources, Evolution, Expansion), brought together more than 500 works of African art loaned from collections in nineteen countries. The other, called ii Tendances et Confrontations (Tendencies and Confrontations), was composed of contemporary art by African and African-descended artists working on the continent and throughout the diaspora. Drawing upon archival documents and photography from collections in Senegal, France, Switzerland, and the United States, my project examines the various diplomatic roles played by the visual arts at the event. On one hand, the arts reinforced symbolic or spiritual ties posited to be shared by all humankind. For example, both Senegalese President Léopold Sédar Senghor and UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization), a major financial and intellectual contributor to the Festival, considered intercultural exchange to be essential to achieving peace after the Second World War and decolonization. On the other hand, the arts acted as useful bartering chips; they were offered, withheld, rejected or praised in efforts to manipulate international politics amid the Cold War and alongside burgeoning nationalist movements accompanying African independence. By considering the relationship of the arts to international conceptualizations of black identity, continental African diplomacy, post-colonial Senegalese relations with France, and Cold War rivalries, my project unsettles an art-historical tendency to portray the artistic programming accompanying African independence as only reflective of nationalist, domestic politics. iii The dissertation of Lauren Elizabeth Taylor is approved. Andrew Apter George Thomas Baker Saloni Mathur Steven D. Nelson, Committee Chair University of California, Los Angeles 2019 iv This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of two remarkable women. Mary Nooter Roberts, a model of how, as a scholar and as a teacher, to lead with love, and Laura Marjorie Taylor, to whom I owe my name, my love for the arts, and my eternal gratitude. v Table of Contents Introduction 1 The Origins of the Event 3 Negritude, Universal Humanism, and African Socialism 6 The Coinciding Unrest 13 My Intervention 17 Structure of the Dissertation 23 Chapter One Roots and Routes: The Construction of the Musée Dynamique 27 An Appeal to UNESCO and the Decision to Build 30 The Dialogue of Universalism and Nationalism 40 Ancient Greece and Negritude 47 Dialogue and Dynamism 57 Chapter Two The Matter of Families: The Multiple Affiliations of l’Art Nègre: Sources, Évolution, Expansion 61 Enacting Partnership 67 Art and Peace 75 Literal and Symbolic Returns 83 A Demoiselle in Dakar 92 The Exhibition as Rendez-Vous 99 vi Chapter Three Exhibition as Mediator: On Nation and Rivalry in Tendances et Confrontations 101 Nationhood as Criteria 116 The Festival and the U.S.S.R. 122 The Participation of the United States 129 Conclusion 138 Conclusion 140 Figures 148 Works Cited 203 vii List of Figures Figure 1.1.

    Religion, Politics, and the Islamic Response: A Comparative Intellectual Critique, with Special Reference to Nigeria1 ®Lamin Sanneh Yale University Divinity School New Haven, Connecticut, USA Restricted Circulation: Working Draft Only Religion, Politics, and the Islamic Response The relationship between religion and politics, between church and state, has been a well rehearsed issue in Muslim thought and practice, because Islam emerged fully into history as a dual tradition of church and state, and because as such Muslims have been less sanguine than Europeans about making a rigid sepa- ration between the secular and the sacred, or between public ethics and private morality. By virtue of such history and by rea- son of the subsequent Western secular expansion in the Muslim world, there is continuing reaction among contemporary Muslims to the normative messianic claims of national secular govern- ments. Some of that reaction has roots that long pre-date colo- nial rule and colonialism’s contemporary effects on Islamist movements. MUSLIM AFRICA: RELIGION AND THE LIMITS OF STATE POWER Our understanding of church-state issues, already deeply formed from what we know of the Western experience, will nevertheless benefit with a further look at what transpired in the contrasting Muslim situation. It is important for more than reasons of history to recognize that even before the rise of the modern national sec- ular state in the West there was debate in other parts of the world about how religious masters and political leaders regarded each other’s sphere of authority and what the implications might be of practice in one sphere for practice in the other sphere.

  • Africa Digests the West: a Review of Modernism and the Influence of Patrons-Cum Brokers on the Style and Form of Southern Eastern and Central African Art
    ISSN-L: 2223-9553, ISSN: 2223-9944 Part-I: Social Sciences and Humanities Vol. 4 No. 1 January 2013 AFRICA DIGESTS THE WEST: A REVIEW OF MODERNISM AND THE INFLUENCE OF PATRONS-CUM BROKERS ON THE STYLE AND FORM OF SOUTHERN EASTERN AND CENTRAL AFRICAN ART Phibion Kangai 1, Joseph George Mupondi 2 1Department of Teacher Education, University of Zimbabwe, 2Curriculum Studies Department, Great Zimbabwe University, ZIMBABWE. 1 [email protected] , 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Modern Africa Art did not appear from nowhere towards the end of the colonial era. It was a response to bombardment by foreign cultural forms. African art built itself through “bricolage” Modernism was designed to justify colonialism through the idea of progress, forcing the colonized to reject their past way of life. Vogel (1994) argues that because of Darwin’s theory of evolution and avant-garde ideology which rejected academic formulas of representation, colonialists forced restructuring of existing artistic practice in Africa. They introduced informal trainings and workshops. The workshop patrons-cum brokers did not teach the conventions of art. Philosophically the workshops’ purpose was to release the creative energies within Africans. This assumption was based on the Roseauian ideas integrated culture which is destroyed by the civilization process. Some workshop proponents discussed are Roman Desfosses, of colonial Belgian Congo, Skotness of Polly Street Johannesburg, McEwen National Art Gallery Salisbury and Bloemfield of Tengenenge. The entire workshop contributed to development of black art and the birth of genres like Township art, Zimbabwe stone sculpture and urban art etc. African art has the willingness to adopt new ideas and form; it has also long appreciation of innovation.

  • A Case Comparison of Ghana, Kenya, and Senegal
    1 Democratization and Universal Health Coverage: A Case Comparison of Ghana, Kenya, and Senegal Karen A. Grépin and Kim Yi Dionne This article identifies conditions under which newly established democracies adopt Universal Health Coverage. Drawing on the literature examining democracy and health, we argue that more democratic regimes – where citizens have positive opinions on democracy and where competitive, free and fair elections put pressure on incumbents – will choose health policies targeting a broader proportion of the population. We compare Ghana to Kenya and Senegal, two other countries which have also undergone democratization, but where there have been important differences in the extent to which these democratic changes have been perceived by regular citizens and have translated into electoral competition. We find that Ghana has adopted the most ambitious health reform strategy by designing and implementing the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). We also find that Ghana experienced greater improvements in skilled attendance at birth, childhood immunizations, and improvements in the proportion of children with diarrhea treated by oral rehydration therapy than the other countries since this policy was adopted. These changes also appear to be associated with important changes in health outcomes: both infant and under-five mortality rates declined rapidly since the introduction of the NHIS in Ghana. These improvements in health and health service delivery have also been observed by citizens with a greater proportion of Ghanaians reporting satisfaction with government handling of health service delivery relative to either Kenya or Senegal. We argue that the democratization process can promote the adoption of particular health policies and that this is an important mechanism through which democracy can improve health.
