Cutro IntroductiolL • Reading for Revolution "I am doing a research project on Africa," a high school student wrote the Africa Research Group the other day. "~teacher is really reactionary and I want to challenge his approach. Please send me everything you have thats radical." . Of course, we didnIt send off our entire library or files but frequent requests of a similar nature point to a widespread unfamiliarity with available radical literature about Africa among students and movement people~ For reasops that. have everything to do with institutionalized racism in the sohools and mass media, Africa's history and current problems and achievements have not reoeived the public attention they deserve. The resurgence of black consciousness is foroing the study of Africa to be inco~porated in most school currioUDIWU. The anti-war movement's focus on U.S. intervention in Vietnam has sparked interest in 1Ilper1alist involve­ _nts and revolutionary movements in other parts of the 'third·world. I '" ,.. a result, Africa is finding a prominent place on the map of international radioal counsciousness. Unfortunately, and not suprisingly, most of the literature ava1lab~e in the United States about Africa tends to renect the needs, interests, and ideology of existing social system. As one critic of most American Africanists has explaineda "African studies has been careeristic or merely fashionable, concern has been less with the subject of study, with the conditions, needs, and potential of the African people, than with the abstract problems that qualified a student as an academic expert or Africanist." In the guise of studying about Africa, these "experts" have actually been perpetznating a form of academio colonialism which provides the 1Iiper1alist powers with the det...Ued. information they need to continue to dominate the continent. (An Africa Research Group publication, !!:!!. Extended Famil,y (50;) offers a detailed critique of the links between the "tribe" of U.S.Africanists with the C.I.A., other government agencies, American corporations and their foundations.) . Only new and more radical intellectual approaches and perspectives can help us create alternative research and scholarship which ena~les us to tell the truth about whats happening in Africa and the world itself. People interested in understanding the world inorder ~ change II are preoccupied with a different set of questions than the ideologists of the status quo. We must understand the structures of domination as well as the strategies of liberation. If we are westerners living in the imperialist world, our foous IIlUSt be on the institutions which structure the nee-colonial reality of so much of "independent" Africa. Our studies of Afrioan societies IIlUSt use the tools of class analysis rather than the frequently racist ohimeras of the 'tribalists.' .,Finally, our intellectual interests in Afrioan affairs oannot be divorced from a political committment to support the heroio efforts of Africa's freedom fighters. This Study' Guide otters a bib11ograplv' ot books and aterials about Africa which are either radical or relevant to a radical anaqsis. It is not the work ot protessional bibl1ograohers and cannot claim to be detinitive. It represents instead a cOJllP1l&tion ot books which help illuminate the African situation. We have orgardBed them around various themes which suggest a methodological approach as well. In some cases we have deliberately ommitted well-known but not particularly radical works and in some cases, no doubt, have allowed mediocre _terial to slip through. We have tried to include only materials which are tairly easy to obtain, and have, sadly, ommitted many importaat documents, pamphlets, and articles, vbiell are unavailable • Where we could, we've included addresses ot places to write f .. more information. Since we are writing primarily tor an American audience, we've gone lightly on French entries. We have also confined our focus, as a result of of our own limitations at this stage, to most of Sub-Saharan Africa. Unhappily,that means we've included no references, in this edition, to materials about the Algerian Revolution. North Africa, or, for that matter, Ethiopia. the Sudan and other' countries. We apologize for this gap and hope to remedy it in subsequent revisions. Needless to say, the inclusion or exclusion of any one book or article does not necessarily represent the political perspective of the Africa Research Group. We welcome feedback on the usefulness of this publication as well a8 suggestions for works to include in the future. This Study Guide is intended tO,complement a new e~ded research methodology guide publiched by the No1'th American Congress on Latin America(NACLA), with the help ot the Africa Research Group. That guide will be indispensable tor individuals interested in researching modern imperialism. Copies will be a.ailable from A.R.G. tor $1.25. Good Advice ...

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

Political units in the history of West Africa Ife, perched at the edge of Nigeria’s forest, is thought to have come to prominence through its control of local products – including ivory, gold and pepper – in external trade. By AD 1300, its walled capital was at the peak of its wealth, with many shrines featuring elaborate pavements made of pieces of pottery, and a rich tradition of creating brass and terracotta sculptures, including ones of people richly adorned in ceremonial regalia. Many of these have survived. Subsistence for the large elite and artisan population appears to have been based upon small livestock and the cultivation of vegetables. Around AD 1500, the city of Ife declined, and the region’s center of power shifted to Benin without any appreciable break in cultural tradition. Questions 1 – 5. Complete the summary below.

  • The Legacy of Inkosi Albert John Luthuli's Christian-Centred Political
    Faith and politics in the context of struggle: the legacy of Inkosi Albert John Luthuli’s Christian-centred political leadership Simangaliso Kumalo Ministry, Education & Governance Programme, School of Religion and Theology, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa Abstract Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli, a Zulu Inkosi and former President-General of the African National Congress (ANC) and a lay-preacher in the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA) is a significant figure as he represents the last generation of ANC presidents who were opposed to violence in their execution of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. He attributed his opposition to violence to his Christian faith and theology. As a result he is remembered as a peace-maker, a reputation that earned him the honour of being the first African to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Also central to Luthuli’s leadership of the ANC and his people at Groutville was democratic values of leadership where the voices of people mattered including those of the youth and women and his teaching on non-violence, much of which is shaped by his Christian faith and theology. This article seeks to examine Luthuli’s legacy as a leader who used peaceful means not only to resist apartheid but also to execute his duties both in the party and the community. The study is a contribution to the struggle of maintaining peace in the political sphere in South Africa which is marked by inter and intra party violence. The aim is to examine Luthuli’s legacy for lessons that can be used in a democratic South Africa.

  • Trajectories and Transitions Among Rural Capitalists in Senegal
    Journal of Agrarian Change, Vol. 7 No. 4, October 2007, pp. 453–493. BlackwellOxford,JOACJournal1471-0358©XXXOriginalStoriesCarlos The Author.Oya UKofArticles Publishing AgrarianRural Journal AccumulationStories Change Ltd compilation © Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Henry Bernstein and Terenceof J. Byres. Rural Accumulation in Africa: Trajectories and Transitions among Rural Capitalists in Senegal CARLOS OYA This paper analyzes primary qualitative evidence from life histories of rural capi- talists in contemporary Senegal. Various common themes in the declining literature on rural capitalism in Africa are discussed with reference to the specific individual trajectories of rural farm capitalists in Senegal. The themes include the emergence of rural capitalism in the context of protracted, uneven and gradual rural social differentiation and the various processes that have accompanied it; the condition of ‘entrepreneurship’ in such changing historical contexts; the symbiotic relation- ship between different spaces (loci) of accumulation, especially trade, transport and farming and the historical context in which they take place; the crucial but sometimes contradictory role of the state in spurring or constraining rural capitalist accumulation; and the variety of ‘idioms of accumulation’, which reflect tran- sitions and synthesis between non-capitalist and capitalist forms of labour surplus appropriation at the level of individual capitalists, despite some uniformity in the general logic of capital and the spread of capitalist relations of production and exchange. The paper also discusses the methodological power and limitations of oral narratives as a method to gather evidence on long-term processes of agrarian change and accumulation in rural Africa. Finally, the life histories shed some light on the origins of rural capitalists and show that there is a combination of instances of ‘capitalism from above’ and ‘from below’ but that no dominant pattern can be clearly discerned at least in the space of one or two generations.

  • The Long-Term Effects of Africa's Slave Trades
    THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF AFRICA’S SLAVE TRADES* NATHAN NUNN Can part of Africa’s current underdevelopment be explained by its slave trades? To explore this question, I use data from shipping records and histori- cal documents reporting slave ethnicities to construct estimates of the number of slaves exported from each country during Africa’s slave trades. I find a robust negative relationship between the number of slaves exported from a country and current economic performance. To better understand if the relationship is causal, I examine the historical evidence on selection into the slave trades and use in- strumental variables. Together the evidence suggests that the slave trades had an adverse effect on economic development. I. INTRODUCTION Africa’s economic performance in the second half of the twen- tieth century has been poor. One, often informal, explanation for Africa’s underdevelopment is its history of extraction, character- ized by two events: the slave trades and colonialism. Bairoch (1993, p. 8) writes that “there is no doubt that a large number of negative structural features of the process of economic under- development have historical roots going back to European col- onization.” Manning (1990, p. 124) echoes Bairoch but focuses on the slave trades, writing, “Slavery was corruption: it involved theft, bribery, and exercise of brute force as well as ruses. Slavery thus may be seen as one source of precolonial origins for modern corruption.” Recent empirical studies suggest that Africa’s history can explain part of its current underdevelopment. These studies fo- cus on the link between countries’ colonial experience and cur- rent economic development (Grier 1999; Englebert 2000a, 2000b; * A previous version of this paper was circulated under the title “Slavery, Insti- tutional Development, and Long-Run Growth in Africa.” I am grateful to the editor, Edward Glaeser, and three anonymous referees for comments that substantially improved this paper.

    Wangari Muta Maathai 1940–2011 A Memorial Ceremony We will miss her. We will celebrate her. We will emulate her. We will never forget her. She will continue to live in all that is green, that is life, that is true. Monday November 14 2011 at 4:30 pm The Ceremony Welcome The Very Reverend Dr. James A. Kowalski: Dean, Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine Opening Wangari Maathai with Paul Winter For me, I have learned to be inspired by wherever I am, whatever I am doing. It may be music that I am listening to; and it gives me inspiration. Church for me is a very frequent place that I go, usually when they are empty, and I just sit by myself, and reflect. And I usually will reflect on the fact that this is a house where so many people come to seek for solutions for many problems, for solace, for advice, and sometimes I come out of there at peace with myself, especially if I had gone in there because I was feeling unstable, disappointed, down. I will come out, really motivated. Reading Fr. Thomas Berry, “The New Story,” from Dream of the Earth; Read by Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-founder, Forum on Religion and Ecology If the dynamics of the universe from the beginning shaped the course of the heavens, lighted the sun, and formed the earth, if this same dynamism brought forth the continents and seas and atmosphere, if it awakened life in the primordial cell and then brought into being the unnumbered variety of living beings, and finally brought us into being and guided us safely through the turbulent centuries, there is reason to believe that this same guiding process is precisely what has awakened in us our present understanding of ourselves and our relation to this stupendous process.
