I am delighted to announce the results of the 2009 elections: the Vice President elect is Judith Byﬁ eld (History, Cornell U). The Board members elect are Teresa Barnes History, U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Catherine Boone (Political Science/Government, U of Texas at Austin), and Richard Schroeder (Geography, Rutgers U). The Board extends its sincerest appreciation to the ASA members who cast their votes and to all the candidates for their willingness to serve the Association. The new election calendar concludes in the spring rather than in the fall and will assist the Nominating Committee in achieving ever greater diversity in identifying individuals whose commitment, energy, and ideas will shape the Association’s strategy and future.

The ASA community, from the academy, from government, and from non-governmental organizations, is the raison d’être for the Association’s mission of bringing together people with a scholarly and professional interest in Africa. This vibrant community of Africanists convenes via the website, via the Association’s journals, and via the Annual Meeting - dynamic venues that serve as clearinghouses for expertise about Africa: online, in print, and in person.

I hope you will continue to explore the website’s many new features and become increasingly comfortable with using it as a tool to engage with the Association and the Africanist community year-round, i.e., to network using the ASA Directory, which is available to members only, and to collaborate in the available myASA fora. In addition to virtual interaction, contribute to evolving discussions in the African Studies Review, which is a member beneﬁ t, and in the subscription journal, History in Africa. Interact with colleagues in person by participating in the Annual Meeting, at a discounted rate for ASA members. At the Annual Meeting, you will learn about ASA highlights during the Business Meeting, celebrate excellence in the ﬁ eld during the Presidential Lecture and Awards Ceremony, and bring your comments, compliments, and concerns to the ASA Town Hall. Avail yourself of these opportunities within the Association to strengthen your individual professional endeavors, while simultaneously advancing the ASA’s goal of promoting African studies.

The ASA’s ﬁ ftieth anniversary celebrations, focusing ﬁ rst on “21st Century Africa: Evolving Conceptions of Human Rights” in New York, NY in 2007, then on “Knowledge of Africa: The Next Fifty Years,” in Chicago, IL, in 2008, helped to lay a solid scholarly and professional foundation for “Africa at a Crossroads,” the theme of this year’s Annual Meeting, which will be held November 19-22 in New Orleans, LA. The preliminary program will be available on the ASA website in July; visit www.africanstudies.org for updated travel, hotel, and other information.

The ASA recently has added new member benefi ts and services that are specifi cally aimed at helping you to engage in research, teaching, and professional work more effectively. ASA members who wish to duplicate and distribute articles published in any ASA journal for their own courses may do so without seeking permission from the ASA; please remember to cite the details of publication in the specifi c journal by author, title, volume, number, date, and inclusive pagination. Coordinate organizations now have a clear link on the ASA’s home page and may use the community function to reach all their members with announcements, news, and other correspondence. Coordinate Organization offi cers are invited to meet with Board members during the Annual Meeting to share ideas and to discuss future collaboration. We’re excited to provide these new benefi ts to ASA members.

Mutual support is especially important in times of economic challenge – for individuals and for the ASA community to which we belong. The ASA budget relies almost entirely on revenue from membership dues, Annual Meeting registration and exhibit booth fees, advertising, and the sale of ASA publications. The Board passed a balanced budget for 2009 and we are aggressively monitoring expenses. But we need revenue to ensure that the Association emerges whole, despite the difﬁ cult economy. We need to pursue an active campaign of “Each One Reach One.” Renew your own membership if you have not already done so, then immediately contact at least one colleague, center, institute, or organization and urge them to become an individual member or an institutional subscriber. Urge them to attend the Annual Meeting. Urge them to participate in the ASA Exhibit Hall, with a commercial or charitable booth(s), or as part of the Combined Book Exhibit at the ASA booth. Urge them to place an ad in an ASA publication or to purchase the ASA mailing list to announce new books, ﬁ lms, openings, and other events. And, “Give or Get” support for the ASA endowment, secure in the knowledge that every contribution is important and every donation counts. Now, more than ever, let us work together to sustain the Association’s operations and programs. Thank you! 2 ASA NEWS ~ July 2009 New ASA Members

4 ASA NEWS ~ July 2009 In Memoriam

Philip D Curtin Glen Elder John Hope Franklin Gerti Hesseling

Obituaries

John Francis Marchmant Middleton

It has been with great sadness that friends and colleagues of John Middleton received the news of his death in New Haven, Connecticut, on 27 February 2009. Paraphrasing Swahili wisdom, as cited by Parker Shipton, “The tree has fallen far away, but the branches have reached us all here.”

John was born near London, but for 10 years worked regularly on a family sheep farm in central England which he believed may have sparked his early interest in land tenure. He attended, a “good” though not prestigious boys’ school and earned a Latin scholarship to go on to University College London, where he majored in English. During World War II he was evacuated to Aberystwyth in Wales. There he met anthropologist Daryll Forde. In 1941 John was drafted, sent to Africa, learned Swahili and taught in the East African Education Corps. He saw much of Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika, Madagascar, Mauritius -- valuable to his future in anthropology.

In 1946 John returned to UCL to do a BSc in the new Anthropology Department under Daryll Forde. He then went to Oxford to study fi rst with Max Gluckman and then E.E. Evans-Pritchard, who became his advisor. John’s Oxford cohort included Mary Douglas, Clyde Mitchell, Laura and Paul Bohannans, Elizabeth Colson, Ioan Lewis. He carried out his doctoral research among the Lugbara in northwest Uganda. The most lasting sensibility that he gained on that fi rst fi eld trip was that one can only learn what the people want you to know – that learning is a joint project. Thus he came to understand the peoples’ concerns as local politics as his initial interest in land tenure gave way to the Lugbara’s in myth and ritual.

A product of the founding generation of British social anthropologists working in Africa, John went on to teach and mentor succeeding generations. After receiving his doctorate in 1953 he taught brieﬂ y at Birkbeck College, the University of Cape Town, and Rhodes University, before settling back into University College London, with Mary Douglas, Phyllis Kaberry, and other contemporaries of similar renown. During this period he also did research on land tenure in Zanzibar.

John spent time teaching in the United States, a Visiting Professor at the University of Virginia and University of Oregon, then to Northwestern in 1963 as Professor of Anthropology until 1966. In 1966, he was invited to establish a new program in Anthropology at New York University. Then in 1972 he returned to London as a professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies; he was made director of the International African Institute and editor of Africa. Attracted by the openness and vibrancy of African studies and anthropology in the United States, in 1981 John joined the Department of Anthropology at Yale University. He secured Yale’s fi rst US Department of Education Title VI African studies center award, established Yale’s MA program in African studies and strengthened its Program in African Languages. John recruited international students to Yale and worked tirelessly to secure support for them. He was also most generous in support for junior colleagues and students. His research during this period resulted in the publication of The World of the Swahili: An African Mercantile Civilization, the most cited work in Swahili studies, in 1992. Caught in the time-trap of a brief (and ultimately unconstitutional) mandatory retirement age of 70 for university faculty, he became a reluctant emeritus in 1991. But he never stopped teaching, spending time at Frankfurt, Mainz, Bristol, Durban, and Yale’s Council on African Studies, or publishing: he continued writing on the Swahili and drawing skillfully on the vast network of colleagues and friends whom he had assembled over more than fi fty years in the fi eld, he edited the four-volume Encyclopedia of Africa South of the Sahara (Scribners, 1997), and, with Joseph Miller, a fi ve volume second edition in 2007. And he supported his friends and colleagues in their endeavors.

5 ASA NEWS ~ July 2009 A Fellow of the Royal Anthroplogical Institute, the Royal Asiatic Society, the International African Institute, and the American Anthropological Association, John was named Distinguished Africanist in 2007 by the African Studies Association. His research – more than 130 published works – centered on Swahili society and culture but ranged over several theoretical ﬁ elds of anthropology. These writings, and his students, remain as the legacy of a ﬁ ne man and a maker of modern African studies. He leaves his wife, Michelle Gilbert, of Guilford CT, his daughter Jane Harper, granddaughter Dede, and two sisters, Ursula Clissold and Fenella Wiersma-Middleton.

Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellowships

The Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program at the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) invites applications for fellowships in 2010–2011. Named in honor of NED’s principal founders, former US president Ronald Reagan and the late US congressman Dante Fascell, the program enables democracy activists, scholars, and journalists from around the world to deepen their understanding of democracy and enhance their ability to promote democratic change.

Program Based at the International Forum for Democratic Studies, the research arm of the NED in Washington, DC, the program offers fellowships for practitioners to improve strategies and techniques for building democracy abroad and for scholars to conduct original research for publication. Fellows are in residence at the Forum and work full-time on their fellowship projects, which focus on the political, social, economic, legal, and cultural aspects of democratic development and include a range of methodologies and approaches. Fellows make a presentation of their work and prepare a written product during their stay. The program organizes an active calendar of events for fellows, including an introduction to the NED and its partner institutions, roundtables, and seminars with leading democracy experts.

Eligibility The fellows program is intended to support practitioners and scholars from developing and aspiring democracies. Distinguished scholars from the US and other established democracies are also eligible to apply. Practitioners may include activists, lawyers, journalists, and civil society professionals, and are expected to have substantial experience working to promote democracy. Scholars may include professors, research analysts, and other writers, and are expected to have a PhD or academic equivalent at the time of application. The program does not pay for professional training or fund students working toward a degree. A working knowledge of English is a prerequisite for participation in the program.

Support All fellows receive a monthly stipend, health insurance, travel assistance, and research support through the Forum’s Democracy Resource Center and the Reagan-Fascell Research Associates Program.

Dates The program hosts two ﬁ ve-month sessions per fellowships year. The fall session will be held 18 ASA NEWS ~ July 2009 October 1, 2010 through February 28, 2011; the spring session will be held March 1 through July 31, 2011.

Application For further details, including online application instructions, please visit www.ned.org/forum/ reagan-fascell.html. Application materials must be in English.

Scholar Rescue Fund Fellowships

Professors, established researchers and other senior academics from any country, fi eld or discipline may qualify. Applications are reviewed for academic qualifi cations, the quality/potential of the candidate’s work, and the urgency of threats faced. Applications from female scholars and scholars who are members of ethnic, racial, cultural or religious minority groups, or those otherwise underrepresented in their fi eld, are encouraged.

Fellowships are approved by the SRF Selection Committee which convenes at least three (3) times per year. Awards are issued for up to US $25,000, plus health insurance. The ﬁ nal fellowship award is dependent upon the location of the host institution, the cost of living, and the value of any additional contributions from the host institution or other source. Host academic institutions agree to accept the fellowship funds and disburse the funds to the scholar. In most cases, host institutions are required to match the SRF fellowship award through partial salary/stipend support, research materials, and other in-kind assistance.

Deadlines Applications and nominations are accepted at any time throughout the year, on a rolling basis. Applications will be considered by the SRF Selection Committee at least three (3) times per year, generally in January, April, and October. Non-emergency applications must be received at least 4 weeks before a committee meeting in order to be considered. Decisions will be announced approximately two (2) weeks after each Selection Committee meeting.

Emergency Applications Emergency applications will be considered earlier if a candidate’s circumstances do not permit waiting for the next scheduled meeting of the Selection Committee.

Application Instructions Application materials must be in English or in the language of the proposed host institution/ country. A complete application package may be submitted by e-mail (preferred), fax or postal mail.
