  • James Smoot Coleman, 1919-85
    Africa, 56 (1), 1986 JAMES SMOOT COLEMAN, 1919-85 James S. Coleman, President of the African Studies Association in the USA in 1963-64 and member of the executive council of the IAI from 1969 to 1977, died on 20 April 1985. Michael Lofchie, Director of the African Studies Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, with the assistance of several of his colleagues, has written this personal appreciation of the man and his work: For all of us who were his students, his colleagues and his friends, there is the sense that Jim Coleman is absolutely irreplaceable. His unique combination of personal qualities and capacities enabled him to do the work of several and gave him a profoundly meaningful place in our lives. Jim touched us in special ways and even now we wonder what will become of the monumental assignments that he assumed as his final challenges: the creation of a multidisciplinary programme in international development studies at UCLA and the completion of a volume on the role of education in Third World development. So many of Jim's qualities stand out as larger than life that merely to inventory them is daunting. One calls to mind his pioneering theoretical contributions to political science and development studies; his legendary capacity for work; his uncanny administrative skills that combined meticulous attention to detail with a grand and sweeping vision; and a personal style that has been variously described as saintly, fatherly, incredibly self-effacing and touched with the quality of grace. All of us who came into contact with Jim brought away an enlarged sense of ourselves and our abilities.

    Rethinking Négritude: Aimé Césaire & Léopold Sédar Senghor and the Imagination of a Global Postcoloniality Yohann C. Ripert Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Yohann C. Ripert All rights reserved ABSTRACT Rethinking Negritude: Aimé Cesaire & Léopold Sédar Senghor and the Imagination of a Global Postcoloniality Yohann C. Ripert This dissertation calls into question the critique that has depicted the Francophone literary movement known as Negritude as a sole vehicle of black essentialism. By looking at recently published anthologies, archival documents, and lesser-known texts from 1935 to 1966, I show that in addition to the discourse on a fixed ‘blackness’ engraved in the neologism ‘Negritude,’ there is another set of discourses that forces us to rethink the movement as a philosophy of becoming. In particular, this dissertation stages the year 1948, when Jean-Paul Sartre gave Negritude its fame with the publication of his influential essay “Black Orpheus,” as a pivot for the definition of the movement as well as its reception. Since 1948, most of the critical engagement with Negritude has happened either through a reading of Sartre’s essay or the limited corpus that was available at the time. I thus argue that, by reading a broader range of the poets of Negritude’s literary and cultural production, one gets a sense that their vindication of Blackness is not only an essentialized invocation of a romanticized past, it is also an imagined unity within an evolving postcoloniality. This dissertation covers three areas within which this constantly reimagined unity is staged, from the youthful local publications of Aimé Césaire and Léopold Sédar Senghor from 1935 to 1948, to their mature global interactions as statesmen in Dakar, Fort-de-France, Paris and Rome from 1948 to 1966.

  • Counterinsurgency As Ideology the Evolution of Expert Knowledge Production in U.S
    Counterinsurgency as Ideology The evolution of expert knowledge production in U.S. asymmetric warfare (1898-2011): The cases of the Philippines, Vietnam and Iraq Submitted by Tobias Ruettershoff, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Strategy and Security, May 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………… 1 While I am on debunking operations, I would like to come to one particular point; it is our use of terminology: The terms ‘insurgency,’ ‘paramilitary operations,’ ‘guerrilla operations,’ ‘limited warfare,’ ‘sublimited warfare,’ etc. We have gotten to the position of the doctor faced with a strange disease. Whenever doctors are faced with a strange disease they give it a long name. It does not cure you, but at least it makes you feel good because you think they know what they are talking about. And this is what we have done with this particular subject. (Bernard Fall 1963) 2 Abstract This PhD thesis examines the status of ‘expert knowledge’ in the history of U.S. asymmetric, or ‘counterinsurgency’ (COIN), warfare during the last century. The historical rise of expert influence has so far been neglected in the study of wars within the field of International Relations and the thesis will give us an indication of the importance and utility of expert knowledge.
