They proceed to point out the epistemological vio- lence that must inevitably result from any self-conscious effort to universalize historically situated concepts that mine the rest of the world for raw data in order to verify or modify these so-called uni- versal categories. What should be the response of scholars around the world, including in Africa? Some have responded by turning to the preco- lonial for authentic knowledge. Others have looked for African or postcolonial modes of thinking in the contemporary world. These initiatives have given rise to a variety of tendencies ranging from the “modernist” to the “nativist.” With the publication of The MISR Review, we join this eclectic endeavor, avowing neither a “modernist” nor a “nativist” agenda. Our modest aim is to get the MISR scholarly community to engage with the contemporary and its historical antecedents from the standpoint of situating Africa in the world and understanding the world from an African vantage point. Our not-so-modest aim is to theorize the African experience with a view to underlining its par- ticular as well as more general significance. To do so is to join the innovative work of creating categories, thereby giving meaning to our experience in the world and making possible an emancipatory practice, including theory-making, that can translate and commu- nicate this experience to neighbors near and far.

  • Burundi CERF Narrative Report 2008.Pdf
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HUMANITARIAN/RESIDENT COORDINATOR ON THE USE OF CERF GRANTS Country Burundi Humanitarian / Resident Youssef Mahmoud Coordinator Reporting Period 1 January – 31 December 2008 I. Executive Summary Two allocations were granted to Burundi in 2008: one from the rapid response window ($1.6 million) and one from the underfunded window ($3.6 million). In both cases and in absence of a Consolidated Humanitarian Appeal for the first time in seven years, CERF funding provided much needed emergency support to tackle both the food crisis and underfunded emergencies in a context of transition and fragile recovery. The initial rapid response allocation came at a critical time for Burundi, one of the countries hardest hit by the soaring food prices with an increase of more than 130 percent between 2007 and 2008. It enabled strengthening the health and nutrition response to needs of 1,100 new severe acute malnourished children and the extension of screening programs for 16,000 children. The purchase of seeds and tools for 40,000 families recently returned from Tanzania prevented a large number of repatriated refugees from falling into the cycle of severe food insecurity. The underfunded grant enabled meeting critical food needs for 15,000 Burundian refugees from 1972 who were repatriated in 2008. This group was initially not included in the planning of UN agencies as their return started when both Burundian and Tanzanian Governments reached an agreement on the naturalization process of those willing to remain in Tanzania. The same grant provided a much needed food return package for Burundians expelled from Tanzania.

  • Ethnic Violence
    Université de Montréal The Politicization and Depoliticization of Ethnicity A Constructivist Approach to Power-sharing Alexandre W. Raffoul Maîtrise en Études Internationales Janvier 2017 Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maîtrise en Études Internationales. © Alexandre Raffoul, 2017 Résumé Depuis les années 1990, le partage du pouvoir est l’option favorisée pour la consolidation de la paix dans les sociétés multi-ethniques. Or, une importante littérature a remis en cause sa capacité à consolider la paix sur le long terme. Ce mémoire questionne l’approche de l’ethnicité, des institutions et des relations peuple-élites dans la théorie du partage du pouvoir. Il propose de la ré- approcher en se basant sur la théorie constructiviste de l’ethnicité, qui reconnaît la multiplicité et la relative fluidité des identités ethniques, sur une approche néo-institutionnaliste, qui étudie les interactions des institutions avec leur environnement, et en accordant une attention particulière au lien entre peuple et élites. Ce mémoire développe trois arguments principaux. 1–La politisation du clivage ethnique nuit au bon fonctionnement d’un système démocratique, menace la durabilité de la paix et transforme la nature de la violence. Le « succès » du partage du pouvoir peut donc être défini comme la dépolitisation de ce clivage. 2–La politisation du clivage ethnique n’est pas naturelle, mais résulte d’un processus dans lequel les institutions formelles et informelles ainsi que la violence jouent des rôles clés. 3–La dépolitisation du clivage ethnique est possible si des garanties pour représentation politique et la sécurité des catégories ethniques sont mises en place, et si des incitatifs pour la mobilisation d’identités non-ethniques sont apportés.
