  • Joola Dynamics Between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau Jordi Tomàs (CEA-ISCTE) Paper Presented at ABORNE Fifth Annual Conference, Lisbon, September 22Th, 2011
    THIS IS REALLY A PRELIMINARY DRAFT. NOT FOR CITATION OR CIRCULATION WITHOUT AUTHOR’S PERMISSION, PLEASE An international border or just a territorial limit? Joola dynamics between Senegal and Guinea-Bissau Jordi Tomàs (CEA-ISCTE) Paper presented at ABORNE Fifth Annual Conference, Lisbon, September 22th, 2011. Introduction This paper aims to present an ongoing research about the dynamics of Joola population in the border between Guinea-Bissau and Senegal (more specifically from the Atlantic Ocean to the Niambalang river). We would like to tell you about how Joola Ajamaat (near the main town of Susanna, Guinea-Bissau) and Joola Huluf (near the main town of Oussouye, Senegal) define the border and, especially, how they use this border in their daily lives1. As most borderland regions in the Upper Guinea Coast, this international border separates two areas that have been economically and politically marginalised within their respective national contexts (Senegal and Guinea-Bissau) in colonial and postcolonial times. Moreover, from 1982 –that is, for almost 30 years– this border area has suffered the conflict between the separatist MFDC (Mouvement des Forces Démocratiques de Casamance) and the Senegalese army (and, in the last few years, the Bissau-Guinean army as well). Despite this situation, the links between the population on both sides are still alive, as we will show later on. After a short historical presentation, we would like to focus on three main subjects. First, to show concrete examples of everyday life gathered during our fieldwork. Secondly, to see how the conflict have affected the relationship between the Joola from both sides of 1 This paper has been made possible thanks to a postdoctoral scholarship granted by FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia).

  • RASD Summer 2007 ------Full Belly Project
    Duke Engineers Without Borders: RASD Summer 2007 ------------------- Full Belly Project Introduction: The overall goal for our work with the Full Belly Project this summer is to introduce their Universal Nut Sheller technology to the Rural Agency for Sustainable Development (RASD) and distribute the technology in the immediate areas surrounding Nkokonjero in the Mukono district of Uganda. A production facility was set-up in Iganga, Uganda earlier this summer by the Full Belly Project and a number of students from the University of North Carolina and the Olin College of Technology. During our time working with RASD, we wish to make the RASD center a distribution center by creating a market for the machines. Why we are doing what we are doing---Mission Rationale The UNS has an enormous potential to alleviate some of the stress rural citizens in Uganda face by efficiently and quickly shelling several types of agriculture. For instance, citizens in eastern Ugandans can spend hours each day shelling peanuts, a staple food source in the area. Others spend time husking coffee or shelling shea nuts. The UNS can save rural citizens hours upon hours of manual labor that can be used for far better means. Our aim is to introduce this extremely effective machine into the hands as a many people as possible. Trying to go as an outside entity (a bunch of young American, white people, more specifically) it would be very hard to introduce the technology to people in the Nkokonjero area any without any outside experience in introducing agricultural technolgies nor extensive knowledge of the area.

  • 10 Cases of Appropriate Technology
    10 Cases of Appropriate Technology - Published June 12, 2010 by xilebat – The goal of Appropriate Technology (AT) is to increase the standard of living for the developing world without condescension, complication, or environmental damage. Typical AT inventions are more labor intensive, require fewer resources, and use low cost or readily available materials wherever possible. Special attention is paid to the social, cultural, and ethical aspects of the communities the technology is intended for. Submitted for your approval are 10 inventions using these principles, and they are every bit as ingenious as anything coming out of Silicon Valley. You will also find several links to charitable organizations distributing these products for little or no cost, should you wish to contribute to their efforts. 10 One Laptop Per Child The developing world may be falling behind when competing for resources, but it hasn’t even started regarding technology. The “One Laptop One Child” project aims to fix this. Its goal is to create a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected computer for children in the third world. Its XO laptop is about the size of a small textbook, with built-in wireless and a screen readable in direct sunlight (for children who school outdoors). The computer is extremely durable, energy efficient, and has a childlike industrial design to discourage gray market trafficking—whip this out at the boardroom and everybody will know who’s NOT getting to use it. XO laptops have already been delivered to children in Afghanistan and East Africa, with additional shipments scheduled for the Palestinian Occupied Territories. More information.

  • Co-‐Op Grocery Stores: More Than Food | Building a Self
    Co-op Grocery Stores: More than Food | Building a Self-Determined Food Community in Detroit’s North End Hallie Clark Bill Emerson National Hunger Fellow 2013-2014 Field Site: Detroit Black Community Food Security Network February 2014 Purpose: Detroit is not a food desert; Detroit’s food issue does not come from a lack of physical stores. Detroit’s food issue is rooted in an unequal racial and economic system that produces the necessity for self-determined1 communities. The Detroit Black Community Food Security Network (DBCFSN), a black food justice, is spearheadinG the development of a 7500 square/foot consumer cooperative grocery store in Detroit’s North End neighborhood2. This project is particularly important in the majority black Detroit where residents do not own the majority of food retail stores. The North End is almost 98% African American and has a hiGh concentration of “party stores” (liquor stores) and convenience stores servinG as substitutes for Grocery stores with affordable and quality food products. The area also shows the effect of Government disinvestment, proof of Detroit’s current land Grab3, and remnants of the war on drugs4. Though the North End’s current context and history demonstrates the promise in alternative and creative solutions to encourage food secure communities. This report will examine how the North End is an ideal place for a co-op Grocery store. The North End’s history and present has the appropriate infrastructure for a store that specifically addresses the two-fold issue of ownership and quality food availability in the neiGhborhood. This report also offers a brief history on how Black communities have used the cooperative business model as a strategy for addressing economic inequality and injustice.

  • A Day in the Life of Cooperative America
    A DAY IN THE LIFE OF COOPERATIVE AMERICA A Project of the National Co-op Month Committee COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES Cooperatives follow seven internationally recognized principles as adopted in 1995 by the International Cooperative Alliance. The National Cooperative Business Association lists these as: 1. Voluntary and Open Membership Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to all persons able to use their services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership, without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination. 2. Democratic Member Control Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting their policies and making decisions. Men and women serving as elected representatives are accountable to the membership. In primary cooperatives, members have equal voting rights (one member, one vote) and cooperatives at other levels are organized in a democratic manner. 3. Member Economic Participation Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative. At least part of that capital is usually the common property of the cooperative. They usually receive limited compensation, if any, on capital subscribed as a condition of membership. Members allocate surpluses for any or all of the following purposes: developing the cooperative, possibly by setting up reserves, part of which at least would be indivisible; benefiting members in proportion to their transactions with the cooperative; and supporting other activities approved by the membership. 4. Autonomy and Independence Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members. If they enter into agreements with other organizations, including governments, or raise capital from external sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control by their members and maintain their cooperative autonomy.

  • “That's Capitalism, Not a Co-Op:”
    “That’s Capitalism, Not a Co-op”: Countercultural Idealism and Business Realism in 1970s U.S. Food Co-ops Maria McGrath In the 1970s, dissenting young Americans bolting from what was perceived to be the unhealthy, “toxic” content of 1950s and 1960s corporate-controlled commercial foods, found refuge and like- minded community in food co-ops, or “food conspiracies.” As experiments in participatory democracy, anti-capitalist countercultural business, and centers for alternative foods consumption, co-ops acted as protean clearinghouses for multiple political and cultural concerns. Members could join in hopes of creating a non-traditional business model, to support craft food production, to sustain organic farming, for the believed health benefits of unprocessed foods, or to take part in a communal project. This ideological inclusiveness attended to members’ multifarious countercultural agendas, but eventually led to internal conflict as the everyday exigencies of running a business butted up against the turmoil fostered by anti-hierarchical, volunteer structures. In this paper, I examine two issues that presented the greatest challenge for food cooperatives: the implementation of co-op governance and management systems, and the politics of food. Despite these struggles, from the 1970s forward U.S. food co-ops have remained a flexible forum within which the progressive middle-class can practice conscientious consumption, alternative business, and purposeful communalism. The late 1960s and early 1970s were an especially fertile period for the creation in the United States of what cultural radicals called “free organizations.” Young college-educated activists formed collectives to provide America’s forgotten and poor with medical, childcare, housing, and legal services, funneling their skills into more meaningful work and more egalitarian institutions than the corporate mainstream offered.
