Comrade Ngxale wrote as follows to Frank Talk on 7 July 1985 about the AZAPO-UDF clashes: "The gravity of the situation cannot be recorded with a pencil but can only be understood when you live in constant fear of being executed. It can only be understood when one takes into account the loss of life and property accompanying the feud. What is left for you and I is to make the sacrifices of all those who paid the supreme price to see AZAPO surviving worthwhile." "DEATH TO THE NATIONAL CONFUSION MOVEMENT!!! On 5 August 1986, Comrade Ngxale joined the ranks of those who paid that supreme price. While the circumstances of his death are a mad commentary on our imperial times, in his death he bequeaths a legacy to the living: we should never do to ourselves what the enemy would do to us.

FRANK TALK VOLUME 3 LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER 26 August 1989 Frank Talk has not appeared since September 1987 inter alia due to severe media restrictions, lack of financial support and lack of co-operation from numerous contributors. This publication, bumper issue though it is, has only been made financially feasible by our comrades in the Fingerprint Co-operative. It is because of the very real problems that Frank Talk has experienced that the EC has agonized on the frequency of the publication and has decided to publish annually. We are quite sure that, after reading this issue of Frank Talk, you will agree that the publication is worth the wait! The EC has been gratified by the tremendous response to the last issue in the form of letters to our "Frankly Speaking" column. Keep those letters rolling in - we enjoy the feedback! The response to our request for financial aid was less than overwhelming. Comrades, we depend on you to keep the publication alive: we believe that you agree that it is worth keeping alive. Flowing from the last Letter we wrote to you (12 September 1987), we wish to report that Comrade Patrick Moodly, our Resources Director, succeeded in his claim for damages against Vlok as a result of his unlawful arrest and detention. Our argument for the unbanning of Azanian Focus Volume 1 Number 5 was less successful, however: it was rejected by the Publications Appeal Board. We are writing to you on Namibia Day, a day commemorated by Namibians ever since the burial of Chief Samuel Maharero - who led the Herero people during the Battle of Hamakari against the German colonialists - on 26 August 1923. By sheer historical coicidence, the first armed encounter between SWAPO and the South African colonialists took place at Omgulumbashe on Namibia Day 1966. On 30 January 1976 (Resolution 385) and 29 September 1978 (Resolution 435), the UN adopted a neo-colonial recipe for the "resolution" of the Namibian problem. This was amplified by the "Principles concerning the Constituent Assembly and the Constitution of an Independent Namibia" adopted on 12 July 1982 and the "Agreement on the Electoral System" adopted on 29 November 1985. The 1982 agreement provides that "the primary responsibility for maintaining law and order in Namibia during the transition period shall rest with the existing police forces." The Resolutions and agreements are notoriously silent about the murderous SWATF and Koevoet forces, the status of Walvis Bay and South Africa's economic domination of Namibia. In early 1981 a secret meeting was held between US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Dr Chester Crocker and South Africa's foreign minister, Pik Botha together with its defence minister, Magnus Malan. A US government "Memorandum of Conversation" was leaked to an anti-apartheid organisation a short while later. It reads: "Top US priority is to stop Soviet encroachment in Africa. US wants to work with SAG (South African Government), but ability to deal with Soviet presence severely impeded by Namibia..." "Crocker addressed Botha's fears and concerns by first accepting the premise that Soviet domination is the danger. But US believes best way to avoid that danger is to get Namibia issue behind us. As long as issue subsists, we cannot reach a situation where US can engage with South Africa in security framework. If Namibia continues, it will open south/central Africa to the Soviets. Simmering conflict in Namibia is not acceptable. The ideas US has in mind don't include Soviets in Windhoek. We believe we can get the Soviets out of Angola, and provide a guarantee of security whether Nujoma wins or not." Between October 1987 and June 1988, Africa witnessed the fiercest conventional battles fought on her soil since Erwin Rommel was defeated at El Amien. During August 1987, MPLA forces launched a major assault against the city of Mavinga, a UNITA stronghold. Only a massive intervention by SADF saved UNITA. The MPLA forces retreated to Cuito Cuanavale. When SADF and UNITA launched a major assault on Cuito, Cuban forces intervened to save the MPLA from defeat. The attack on Cuito Cuanavale developed into a long siege. But SADF lost the battle and, for the first time ever, reported large numbers of casualties among its white troops. SADF was in such a desperate position that State President P W Botha had to fly to the war zone when its operational command broke down. The mystique of white superiority, interwoven as it is with South Africa's fetishism with weapons, received a crushing contemporary defeat. In May 1988 a Soviet diplomat stationed in Angola said "We want to clean house.

    Ali 1 Musical Imaginary, Identity and Representation: The Case of Gentleman the German Reggae Luminary A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with distinction in Comparative Studies in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Raghe Ali April 2013 The Ohio State University Project Advisors Professor Barry Shank, Department of Comparative Studies Professor Theresa Delgadillo, Department of Comparative Studies Ali 2 In 2003 a German reggae artist named Gentleman was scheduled to perform at the Jamworld Entertainment Center in the south eastern parish of St Catherine, Jamaica. The performance was held at the Sting Festival an annual reggae event that dates back some twenty years. Considered the world’s largest one day reggae festival, the event annually boasts an electric atmosphere full of star studded lineups and throngs of hardcore fans. The concert is also notorious for the aggressive DJ clashes1 and violent incidents that occur. The event was Gentleman’s debut performance before a Jamaican audience. Considered a relatively new artist, Gentleman was not the headlining act and was slotted to perform after a number of familiar artists who had already “hyped” the audience with popular dancehall2 reggae hits. When his turn came he performed a classical roots 3reggae song “Dem Gone” from his 2002 Journey to Jah album. Unhappy with his performance the crowd booed and jeered at him. He did not respond to the heckling and continued performing despite the audience vocal objections. Empty beer bottles and trash were thrown onstage. Finally, unable to withstand the wrath and hostility of the audience he left the stage.

  • Chant Down Babylon: the Rastafarian Movement and Its Theodicy for the Suffering
    Verge 5 Blatter 1 Chant Down Babylon: the Rastafarian Movement and Its Theodicy for the Suffering Emily Blatter The Rastafarian movement was born out of the Jamaican ghettos, where the descendents of slaves have continued to suffer from concentrated poverty, high unemployment, violent crime, and scarce opportunities for upward mobility. From its conception, the Rastafarian faith has provided hope to the disenfranchised, strengthening displaced Africans with the promise that Jah Rastafari is watching over them and that they will someday find relief in the promised land of Africa. In The Sacred Canopy , Peter Berger offers a sociological perspective on religion. Berger defines theodicy as an explanation for evil through religious legitimations and a way to maintain society by providing explanations for prevailing social inequalities. Berger explains that there exist both theodicies of happiness and theodicies of suffering. Certainly, the Rastafarian faith has provided a theodicy of suffering, providing followers with religious meaning in social inequality. Yet the Rastafarian faith challenges Berger’s notion of theodicy. Berger argues that theodicy is a form of society maintenance because it allows people to justify the existence of social evils rather than working to end them. The Rastafarian theodicy of suffering is unique in that it defies mainstream society; indeed, sociologist Charles Reavis Price labels the movement antisystemic, meaning that it confronts certain aspects of mainstream society and that it poses an alternative vision for society (9). The Rastas believe that the white man has constructed and legitimated a society that is oppressive to the black man. They call this society Babylon, and Rastas make every attempt to defy Babylon by refusing to live by the oppressors’ rules; hence, they wear their hair in dreads, smoke marijuana, and adhere to Marcus Garvey’s Ethiopianism.

  • Realities of Social-Imperialism Versus Dogmas of Cynical Realism: the Dynamics of the Soviet Capital Formation by Raymond Lotta
    Realities of Social-Imperialism Versus Dogmas of Cynical Realism: The Dynamics of the Soviet Capital Formation by Raymond Lotta I would like to begin my presentation by reading two short poems which I think capture some of what is at stake in this debate and which tell us something about the reversal of socialism in the Soviet Union. They were gathered by Vera Dunham in a recent sur• vey of Soviet literature. The first was written in 1917 by Vladimir Kirillov and is entitled "We": We are the countless, awesome legions of Labor. We have conquered the spaces of ocean and land, With the light of artificial suns we have lit up the cities, Our proud souls burn with the fire of revolt. We are possessed by turbulent, intoxicating passion, Let them shout at us: "you are the executioners of beauty!" In the name of our tomorrow we shall burn Raphael, Destroy museums, trample the flowers of art. Now in 1974 the prestigious Moscow literary anthology, The Day of Poetry, dedicated an entire section to labor by inviting worker-poets to make contributions. The poems were of a decidedly different cast. For instance, the poem T Fear To Be Without Trade": 37 38 I fear to be without trade — Not to know how To cut fabric or sew, To stack hay, To handle a chisel, Or to forge. Not to know how to do anything Is like having no soul.1 This poem is built around the verb umet which means "to know how." It's very telling because we are dealing with a society which puts a premium on professionalization and proficiency, which rein• forces the quest for status with a deadening technocraticism.

  • 2001 Lecture
    THE JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 2001 RECONCILING OPPOSITES: REFLECTIONS ON PEACEMAKING IN SOUTH AFRICA Hendrik W van der Merwe The James Backhouse Lectures The lectures were instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) on the its establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. James Backhouse and his companion, George Washington Walker were English Friends who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. They travelled widely, but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. Coming to Australia under a concern for the conditions of convicts, the two men had access to people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in Britain, both in Parliament and in the social reform movement. In meticulous reports and personal letters, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on the rum trade, and on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines. James Backhouse was a general naturalist and a botanist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends in the colonies and following the deep concern that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of Lectures will bring fresh insights into the Truth, and speak to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism. This particular lecture was delivered in Melbourne on 8 January 2001, during the annual meeting of the Society.

    Document No. NS-30 International Seminar on The Role of Transnational Corporations in Namibia Sheraton Washington Hotel Washington, DC November 29- December 2, 1982 Shadows of the Past: The Consequences of Colonisation and German Colonial Rule in Namibia by: Henning Melber Federal Republic of Germany Organized by the American Committee on Africa 198 Broadway New York, NY 10038 (212) 962-1210 with the support of the United Nations Council for Namibia Uncorrected manuscript August 1932 Henning Melber Shadows of the Past: The Consecuences of Colonisation and German Colonial Rule for Namibia Because of geographical and climatic features, Namibia has been free of outside influences for quite a long time. Only when the "scramble for Africa" already reached its final stage, the territory became an interesting object for the adventurers and colonial enthusiasts, who, in the name of European "civili zation" invaded the country's interior. The Namib desert along the Atlantic coast, until this time in the 19th century an effective natural shelter, could then not any longer protect the land and people inside effectively. After the first concerted efforts of Europeans to settle on a permanent basis, the character and organisation of the economic and social structures within the country underwent basic changes, which corresponded to the establishment of a colonial-capitalist settler-society. Henceforth, Namibia became organised as a white man's country. The first impacts to this development lie far back in the early stages of Namibian colonial history, more than hundred years ago. Their consequences are nevertheless of more than historic interest and still relevant for an analysis and understanding of the present situation, the organisation of the still valid (though modified) colonial system and the national liberation struggle against this system with its present features.

    THE BIOCULTURAL IMPACT OF ETHNIC HEALTH AND BEAUTY PRODUCT CONSUMPTION AMONG SOUTH FLORIDA JAMAICAN WOMEN By BRITTANY MONIQUE OSBOURNE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 © 2015 Brittany Monique Osbourne To my ancestors and parents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The following dissertation evolved over the course of five years with the help of many people. I would first like to pay honor and respect to my spiritual compass, my creator, whose love and wisdom guided me along this doctoral path. To my ancestors, both ancient and recently transitioned, I pay homage. No amount of verbal libations can ever truly honor the sacrifices they endured, so the living would not have to know their struggles. In particular, I would like to honor those ancestors who survived the Maafa. Without them, I would not be. I would also like to honor my Jamaican ancestors, particularly my Windward Maroon ancestors of Portland Parish. The legacy of their warrior spirits kept me strong throughout this process, and motivated me to continue the good fight of completing this work. I thank my intellectual ancestress Zora Neale Hurston, who I am very proud to have been directly trained by those who were trained by those who trained her. Her ethnographic and literary works spoke to me, and were always a constant reminder that those of us who are a blend of the fine arts and the social sciences are uniquely positioned to be a transformative voice for the voiceless.
