This issue, number 10, explores some of the complex development challenges associated with Africa’s relatively recent and rapidly-progressing urbanisation. Analysing urban settings through the diverse experiences and perspectives of inhabitants and stakeholders in cities from Addis Ababa and Johannesburg to mid-sized cities such as the mining boomtowns of Eastern Congo, this collection of articles invites readers to ponder the evolution of in- ternational development policy responses across the region. The contributions are organised in four parts. Part one includes an introduc- tion by the guest editors, Carole Amman and Till Förster, and a scene-setting chapter by Edgar Pieterse. Part two looks at urban governance and is followed by chapters addressing policy, planning and informality in part three.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, numerous trading posts, belonging to various colonial empires, were established along the coast.

McCLOY THE NEGRO IN FRANCE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY PRESS Copyright© 1961 by the University of Kentucky Press Printed in the United States of America by the Division of Printing, University of Kentucky Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-6554 FOREWORD THE PURPOSE of this study is to present a history of the Negro who has come to France, the reasons for his coming, the record of his stay, and the reactions of the French to his presence. It is not a study of the Negro in the French colonies or of colonial conditions, for that is a different story. Occasion­ ally, however, reference to colonial happenings is brought in as necessary to set forth the background. The author has tried assiduously to restrict his attention to those of whose Negroid blood he could be certain, but whenever the distinction has been significant, he has considered as mulattoes all those having any mixture of Negro and white blood.

Hidden Cities: Reinventing The Non-Space Between Street And Subway Abstract The connections leading to underground transit lines have not received the attention given to public spaces above ground. Considered to be merely infrastructure, the design and planning of these underground passageways has been dominated by engineering and capital investment principles, with little attention to place-making. This underground transportation area, often dismissed as “non-space,” is a by-product of high-density transit-oriented development, and becomes increasingly valuable and complex as cities become larger and denser. This dissertation explores the design of five of these hidden cities where there has been a serious effort to make them into desirable public spaces. Over thirty-two million urbanites navigate these underground labyrinths in New York City, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, and Paris every day. These in-between spaces have evolved from simple stairwells to networked corridors, to transit concourses, to transit malls, and to the financial engines for affordable public transit.

    Mbalax: Traces of Tradition in Senegalese Hip-Hop A MASTER’S THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BY MIKAYLA WINNER SIMERAL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ETHNOMUSICOLOGY December 22, 2017 Acknowledgements The moment I first visited Africa in 2007, I knew I was meant to do more than visit and leave. I have dreamt of executing musical research on this beautiful continent ever since that day, and ten years later, here I am. This study would not be possible without the assistance and support of some very meaningful people in my life. First, I would like to thank Adja and Mommy Gna Gna for opening their home to me in Dakar. Thank you for your patience and kind support through all of my ups and downs. Bisou bisou to you both. Bouna and Neesa, if it weren’t for you two I would have never gone to Senegal. Thank you for inspiring me to want to learn more about your vibrant culture and allowing me to stay with your family. You are both such a blessing in my life and I can’t imagine what this study would have been without you. Ibou and Paco, my drum teachers at Africa Tilibo, I will always have a special place in my heart for the both of you. Thank you for your patience, your persistence, your smiles, your afternoon tea and your wealth of drumming knowledge. Africa Tilibo became my second home in Senegal, and I will never forget my lessons underneath the mango tree.
