Access: Open for research Administrative Information Acquisition: Purchase, 1990 (R12142) Processed by: Bob Taylor, 2008 Repository: The University of Texas at Austin, Harry Ransom Center The Transcription Centre, circa 1962-1977 Organizational History The Transcription Centre began its brief but significant life in February 1962 under the direction of Dennis Duerden (1927-2006), producing and distributing radio programs for and about Africa. Duerden was a graduate of Queen’s College, Oxford and had served as principal of the Government Teachers’ College at Keffi, Nigeria and later as producer of the Hausa Service of the BBC. As an artist and educator with experience in West Africa, as well as a perceptive critic of African art he was a natural in his new post. The Transcription Centre was created with funding provided initially by the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) to foster non-totalitarian cultural values in sub-Saharan Africa in implicit opposition to Soviet-encouraged committed political attitudes among African writers and artists. Much of the CCF’s funding and goals were subsequently revealed to have come from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. The stress between the CCF’s presumed wish to receive value for their investment in the Transcription Centre and Duerden’s likely belief that politically-based programming would alienate the very audience it sought permeated his activities throughout his years with the radio service.

  • Gender and Economic Policy in a Democratic South Africa
    GENDER AND ECONOMIC POLICY IN A DEMOCRATIC SOUTH AFRICA Frene Ginwala, Maureen Mackintosh and Doreen Massey Introduction In April 1990, approximately 50 economists associated with the ANC and the mass democratic movement met in Harare to discuss the South African economy and policy options in a democratic South Africa. Later, the ANC and COSATU came together and produced policy guidelines for the economy. On both occasions, very few women were invited to participate and there was little, if any, discussion on gender in the papers, while the recommendations did not reflect an understanding that gender oppression is structured into all aspects of South African society, including the economy. This paper is a contribution to the current debate in South Africa on future economic policy, and is based on the assumption that the debate should involve everyone. The paper is about the economy, but not addressed to economists. In particular, we hope to help empower women to participate in thc debate and in policy making. We are not here formulating policy on gender issues, but reflecting on the implications of gender questions in policy formulation on the economy: how the present and future economy would look if one took into account the total population of South Africa - black and white - rather than simply the minority of the population who happen to be male. In doing so, we have drawn on research being done in South Africa and elsewhere on women and gender issues in South Africa, and on the research and experience of women in other countries. As we have said, this is not simply an academic exercise.
