Van Doorn ii 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 African Studies Centre library. Coverage African Studies Abstracts Online covers edited works (up to 50 in each issue) and a wide range of journals in the field of African studies. Some 240 journals are systematically scanned. Just over half of these are English-language journals, just under a quarter are French, and most of the rest are German. A few Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese-language journals are also covered. Some 40 percent of all the journals are published in Africa. Newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines and current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters are, with rare exceptions, 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 African Studies Centre Library OPAC at http://opc4-ascl.pica.nl/DB=3/LNG=EN/ To be selected for abstracting/indexing an article must be at least two to three pages long, and have been published within the past two years (though some allowance is made for journals which have fallen behind on publication schedules or which, for whatever reason, have taken a long time to arrive). In a few specific cases, an article may be excluded on the grounds of subject. In particular, articles in the field of linguistics and those in the field of literature dealing with only one work are normally not selected. This also applies to purely descriptive articles covering current political events or economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated, though this rule is applied less rigorously in the case of a country about which very little is otherwise published. Review articles and book reviews are not covered. Contents and arrangement In principle African Studies Abstracts Online is published four times a year. Each issue contains up to 450 titles with abstracts of collective volumes and journal articles. Items are numbered sequentially and arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa. There is a preliminary general section for entries whose scope extends beyond iii Africa, followed by a separate section for entries dealing with the continent as a whole. There is also a section for entries dealing with sub-Saharan Africa. Within the broad geographical regions of Northeast, West, West Central, East, Southeast Central and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands, 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 the conventional bibliographical information together with an abstract in the language of the original document. The abstract covers the essentials of the publication in 10-20 lines. It includes a description of subject and purpose, disciplinary approach, nature of the research and source materials (fieldwork, archives, oral traditions, etc.). Where applicable an indication of the time period, specific geographical information (such as names of towns, villages or districts), as well as the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups, are also included. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a geographical index, a subject index, and an author index, all referring to abstract number. The geographical index is at a region and country level. It refers to both abstract and page number, and for some may serve as a surrogate table of contents. The subject index is self-devised and is intended as a first and global indication of subjects. It follows roughly the main classes of the UDC, 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. Each category is further subdivided into a number of subcategories. Abstracts of items included under more than one country heading are indexed in the geographical index under each country. In the subject and author indexes they are indexed only once; the reference is always to the first time an entry appears. In addition, each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a list of periodicals abstracted which provides information on title, current place of publication and ISSN of all periodicals from which articles have been selected, as well as indicating which issues of the periodical in question have been covered. A complete list of all periodicals regularly scanned for abstracting or indexing is available on the African Studies Centre website at: http://www.ascleiden.nl/Library/Abstracts/ As always, comments or suggestions are very welcome. iv GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page INTERNATIONAL General 1 18 AFRICA General 2-58 18 NORTH AFRICA Tunisia 59 54 NORTHEAST AFRICA General 60 55 Egypt 61 55 Eritrea 62-65 56 Ethiopia 66-74 58 Somalia 75-79 63 Sudan 80-84 66 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 85-106 69 WEST AFRICA General 107-119 81 Cape Verde 120-121 89 The Gambia 122-125 90 Ghana 126-146 93 Ivory Coast 147-154 103 Liberia 155 108 Mali 156-161 108 Niger 162-163 112 Nigeria 164-196 113 Senegal 197-201 129 Sierra Leone 202-206 132 WEST CENTRAL AFRICA 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page General 207-209 135 Angola 210-212 137 Cameroon 213-220 139 Congo (Brazzaville) 221 143 Congo (Kinshasa) 222-239 143 Equatorial Guinea 240 154 Gabon 241-242 154 EAST AFRICA General 243-245 156 Burundi 246-251 157 Kenya 252-267 160 Rwanda 268-271 169 Tanzania 272-284 171 Uganda 285-296 178 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 297-300 184 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 301-307 187 Mozambique 308-316 191 Zambia 317-321 196 Zimbabwe 322-340 199 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 341-344 208 Botswana 345-353 211 Lesotho 354 215 Namibia 355-358 216 South Africa 359-409 218 Swaziland 410 243 ISLANDS General 411-412 244 2 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page Chagos Archipelago 413 245 Madagascar 414-416 245 Mauritius 417-418 247 Réunion 419 248 3 SUBJECT INDEX A.

    Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 Eileen Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Eileen Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 By Eileen Ryan In the first decade of their occupation of the former Ottoman territories of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in current-day Libya, the Italian colonial administration established a system of indirect rule in the Cyrenaican town of Ajedabiya under the leadership of Idris al-Sanusi, a leading member of the Sufi order of the Sanusiyya and later the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Libya after the Second World War. Post-colonial historiography of modern Libya depicted the Sanusiyya as nationalist leaders of an anti-colonial rebellion as a source of legitimacy for the Sanusi monarchy. Since Qaddafi’s revolutionary coup in 1969, the Sanusiyya all but disappeared from Libyan historiography as a generation of scholars, eager to fill in the gaps left by the previous myopic focus on Sanusi elites, looked for alternative narratives of resistance to the Italian occupation and alternative origins for the Libyan nation in its colonial and pre-colonial past. Their work contributed to a wider variety of perspectives in our understanding of Libya’s modern history, but the persistent focus on histories of resistance to the Italian occupation has missed an opportunity to explore the ways in which the Italian colonial framework shaped the development of a religious and political authority in Cyrenaica with lasting implications for the Libyan nation.

  • Intellectuals in the Modern Islamic World
    INTELLECTUALS IN THE MODERN ISLAMIC WORLD This book reconsiders the typology and history of intellectuals in the Islamic world in the modern and contemporary periods from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Intellectuals in the Modern Islamic World distinguishes itself from other major studies on modern thought in Islam by examining this topic beyond the context of the Arabic world. The first section of this book concentrates on a journal, al-Manar, published between 1898 and 1935, and read by a wide range of audiences throughout the Islamic world, which inspired the imagination and arguments of local intellectuals in the first half of the twentieth century. The second part concentrates on the formation, transmission, and transformation of learning and authority, from the Middle East to Central and South Asia, through the twentieth century. Providing a rich variety of case studies, by international authors of the most varied disciplinary scope, Intellectuals in the Modern Islamic World meets the highest academic requirements in a spirit of comparative vision and openness to the dynamism of contemporary societies of the Islamic world. As such, this book is essential reading for those with research interests in Islam and intellectual thought. Stéphane A. Dudoignon is a research fellow at the National Center for Scientific Research (Paris). Komatsu Hisao is a professor at the Graduate School of Humanities and Sociology, The University of Tokyo. Kosugi Yasushi is a professor at the Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University. NEW HORIZONS IN ISLAMIC STUDIES Series editor: Professor Sato Tsugitaka The series New Horizons in Islamic Studies presents the fruitful results of Islamic Area Studies Project conducted in Japan during the years 1997–2001.

[email protected] https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/ The Global Authoritarian Moment and the Revolt against Empire David Motadel IN THE YEARS OF THE Second World War, Berlin became a hub of global anti-imperial revolutionary activism. Between 1941 and 1945, scores of anticolonial leaders flocked to Germany, among them Indians, most famously Subhas Chandra Bose; prominent Arabs, including the Iraqi nationalist Rashid ʿAli al-Kaylani, the Syrian rebel leader Fawzi al-Qawuqji, and Amin al-Husayni, the notorious Mufti of Jerusalem; Irish radicals, such as Seán Russell; and nationalist revolutionaries from Central Asia and the Caucasus—Turkestanis, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, and others. One of these men, the Arab nationalist Yunus Bahri, exulted in his memoirs about wartime Germany’s anticolonial international: “Delegations from oppressed, colonized, and occupied lands such as the Maghrib, Russia, the Arab lands, and India were coming to Berlin, which was victorious on all battlefields.”1 Many of them saw Germany as an ally in their struggle for a new world order.

  • Juliette Bessis (1925-2017) Par Sophie Bessis Juliette Saada Est
    Juliette Bessis (1925-2017) Par Sophie Bessis Juliette Saada est née à Gabès le 16 septembre 1925. Elle y passe sa petite enfance jusqu'à la mort de son père survenue en 1930. Sa mère s'installe alors à Tunis avec ses trois enfants, Juliette - appelée Zouzou depuis sa petite enfance - et ses deux frères aïnés. Juliette Saada a toujours gardé un attachement profond pour son Sud natal où elle est régulièrement revenue durant sa jeunesse. A l'âge de 16 ans, elle rencontre Aldo Bessis, jeune agronome issu d'une famille de la vieille bourgeoisie juive tunisoise, qui a adhéré au parti communiste tunisien en 1938 et devient - avec quelques autres - un de ses dirigeants clandestins durant la période de l'occupation allemande de novembre 1942 à mai 1943. Juliette partage les convictions de son futur mari et adhère au parti communiste dont elle devient rapidement une militante active. Aldo Bessis et Juliette Saada se marient le 3 février 1944 et consacrent leur temps à leur parti, à leurs activités syndicales au sein de l'USTT, syndicat affilié au parti communiste, et à la lutte pour l'indépendance qui entre alors dans sa phase finale. Après la naissance en 1947 de sa première fille, Sophie, Juliette devenue Bessis - seul nom qu'elle gardera - reprend ses études qu'elle avait abandonnées en classe de seconde au moment des mesures antijuives prises par le régime de Vichy, passe son baccalauréat, entre en année de propédeutique puis entame une licence d'histoire-géographie à l'Ecole des hautes études de Tunis, embryon de la future université tunisienne, rattachée à la Sorbonne où les étudiants allaient alors passer leurs examens oraux.

  • La Spada Dell'islam: Northern African Reaction to Fascist Interference
    La Spada dell’Islam: Northern African Reaction to Fascist Interference during the Interwar Period Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in International Studies in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Kaitlyn Rabe The Ohio State University April 2016 Project Advisors: Dana Renga, Department of French and Italian Richard Gunther, Department of Political Science Introduction Mare Nostrum and Mussolini’s Pull Toward the East There is much scholarship devoted to Fascist and Nazi propaganda; most history textbooks in the Western world contain the name “Goebbels”, for example, and Mussolini and Hitler’s abilities in persuading public opinion are well known. A bias exists, however, toward the fascist movements and their diplomacy in a European context, despite the fact that fascism did reach into other areas of the globe, such as Northern Africa and the Middle East.1 Naturally, the scholarship devoted to the subject of Italo-Arab relations during the interwar period is thus limited and still typically Eurocentric in scope. Most scholarly arguments on the subject concern the success (or lack thereof) of fascist Italy’s efforts in the Arab world, whilst English sources on the perspectives of the Northern African elites are incredibly rare. The intellectual framework for my project, in contrast, attempts analyze Italo-Arab interwar relations from the Arab perspective, not in order to dispute the current paradigm on the subject but in order to refine it.
