Mobilising for Group-Specific Norms LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE MOBILISING FOR GROUP-SPECIFIC NORMS: RESHAPING THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION REGIME FOR MINORITIES CORINNE LENNOX A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS OF THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY LONDON, JULY 2009 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 This thesis is dedicated to the memory of: Atsuko Tanaka-Fox whose hard work and dedication made a lasting impact on the protection of minority rights globally and to Murray Osborne and Lee Sinclair-Osborne who are also dearly missed. 3 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the agency of minority groups and their international allies in reshaping the international protection regime for national, ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities to include new group-specific norms. The practices of ―norm entrepreneurship‖ by two groups, Dalits and Afro-descendants, are considered in detail and contrasted with the experiences of similar norm entrepreneurship by indigenous peoples and Roma. Dalit and Afro-descendant activists have pursued norm emergence to establish group-specific recognition, standards and mechanisms at the international level. This thesis examines three key factors that have been instrumental to this group- specific norm emergence: the establishment of strategic frames and stronger forms of transnational mobilisation by each group; the supportive engagement of international actors; and the emergence of new political opportunity structures at the international level, in particular the 2001 UN World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance (WCAR). The findings of the thesis provide insight into macro-level changes to international minority protection. By concentrating on the agency of minority groups, the thesis adds to the largely state-centred literature on minority protection. By critically assessing the role of international actors in aiding this norm entrepreneurship, the thesis helps to uncover their limitations, interests and ideational commitments. The findings contribute to norm entrepreneurship studies by considering a unique kind of transnational non-state actor, one that possesses the latent capacity for statehood. The capacity of weak non- state actors to achieve norm emergence even without state support is demonstrated but the deep challenges they face in securing group-specific norms are exposed. On a normative level, the findings give a glimpse of how emerging norms for transnational minority groups could alter conventions of representation in international society, creating post-Westphalian forms of political community. On a policy level, the findings provide some useful inputs on how to strengthen these new forms of political community and how to enable adherence to emerging group-specific norms. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the UK Economic and Social Research Council for funding a 1+3 PhD Studentship that enabled me to undertake this thesis. I am also grateful for additional funds provided by the London School of Economics and Political Science. I thank my supervisor, Dr. Jennifer Jackson-Preece, and interim supervisor, Professor Kimberly Hutchings, for their support and guidance throughout this endeavour. This thesis would be much poorer indeed if not for the insights gained in several interviews conducted over the course of the project. I therefore would like to thank all of the very busy interviewees for their generosity of time and information. I would particularly like to thank those who kindly also reviewed draft sections of this thesis: Carlos Minott, Leonardo Reales, Ilona Klímová-Alexander, Meena Varma, Judith Morrison, Umakant, Paul Divakar, Samia Slimane, Julian Burger, Ariel Dulitzsky and Rikke Nöhrlind all deserve special thanks in this regard. I have had tremendous support from other people over the course of this odyssey. I would particularly like to acknowledge Anna-Mária Bíro, for being a comrade-in-arms, Anneliese Baldaccini, for being my rock, Kevin Boyle, for his mentorship, the folks at MRG (past and present), and Sjaak Van Der Bent, for making me laugh and cups of tea. To my family and all my other friends, your support and encouragement has carried me through. Thank you. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ....................................................................................................................... 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS ........................................................................................................................... 6 ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS .................................................................................................. 8 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................... 11 LEARNING FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF DALITS AND AFRO-DESCENDANTS: METHODS AND THESIS STRUCTURE ............................................................................................................................................ 17 NORM ENTREPRENEURSHIP BY NON-STATE ACTORS: KEY CONCEPTS AND STRATEGIES .......................... 19 Framing: ........................................................................................................................................... 20 Political opportunity structures: ....................................................................................................... 21 Organisational platforms: ................................................................................................................ 22 Processes of norm emergence: ......................................................................................................... 24 NORM ENTREPRENEURSHIP BY MINORITIES: (RE)-CONSTRUCTING THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION REGIME FOR MINORITIES ........................................................................................................................ 28 Specific challenges to norm entrepreneurship by minorities: ........................................................... 29 Accepting norms for the protection of minorities: rational and ideational motivations ................... 31 Who is a „minority‟?

    Sankofa. Revista de História da África e de Estudos da Diáspora Africana Ano IV, Nº 8, Dezembro/2011 Dossiê – II Seminário Sankofa “Descolonização e Racismo: atualidade e crítica” “Abdias do Nascimento: Aspectos Históricos de um Militante Negro” 1 Eduardo Januário 2 1. Introdução. O objetivo desta apresentação é recordar os aspectos históricos da militância de Abdias do Nascimento, abarcando o contexto nacional e internacional. As fontes utilizadas foram dois livros publicados por Abdias: Genocídio do Negro Brasileiro e Quilombismo, documentos de uma militância Pan-africanista . A ideia é identificar por meio dos relatos escritos por ele, as relações e os diálogos raciais da década de 1970 que, por sua vez, revelam o lugar histórico 3 que condicionou suas próprias reivindicações. Afinal, as questões por ele discutidas e levantadas ainda ecoam fortemente nas pautas de reivindicações do Movimento Negro Contemporâneo –sobretudo, as políticas de ações afirmativas. 2. Aspectos históricos. As reivindicações contra o escravismo e a exploração do negro tiveram início, em escala institucional mais abrangente, no começo do século XX, com o Pan-Africanismo. Este movimento tinha como principal característica a denúncia do extermínio do povo africano e seus descendentes no mundo, propondo “a unificação do continente africano e a aliança concreta e progressiva com uma diáspora unida” 4; destacaram-se como militantes históricos, entre outros: Sylvester Willliams, W.E.B. Du Bois e Marcus Garvey. No pós-2ª. Guerra Mundial, o processo de descolonização acirrou o posicionamento anti-colonialista de militantes 1 Uma pequena parte desta comunicação foi publicada também no artigo denominado “Trajetória do Militante Negro” na edição Militantes da Revista Mouro – Dezembro /2012.

  • The Ancient Kemetic Worldview and Self-Liberation: Mdw Ntr and Seeing with Sia
    THE ANCIENT KEMETIC WORLDVIEW AND SELF-LIBERATION: MDW NTR AND SEEING WITH SIA A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS by Stephanie Joy Tisdale May 2013 Thesis Approval: Dr. Iyelli Ichile, African American Studies, Thesis Advisor © Copyright 2013 by Stephanie Joy Tisdale All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT As the direct descendants of the first human beings, African people are the supreme witnesses of Creation itself, and senior authorities regarding the earthly Creations. African people bear supreme witness to humanity, and the most effective methods of being human: the biology and chemistry of life, the physiological and metaphysical aspects of earthly existence, and the science of the cosmic Creations—observing all that is above and what exists there, beyond the sky. By definition humanity is African: the first human beings were African and the first defining innovations of humanity were birthed in Africa. Since history is necessarily a study of the origins of humanity, and the first humans were African, history then must initiate at the emergence of humankind, which took place in Africa. The records left and maintained by the oldest humans on earth—written, memorized, or otherwise—provide amazing clues as to the initial Creation and subsequent development of humankind. As each successive generation works to strengthen the collective memory of their own people’s past before conquer, the struggle to remember memories and to keep traditions intact becomes even more evident. As with every epic turn of events, the conquered are forced to decide if they will remain as such or not.

  • Africa’ Within the Diaspora: the Significance of the Relationship Between Haiti and Free Africans of Philadelphia Following the Haitian Revolution
    LOCATING ‘AFRICA’ WITHIN THE DIASPORA: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HAITI AND FREE AFRICANS OF PHILADELPHIA FOLLOWING THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Maria Ifetayo Flannery May, 2016 Examining Committee Members: Molefi Kete Asante, Advisory Chair, Africology & African America Studies Kimani Nehusi, Africology & African American Studies Benjamin Talton, History Diane Turner, External Member, Charles L. Blockson Afro-American Collection i © Copyright 2016 by Maria Ifetayo Flannery All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to produce an Africological model that lends attention to epistemological questions in African diaspora research through theoretical and culturally based analysis, ultimately to aid the historical and psychological restoration of Africans in diaspora. This work reflects the theoretical and historic stream of scholarship that centers geographic Africa as the adhesive principle of study in shaping and understanding the cultural and political ally-ship between different African diasporic communities. My aim is to illustrate what Africa represents in diaspora and how it was shaped in the conscious minds and actions of early Africans in diaspora from their own vantage point. Secondly, through a case study of the intra-diasporic relationship between Haiti and free Africans of Philadelphia following the Haitian Revolution, this work lays precedence for the expansion of an African diasporic consciousness. The significance of the intra-diasporic relationship is in the mutual recognition that Haitians and Africans in North America considered themselves a common people. Moreover, they developed an international relationship during the early 19th century to serve their mutual interest in African freedom and autonomous development despite Western expansion.

  • Reservations in India
    INTRODUCTION In early September 2001, world television news viewers saw an unusual sight. A delegation from India had come to the United Nations Conference on Racism in Durban, South Africa, not to join in condemnations of Western countries but to condemn India and its treatment of its Dalits (oppressed), as Indians better known abroad as “untouchables” call themselves. The Chairman of India’s official but independent National Human Rights Commission thought the plight of one-sixth of India’s population was worthy of inclusion in the conference agenda, but the Indian government did not agree. India’s Minister of State for External Affairs stated that raising the issue would equate “casteism with racism, which makes India a racist country, which we are not.”1 Discrimination against groups of citizens on grounds of race, religion, language, or national origin has long been a problem with which societies have grappled. Religion, over time, has been a frequent issue, with continuing tensions in Northern Ireland and in Bosnia being but two recent and still smoldering examples. Race-based discrimination in the United States has a long history beginning with evictions of Native Americans by European colonists eager for land and other natural resources and the importation of African slaves to work the land. While the framers of the U.S. Constitution papered over slavery in 1787, it was already a moral issue troubling national leaders, including some Southern slave owners like Washington and Jefferson. On his last political mission, the aging Benjamin Franklin lobbied the first new Congress to outlaw slavery. 1 “Indian Groups Raise Caste Question,” BBC News, September 6, 2001.

Saiu da ilha de Cuba em 1963, morou em diversos países, militou ao lado de vários intelectuais e artistas negros fundamentais à história do século XX, a exemplo de Myriam Makeba, Malcom X, Aimé Césaire, Max Roach, Maya Ange­ lou, Cheikh Anta Diop, Fela Kuti, Stokely Carmichael, Lélia Gonzáles e Abdias do Nascimento. Publicou vários livros, dentre os quais destacamos Racismo e Sociedade, uma obra fundamental para compreender as bases epistemológicas do racismo, e Fela. Esta vida puta. Na sua autobiografia, Moore apresenta suas travessias como militante, diaspórico e inte­ lectual engajado que dedica sua vida à luta contra o racismo e pela transformação social. Nesta conversa com a Revista Grau Zero, ele nos recebeu em sua residência no Bairro de Nazaré, para falar sobre a luta conta o racismo, as travessias em busca da igualdade e o papel do intelectual engajado nos territórios diaspóricos. 1 Mestranda do Programa de Mestrado em Critica Cultural, UNEB, Campus II, Alagoinhas (BA).

  • The Revolution Will Be Televised: Afro-Brazilian Media Production in São Paulo, Brazil
    THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED: AFRO-BRAZILIAN MEDIA PRODUCTION IN SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Reighan Alexandra Gillam May 2012 © 2012 Reighan Alexandra Gillam THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED: AFRO-BRAZILIAN MEDIA PRODUCTION IN SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL Reighan Alexandra Gillam, Ph. D. Cornell University 2012 This dissertation documents the development of the TV da Gente (Our TV) television network in São Paulo, Brazil. The first network of its kind in Brazil, TV da Gente producers channeled blackness as a focal point for television production by employing Afro-Brazilians to appear on the shows as central figures and by creating content that sought to appeal to an Afro-Brazilian audience. This dissertation characterizes the racially unequal visual relations in Brazil through the ways in which Afro-Brazilians are and are not seen in public images. It foregrounds these racially unequal visual relations as sites of contestation for Afro-Brazilian media producers at TV da Gente. I track the roles of Afro-Brazilians in mainstream Brazilian visual culture to demonstrate the ways in which they remain conspicuously absent or marginally present with public representations. An examination of TV da Gente television producers’ intentions in program creation and an analysis of the programs they made shows that they privileged middle class images of Afro-Brazilians that emphasized education, professional work, and civic responsibility. I argue that the visual conditions of Afro-Brazilian images that already saturated the public sphere circumscribed the images available to TV da Gente workers for Afro-Brazilian visibility.

  • Africa and Its Diaspora in America Since 1900, Continuity and Change1
    African and Asian Studies A A S African and Asian Studies 7 (2008) 259-288 www.brill.nl/aas A Matter of Identity: Africa and Its Diaspora in America Since 1900, Continuity and Change1 Godfrey N. Uzoigwe, D. Phil., Oxon Professor of History, 203 Williamsburg Drive, Starkville, MS 39759, USA E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract Using Africa and its Diaspora in America as a paradigm, this article looks at the triple manifesta- tions of consciousness in the dialectic of relationships between the two groups since 1900, and notices both continuity and change that can be traced back to the 1700s. In Africa, this con- sciousness is reflected in the conflicting demands of continental Pan-Africanism or Mega-Nation- alism, Racial or Black Pan-Africanism (in a multi-racial continent), and Mezzo-nationalism of the continent’s present multi-nation states. In America it also has always had three faces (and not two as DuBois said) – American, Black-American and African. Studying these complex relationships that often contradicted one another and cut across class and ideological lines is a difficult and frustrating task. Th e article therefore suggests that a more rewarding effort is to focus attention on such issues as cultivating mutual respect, stressing common historico-cultral heritage, empha- sizing economic cooperation, and putting in place coordinated, effective political action between the groups that hopefully will lead to their solidarity and empowerment in the 21st century. Th e African Union should assume the initiative of constructing a more relevant and realistic Pan- African ideology based along the lines sketched above to achieve this goal.

Retomo aqui, a partir de O quilombismo - documentos de uma militância pan-africanista -, às atividades desse intelectual negro e de seu ativismo nos anos de 70 e princípio dos 80. Busco dar enten- dimento ao seu pensamento, cuja concepção encontra-se intimamente atada às ideias de consciência histórica e de personalidade africana. Conceitos-chave do movimento Pan-Africanista que, por sua vez, perfazem-se vinculados às perspectivas de renascimento africano e de regeneração da África. Dedico- me, assim, a análise dos documentos 1, 3 e 7 de O quilombismo, tendo em conta a conexão de tais conceitos com a ideia de negritude para além da interiorização individual subjetivista de seus sentidos. Retomo, assim, a perspectiva de personalidade africana, personalidade negra e consciência negra como expressões de crítica ao modelo civilizatório eurorocentrista. O Quilombo, portanto, como tradução e força do espírito das instituições político-econômicas, religião, arte e cultura, mas também, comunidade em solidariedade; convivência e comunhão social. E, enquanto sua derivação e visão de mundo, o qui- lombismo como concepção de localidade e de centralidade da tradução de práticas - saberes e experiên- cias outras de grande lastro histórico.

Página 1 de 15 Revista Transcultural de Música Transcultural Music Review #11 (2007) ISSN:1697-0101 An Afrocentric Approach to Musical Performance in the Black South Atlantic: The Candombe Drumming in Uruguay Luis Ferreira[1] Abstract The Candombe drumming by people of African descent in Uruguay is a sound case in the Southern end of the so called Black Atlantic. This paper analyzes style and interactive fluency in the body movements that generate sound and music, following the meanings attributed to each drum by noted expert drum musicians. It is argued how African cultural principles organize the musical performance suggesting that these music and dance practices may be fruitfully approached from an Afrocentered hermeneutical perspective. Further, an argument is advanced about the expressivity, philosophy and values embedded in Candombe drumming performances which responds to African cultural senses as well as encoding a local history of epic resistance and revitalization of consciousness.
