Beyond your threshold, beyond the sea the great struggle continues. Men with warm eyes and hands as hard as the earth at night embrace their children and depart before the dawn. Many will not return. What does it matter? We are men tired of shackles. For us freedom is worth more than life. From you, brother, we expect and to you we offer not the hand of charity which misleads and humiliates but the hand of comradeship committed, conscious, How can you refuse, brother from the West?

This event, completed in 1975 by the independence of all the former Portuguese colonies in Africa, transformed the political situation in Southern Africa. We decided to proceed with the publication of this book in its Portuguese version, since independence in the former Portuguese colonies constituted a clear turning- point in the historical development of their national liberation movements.

Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education 15(2) 146 Heralding the Other: Sousa, Simulacra, and Settler Colonialism Matthew C. Graham University of Oregon This paper addresses the role of music and music education in the perpetuation of settler colonialism (a particular colonial configuration predicated on the expulsion of indigenous people and occupation of indigenous land) within the United States. Using Baudrillard’s notion of simulacra, or “false truths,” to look at racialized depictions in John Philip Sousa’s 1910 suite, Dwellers of the Western World, this article identifies both the historic and ongoing discursive functions of such representations in the maintenance of a specific set of social relations. Through such examination, we can engender conversations regarding music education’s roll within settler colonial society and work towards redressing the resulting inequities of this societal structure. It is only through a resultant praxis that we can affect material change.

  • The Indebted Creditors: Colonialism, Underdevelopment and the Invaluable Value of the Historic Debt
    Continental Thought & Theory CT&T A journal of intellectual freedom Volume 1 | Issue 2: Debt and Value 333-352 | ISSN: 2463-333X The Indebted Creditors: Colonialism, Underdevelopment and the Invaluable Value of the Historic Debt David Pavón-Cuéllar Abstract: This paper examines four different approaches to the historic debt that developed countries owe to underdeveloped countries. It is shown how this debt has been disregarded by the cultural explanations of underdevelopment; how it was explained and condemned by Andre Gunder Frank, Ruy Mauro Marini, Theotonio dos Santos and other exponents of dependency theory; how it has been negated by the right-wing French intellectuals Max Gallo, Daniel Lefeuvre and Pascal Bruckner; and how it can still be recognized and problematized following Jacques Lacan’s ideas. The Lacanian theory, together with Alain Badiou’s critique of Sarkozism, is also used to criticize the denial of the debt by Gallo, Lefeuvre and Bruckner. Keywords: Historic debt, underdevelopment, colonialism, capitalism, Sarkozism, dependency theory, Jacques Lacan, Alain Badiou. http://ctt.canterbury.ac.nz CONTINENTAL THOUGHT & THEORY: A JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM Volume 1, Issue 2: Debt and Value There exist at least four different attitudes regarding the historic debt of developed countries vis-à-vis underdeveloped countries that were previously colonies. This debt can be overlooked, denounced, negated or problematized. Its problematization, which presupposes its recognition, will be the final outcome of this paper. What will be problematized here is not the unquestionable actuality of the historic debt, but its usual conceptions, its consequences and the ways in which its debtors and creditors may address it.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Political Economy of Colonialism
    Political Economy of Colonialism I. Proposal’s context, positioning and objective(s) a. Objectives and research hypothesis This project first aims at building a new political economy of colonialism in the 19th and 20th centuries. It will be grounded in the study of the French case yet with other colonial empires (British, Portuguese, Japanese) in mind, mainly in Africa (North and Sub-Saharan) but also in South-East Asia (Indochina). This will mean taking into account different organizations: states, firms, churches; analysing the achievements and interactions of different strategic actors: politicians, military men, civil servants, capitalists and traders, missionaries, autochthonous elites, urban middle classes, poor farmers; and characterizing the institutional designs or the social playing fields that structured these interactions. A dynamic analysis of economic inequality will be a first target to reach, to identify winners and losers (at least in economic terms) of colonialism and of colonial policies at different periods in each place. Networks of political and economic connections will also be investigated in order to better understand the consonance or dissonance of the interests of actors, and the features of strategic interactions or bargains; network analysis will also allow us to consider non-economic interests (social capital, power). Our research hypothesis is here that colonialism was mainly beneficial to a minority of politically and economically influential actors, in metropolitan or local societies. The longevity of colonialism could be explained by the political and economic success of pro-colonial coalitions in the metropolis, the so-called colonial lobbies, which also included a few cooperative agents from the colonized societies.

  • Introduction Cooperation and Empire: Local Realities of Global Processes
    Introduction Cooperation and Empire: Local Realities of Global Processes Tanja Bührer, Flavio Eichmann, Stig Förster and Benedikt Stuchtey } During the First World War the young British officer Thomas E. Lawrence played a leading role in the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire that helped the allies win the war in the Middle East. Lawrence’s adventures and his open sympathy for the Arab cause earned him not only promo- tions but also the admiration of many Arab warriors. He became famous as Lawrence of Arabia. At the Peace Conference in Paris Lawrence served as an advisor to Prince Faisal’s delegation and often sided with the Arab cause against the aspirations of the imperialistic powers who intended to carve up the defunct Ottoman Empire and distribute the spoils of victory among themselves. Some British countrymen therefore accused Lawrence of having ‘gone native’.1 Had he really abandoned loyalty to his country or did he just regard the allied policy of broken promises vis-à-vis the Arabs as shameful? Was Lawrence primarily an agent of British imperial interests, a friend of the Arab cause or something in between? In the mid-1880s the British civil servant Wilfrid Scawen Blunt visited India. He reported on a growing conflict among the ‘natives’. On the one hand ‘Westernizers’, though well-meaning, were all too Anglophile, almost justifying British imperial rule. On the other hand, ‘traditionalists’ opposed Western education as it symbolized an essentially non-religious life. Blunt, who was one of the most prolific critics of European

As a result of these entangled histories, Latin American science does not fit easily into the standard periodization of Western histories of science, nor into traditional Latin American historical periodization. This inability to effectively categorize and constrain the heterogeneous histories of Latin American science has meant that these fascinating narratives have been widely ignored by historians in the West.

This essay will examine the top four marketing trends that can be observed on the Amazon listings for books published on animal rights within the last ten years, specifically relating to titles, cover design, and the intended audience. From graphic adaptations of animals to traditional textbook approaches and animal photography, publishers are striving to evoke interest and investment in literature concerning a politically charged and inherently personal topic.

  • A History of Contestations Over Natural Resources in the Lower Tchiri Valley in Malawi, C.1850-1960
    A history of contestations over natural resources in the Lower Tchiri Valley in Malawi, c.1850-1960. by George Berson Diston Jawali Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof Sandra Swart March 2015 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: .................................................... Date: ........................................... Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study explores hunting in the Lower Tchiri Valley as an arena in which African and white hunting interests as well as conservation policies precipitated insurgence and accommodation, collaboration and conflict. Precolonial Magololo hunters, having supplanted Mang’anja hunting as a result of the superiority of their hunting technology by 1861, found themselves in competition with white sport hunters over game animals. Unequal power relations between the Magololo hunters and the white hunters, who formed part of the colonial administration in Nyasaland from the 1890s, saw the introduction of game laws that led to wild animals and their sanctuaries becoming contested terrains. Colonial officials and some whites enjoyed privileges in hunting game whose declining populations were blamed on Africans in general and the Magololo in particular. Some Africans and certain whites devised hunting strategies that brought them into conflict with the colonial state.
