  • Lee Bowyer Talks Leeds United, with Jon Howe
    Y PHONE RINGS at 10.42am. It’s Lee Bowyer. Of course. He immediately apologises for not answering when I rang at the pre-arranged time of 9.30am; when he dropped his two six- year-old kids off at school he realised he had to attend a Harvest Festival assembly. I gave a knowing laugh, having been caught short in the same situation on the school run a few times. And here I was, swapping stories with Lee Bowyer on the humdrum trials of being a parent to young kids. Two normal blokes with normal concerns. We were aligned in the everyday travails of life’s rich tapestry, and yet fifteen years ago Lee Bowyer was my favourite Leeds United player. In fact, he was my ‘last’ favourite Leeds United player. After Lee Bowyer left Leeds United in 2003, the Catchinghi emotional strain of putting all my faith in one player seemed futile. Plus, well, you’ve watched Leeds United over the last decade, haven’t you? The enduring and relentless echo of ‘L’Bowya, L’Bowya’ around Elland Road has left more of up with the a lasting impression than the same chant for the perhaps more exalted Tony Yeboah. Purely because it was in our songbook for longer. Not simply out of habit, but as a result of performance; for years, every game, without fail. He was that good. In 2015, can you imagine Running such a thing? Lee Bowyer has endured a lifetime of not being able to fully explain himself. I initially approached him to write his autobiography.

  • Popular Expressions of Southern African Nationalism(S): Convergences, Divergences, and Reconciliations in South Africa and Zimbabwe
    POPULAR EXPRESSIONS OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN NATIONALISM(S): CONVERGENCES, DIVERGENCES, AND RECONCILIATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE By Blessing Shingirirai Mavima A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of African American and African Studies – Doctor of Philosophy 2019 ABSTRACT POPULAR EXPRESSIONS OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN NATIONALISM(S): CONVERGENCES, DIVERGENCES, AND RECONCILIATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE By Blessing Shingirirai Mavima Popular Expressions of Pan-Africanism and Southern African Nationalism(s): Convergences, Divergences, and Reconciliations in South Africa and Zimbabwe is a dissertation study that traces the transformations, reveals the tensions, and critically analyzes diverging and converging trajectories of different manifestations of African nationalism, including ethnic nationalism, state nationalism, and Pan-Africanism using contemporary South Africa and Zimbabwe as sites of analyses. Focusing on the metropolitan provinces of Gauteng and Harare respectively, I use the study to interrogate how popular expressions of African nationalism have emerged and evolved in the neighboring nations during their anti-colonial/anti-apartheid struggles throughout the 20 th century, and how they exist today. Presenting a thesis that I call nationalisms from below, the research study reveals how these manifestations of nationalism are imagined, practiced, and represente d by the initiatives and actions of different members of the civil society including artists, activists, laborers, and migrants in the two countries’ contemporary politics and society. My findings lead to a nuanced determination of the factors that influence the intersections, divergences, and convergences of what I refer to in the study as Africa’s tripartite nationalist expressions and identities—ethnicism, African Nationalism, and Pan- Africanism.

This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensiveness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the political, cultural, anthropological, ethnographic, social, economic, geographical and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education. Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.
