Barack Obama and the African Idea: Topology, Tropology, and Stasis in Spatial Counter Narratives BARACK OBAMA AND THE AFRICAN IDEA: TOPOLOGY, TROPOLOGY, AND STASIS IN SPATIAL COUNTER NARRATIVES By © 2012 KUNDAI VICTOR CHIRINDO Submitted to the graduate degree program in Communication Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Dr. Dave Tell, Committee Chairperson ________________________________ Dr. Liz Macgonagle ________________________________ Dr. Donn W. Parson ________________________________ Dr. Dorthy Pennington ________________________________ Dr. Robert C. Rowland Date Defended: August 29, 2012 ii The Dissertation Committee for Kundai V. Chirindo certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: BARACK OBAMA AND THE AFRICAN IDEA: TOPOLOGY, TROPOLOGY, AND STASIS IN SPATIAL COUNTER NARRATIVES ________________________________ Dr. Dave Tell, Committee Chairperson Date approved: September 4, 2012 iii ABSTRACT There is no region of world outside of the United States where Obama’s meteoric rise generated as much excitement as in Africa. It is also uncontroversial to assert that Obama’s rhetorical skill was a major factor behind his success. Yet surprisingly little work has been done on the intersection of Obama’s discourse and its effect on Africa. This study endeavors to fill this gap in the scholarship on Obama. Drawing on the tools of rhetoric—theories about topology, tropology and stasis, this dissertation traces the visions of Africa implicit in Obama’s rhetoric and politics. The study analyzes Obama’s ideas of Africa in three stages of his political career; before he was a national figure, during his campaigns, and in his Africa policy after he became president. In short, I argue that the ideas of Africa conveyed in the discourse of Obama challenge conventional wisdom on the continent’s significance in global affairs. While demonstrating Obama’s visions of Africa, the study also demonstrates the utility of rhetorical theories in both domestic politics and international relations. There are three findings that emerge from this study. First, is the finding that Obama does not subscribe to other people’s ideas about the continent. He developed his own understanding of the continent from his experiences. Second, Obama believes that the wellbeing of Africans is fundamentally connected to American politics. Finally, Obama understands African countries’ relationships with the United States outside of the narrow realism of war on which virtually all of his presidential predecessors have relied in their dealings with African nations in the past. In that regard, the study shows that Obama’s discourse about the continent marks significant a break in the history of U.S.-Africa relations. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Chara chimwe hachitswanye inda (Shona proverb meaning “You cannot crush a louse with only one thumb”) They say it takes a village to raise a child. My experience has taught me that it takes a lot more than a village to educate a man. For that reason, I am grateful to too many people to list in this space. The following are the few without whose support I could not have finished this project. First and foremost is Dave, my advisor, mentor, friend, and fellow coffee shop enthusiast. Thank you for indulging and encouraging me even when my ideas were utterly incomprehensible. My committee members have molded my intellectual growth in more ways than I can explain. Dr. Parson taught me every Burkean thing I know and was a reliable source of many cautions that kept me from making a fool out of myself at the University of Kansas. I could not ask for a better model for commitment to the study of the rhetorical practices of the African diaspora and a more creative intellectual mind than Dr. Pennington. Dr. Rowland, your classes always stretched my thinking, and working for you made me a better teacher. Dr. MacGonagle your commitment to carrying out a research program on African identities is a standard I hope to one day emulate. I thank my family, Mom, Celia and Rod “Pops” Heckathorn, Lani, Nobu, and Larry, for believing what I do is worthwhile even when they didn’t care to hear my long rants. I also have friends who have been unbelievably loyal through the years. In the U.S.A.; Bradley Drake, Justin Fogel, James and Melissa Williams, Nick and Leslie Nepveux, Ben Warner, Astrid Villamil, Ryan Shepard, and Nati Mabachi. There are those I grew up with who continue to lavish their support on me from across the Zimbabwean diaspora; Bothwell Muviiwa, Harold Dendamera, Joe Chitiga, James Kambudzi, Markie Jakachi, Rumbi Nhare, and Nyasha Mukoyi. Ndimi mega vadikani. 5 The Communication Studies departments at Bethel University and KU took me in and nurtured whatever academic capabilities I have today. Without them I would not be. I am grateful to Drs Andrew Gess and Leta Frazer at Bethel for making the study of communication and rhetoric too enticing for me to ignore. Suzanne Grachek and John Fackler have been instrumental in helping me navigate the intricacies of an academic department. Last, but by no means least, to Brenda, my wife, friend, and longsuffering supporter, I look forward to having our evenings together back again. I love you. 6 ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................................................ iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................................................ 4 CHAPTER I: Charting Obama’s African Visions ......................................................................................... 7 Literature Review ......................................................................................................................................................... 12 Obama and the rhetorical tradition ....................................................................................................................... 12 Africa: the Strange Absence ................................................................................................................................... 15 Methodology ................................................................................................................................................................. 17 Plan of the study ........................................................................................................................................................... 19 Chapter two .............................................................................................................................................................. 19 Chapter three ............................................................................................................................................................ 22 Chapter four ............................................................................................................................................................. 24 Chapter five .............................................................................................................................................................. 26 CHAPTER II: Obama and the African Heterotopia ................................................................................. 29 Covering the Senator’s “homecoming” ............................................................................................................... 36 Toward heterotopic rhetorics ................................................................................................................................ 40 Dreaming of Africa ................................................................................................................................................. 44 Conclusion ................................................................................................................................................................ 54 CHAPTER III: African Visions and the Tropology of campaign rhetoric ............................................ 58 Tropology, Epistemology, and Africa in the 2008 Campaign .......................................................................... 61 Birthers and the African Metonymy ..................................................................................................................... 64 Obama’s African Visions ........................................................................................................................................ 76 Conclusion ................................................................................................................................................................ 84 CHAPTER IV: Africa in American Wars .................................................................................................... 87 Stasis and Foreign Relations .................................................................................................................................. 89 A Brief History of U.S.-Africa relations ............................................................................................................... 90 Africa in George W.

Alan Kronstadt Specialist in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Pakistan-U.S. Relations Summary A stable, democratic, economically thriving Pakistan is considered vital to U.S. interests. U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include regional terrorism; Pakistan- Afghanistan relations; weapons proliferation; the ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India tensions; human rights protection; and economic development. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials regularly praise Islamabad for its ongoing cooperation, although doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Since late 2003, Pakistan’s army has been conducting unprecedented counterterrorism operations in the country’s western tribal areas. Separatist violence in India’s Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir state has continued unabated since 1989, with some notable relative decline in recent years. India has blamed Pakistan for the infiltration of Islamic militants into Indian Kashmir, a charge Islamabad denies. The United States reportedly has received pledges from Islamabad that all “cross-border terrorism” would cease and that any terrorist facilities in Pakistani-controlled areas would be closed. Similar pledges have been made to India.

  • The Annals of Iowa for Their Critiques
    The Annals of Volume 66, Numbers 3 & 4 Iowa Summer/Fall 2007 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue J. L. ANDERSON analyzes the letters written between Civil War soldiers and their farm wives on the home front. In those letters, absent husbands provided advice, but the wives became managers and diplomats who negotiated relationships with kin and neighbors to provision and shelter their families and to preserve their farms. J. L. Anderson is assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. DAVID BRODNAX SR. provides the first detailed description of the role of Iowa’s African American regiment, the 60th United States Colored Infantry, in the American Civil War and in the struggle for black suffrage after the war. David Brodnax Sr. is associate professor of history at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. TIMOTHY B. SMITH describes David B. Henderson’s role in securing legislation to preserve Civil War battlefields during the golden age of battlefield preservation in the 1890s. Timothy B. Smith, a veteran of the National Park Service, now teaches at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Front Cover Milton Howard (seated, left) was born in Muscatine County in 1845, kidnapped along with his family in 1852, and sold into slavery in the South. After escaping from his Alabama master during the Civil War, he made his way north and later fought for three years in the 60th U.S. Colored Infantry. For more on Iowa’s African American regiment in the Civil War, see David Brodnax Sr.’s article in this issue.

I hope that energy takes you out on the trails to let the crisp clean air and the muffled silence of winter renew your spirits in the New Year. As you head out, have some fun looking for a few points of interest you may not have noticed in your wanderings. Seek out the mural honoring the Gandy Dancers, workers who historically maintained the original railroad tracks for the Soo Line. The stone bridge on Brown’s Creek Trail was constructed in the 1860s as part of a military road for troops heading off to serve in the Civil War. The 45th parallel, marking the halfway point between the North Pole and the Equator, crosses the trail near Flicek Park in Maplewood, connecting you at that moment to cities in France, Croatia, Mongolia and Japan, before circling back to the States through Oregon.

    SOMETIMES IT TAKES A SCHOOL TO RAISE THE VILLAGE: STAKEHOLDERS’ STUDENT ASSIGNMENT PERSPECTIVES IN A SHIFTING POLICY LANDSCAPE by ANDREA PINTAONE NEHER (Under the Direction of JoBeth Allen) ABSTRACT This study examined the discourses used by stakeholders, including parents, teachers, school administrators, and district leaders as they described their perspectives on and experiences with issues related to student assignment policy including school closures, school choice options, and parent engagement. This qualitative interview study of parents’, teachers’, administrators’, and district stakeholders’ perspectives on student assignment policy impacts in a district with a recent unitary status declaration used Foucault’s (1978, 1984, 1990) notions of power and discourse as lenses for examining neoliberal discourses used by participants. It sheds light on what is known about the experiences and perspectives of these insiders, with the goal of enhancing community involvement, and ultimately, educational experiences and opportunities, in both student assignment policy planning in the aftermath of unitary status declarations.

  • Former First Lady Hillary Clinton's Book, It Takes a Village
    Quarter 2014 Quarter nd 2 Former First Lady Hillary Clinton’s book, It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us, was published in 1996. It presented her vision of the future for children of the United States. She wrote about the impact that individuals and outside groups can have on children and if that influence was for the better or worse. Clinton very much supports the idea that “it takes a village to raise a child.” I thought of that saying recently as individuals and organizations of all different kinds assembled at the IRC’s Wildlife Hospital to meet the needs and secure the future of a fellow creature, a raptor, known as the Osprey. When you hear the word “osprey” you may think of the Osprey backpack for hikers, the Boeing V-22 Osprey that serves as a helicopter/airplane hybrid, the Missoula, Montana minor league baseball team, or a tactical rifle scope company – that are all named Osprey! But the original Osprey is one of a kind. There are no look-alikes or hybrids when it comes to this bird. The Osprey is a magnificent fish-eating hawk sometimes weighing up to 4 pounds with a 6 ft. wingspan. The first time I saw an Osprey in the wild was at Sam Parr State Park in southern Illinois just before Jacques and I were to present a program. We were at the end of a dock overlooking the lake when we both saw something very large plunge into the water. I will never forget those large wings coming up and out of the water as if in slow motion.
