(2008)
Liesl Jobson's collection is aptly termed 'flash fiction' or 'prose poems'. It comprises 100 short pieces that are beautifully impressionistic - the literary equivalent of a well-times photograph. Jobson was born in Durban, South Africa. Her poetry and prose has been published in journals and anthologies in South Africa and abroad. She won the People Opposing Women Abuse women's writing poetry competition in 2005. She as also awarded a community publishing project great from the Centre for the Book under the auspices of the National Library of South Africa in 2007. This is her debut collection which won the Ernst van Heerden creative writing award for 2006 from the University of the Witwatersrand. She is a freelance writer, photographer ad bassoonist.
This is a story about a house with a history and about the people who lived or worked there. It captures something of the spirit of the times in the worlds of politics and development, and it discusses the links which were established between Oxfam GB in Zambia and the African National Congress of South Africa.
When the Dar es Salaam Declaration on Academic Freedom and Social Responsibility of Academics came up in the early 1990s, African higher-education systems were in a serious, multi-dimensional and long-standing crisis. Hand-in-hand with the imbalances and troubles that rocked and ruined African economies, the crisis in the academia was characterised by the collapse of infrastructures, inadequate teaching personnel and poor staff development and motivation. It was against this background that the questions of academic freedom and the responsibilities and autonomy of institutions of higher-learning were raised in the Dar es Salaam Declaration. In February 2005, the University of Dar es Salaam Staff Association (UDASA), in cooperation with CODESRIA, organised a workshop to bring together the staff associations of some public and private universities in Tanzania, in order to renew their commitment to the basic principles of the Dar es Salaam Declaration and its sister document - the Kampala Declaration on Intellectual Freedom and Social Responsibility. The workshop was also aimed at re-invigorating the social commitment of African intellectuals. The papers included in this volume reflect the depth and potentials of the debates that took place during the workshop. The volume is published in honour of Chachage Seithy L. Chachage, who was an active part of the workshop but unfortunately passed away in 2006.
Africa's Political Wastelands: The Bastardization of Cameroon : The Bastardization of Cameroon
(2008)
Africa?s Political Wastelands explores and confirms the fact that because of irresponsible, corrupt, selfish, and unpatriotic kleptocrats parading as leaders, the ultimate breakdown of order has become the norm in African nations, especially those south of the Sahara. The result is the virtual annihilation of once thriving and proud nations along with the citizenry who are transformed into wretches, vagrants, and in the extreme, refugees. Doh uses Cameroon as an exemplary microcosm to make this point while still holding imperialist ambitions largely responsible for the status quo in Africa. Ultimately, in the hope of jumpstarting the process, he makes pertinent suggestions on turning the tide on the continent.
Against the Odds
(2008)
Undaunted by hardship, a determined widow, Uridiya, arranges a wife of her choice for her western- educated only son. Little does she know that her son, Jamike, had fallen in love and married a foreigner against her wishes and the expectations of his village. In a show of love, loyalty and commitment he rejects the arranged wife to the disappointment of his mother and the community. Can his defiance succeed against all odds? Set in an Igbo village in Eastern Nigeria from the late 1950?s to early 1970?s and in the United States in the early 1970?s, the author sympathetically handles the powerlessness of the widow in rural African societies and addresses with candor and sensitivity the problems of race, human sexuality, cultural disengagement and the role of love in blurring the ?color line.? Born in Imo State Nigeria, Ben Igwe was educated in Nigerian and American Universities. He holds a Ph.D. in Library and Information Science from the University of Maryland at College Park. He has taught in Universities in Nigeria and the United States. He is currently Chief of the division of Philosophy, Psychology and Religion in the District of Columbia Public Library in Washington, D.C. He lives with his family in Adelphi, Maryland.
1 Introdução Os falantes da língua Xingoni são os descendentes do grupo etnolinguístico oriundo das migrações dos Nguni. No mfecane, causado pelas guerras do Shaka Zulu e Dingiswayo, numerosas populações foram movimentadas em vastas zonas geográficas de África Austral. Essas ondas demográficas chegaram até a província de Cabo Delgado. Xingoni é a variante de referência, falada nos distritos de Montepuez, Nangade, Meluco, Mueda, Muidumbe e Nangade. Existe a probabilidade da existência de mais falantes do Xingoni na província do Niassa, no distrito de Milepa e na província de Tete, concretamente no distrito de Angônia. Fora do território nacional, o Xingoni é também falado no Malawi e na Tanzânia. Também se ouve falar duma língua Xingoni na Zâmbia. Dado que a língua Xingoni pertence às línguas moçambicanas menos estudadas, achei oportuno convidar um grupo de falantes ao workshop “Descubra a sua língua” que teve lugar em Abril deste ano. Juntaram-se aos outros participantes e desenvolveram actividades que culminaram na produção desta versão experimental daquilo que mais tarde se possam tornar “Algumas Notas gramaticais sobre a língua Xingoni.” O modelo da descrição segue os mesmos princípios que norteavam as notas gramaticais das línguas Emakhuwa, Etakwane, Imarenje e Ekoti. Espero que essas notas possam servir de modelo e inspiração para elaborar mais descrições gramaticais nas línguas menos estudadas.

Armee et politique au Niger
(2008)
Niger's political history has lacked a synthesis on the army's involvement in politics since independence. The country is a fertile ground for such analysis. Between 1964 and 1999, the country witnessed three successful military coups during the democratisation process (April 1974, January 1996, and April 1999) and at least four military coup attempts (1964, 1975, 1976, 1983). In its forty years of independence, Niger has been under military rule for twenty-one years. It has also experienced seven different institutional regimes while four out of the six presidents who headed the country were soldiers. Niger evolved from the Second to the Fifth Republic in less than ten years - from the national conference (November 1991) to the last military coup (April 1999). In statistical terms, Niger has been witnessing a military coup or a military coup attempt every five-years since 1974. In addition to that, the country recorded seven mutinies and various other forms of troop rebellion between December 1963 and August 2000. In terms of institutional instability, Niger's record is unparalleled in Africa. A study on the army is therefore more needed than ever before. The recurrence with which the military appears on the political scene imposes another way of looking at Niger's army. A critical analysis of the military phenomenon, if not an assessment, would help envisage new prospects for Niger's future. This work, which was undertaken by a multi disciplinary team, suggests an analysis, from a historical and sociological perspective, of the long-standing involvement of the army in politics (the apparition of war leaders in the 19th century, the transition from colonial army to national army, the politicisation of the army and the emergence of 'military-politicians', the army sociology.). It aims at providing an answer to a key question: Why is the army so deeply involved in politics in Niger? It reveals how a significant military component has been gradually built up in Niger's political arena to become a highly dynamic political entrepreneur, able to compete with civilian politicians. The work shows, on the one hand, the significance of socio-political and economic contexts that promote the propensity for military interventionism, and on the other hand the transformations within the army that explain its propensity to intervene. It relates two decades of 'military rule', analyses their modes of legitimating, organising and managing power, gives an assessment of their economic policies and sheds light on women's role in that institution, which was thus far a men's business.
Babi Yar Symphony
(2008)
This unique work lifts the African question out of the dust. Against the backdrop of prison life, it explores the complex reality of being an African in today's world. Through the tight sensitivity and illuminating knowledge of its two principal characters, themselves victims of misplaced justice, greed and lust, it captures the pain and sadness that almost always comes in the wake of betrayal and egotism. The work's message is strong, and is delivered with equal strength by characters whose individual convictions also sway us to their side. We have here a new, powerful shaft of light on the landscape of recent African writing.
The Bay of Diego-Suarez, considered to be one of the finest and largest natural harbours in the world, is located towards the northernmost tip of Madagascar in the Antsiranana province. Despite its historical and current use as a port, much of its convoluted perimeter is still somewhat untouched, harbouring pristine shorelines and subtidal coral reefs. The position of the bay between other regions in which high marine biodiversity has already been revealed suggests that it may also harbour high biodiversity. However, the relatively long coastline and limited connectivity of the bay with the Indian Ocean, in combination with existing anthropogenic activities, potentially make its marine environments susceptible to a range of environmental impacts including sedimentation, nutrification and pollution. The Frontier-Madagascar Marine Research Programme (FMMRP) became involved in conducting marine ecological survey work in the Bay of Diego-Suarez, north Madagascar, in April 2005, having relocated from its previous base at Anakao in southwest Madagascar. The rationale for the survey programme stemmed from the affiliation of the FMMRP with the Malagasy organisations Association Nationale pour la Gestion des Aires Protégées (ANGAP) and Service d’Appui a la Gestion de l’Environnement (SAGE), who were interested in identifying areas of the bay with particularly healthy coral reef systems. Additional environmental interest in the bay has arisen as a result of its proximity to surrounding terrestrial protected areas such as the newly managed Ramena complex, incorporating Orangea and Montagne des Français, and also Montagne d’Ambre. Since its relocation to the Diego-Suarez area, the FMMRP has compiled over two years’ worth of marine ecological data relating to benthic community composition, fish species abundance and population size structure, frequency of algae and invertebrate indicator species, and physical environmental parameters. Thus there exists an extensive dataset for the Bay of Diego-Suarez, from which details of the current condition of its marine habitats can be investigated and a baseline for temporal monitoring can be established. The primary purpose of this report is to signify the initial detailed dissection of the dataset and demonstrate the conclusions that can be made regarding the ecological status of coral reef systems within the bay. This has mostly involved the examination of benthic data, focusing upon variations in percentage cover of substrata and coral community characteristics as useful structural indicators of reef condition. Additionally, the report includes an assessment of the abundance and distribution of sea urchins and their relation to benthic community patterns, as a demonstration of the ability to interrelate different aspect of the FMMRP dataset to enhance the conclusions that can be drawn. Benthic community data were obtained from 380 line intercept transects conducted in different sectors of the Bay of Diego-Suarez between October 2005 and December 2007, representing a combined distance of 7,600 m. Sediment occupied the greatest overall proportion of the benthos (around 38%), especially in the western areas of the bay. Overall mean hard coral cover was around 15%, and tended to co-vary with other ‘hard’ substrata such as rock and rubble. In total, 38 scleractinian coral genera were recorded during survey work, in addition to a number of unidentified genera. The coral communities of the bay were dominated by Acropora and Porites spp., which comprised around 33% and 20% of total recorded hard coral cover, respectively. Hard coral cover and generic diversity appeared to be positively related. These indicators were greatest in the northeast area opposite the mouth of the bay, reaching mean values of around 37% and 6.8 genera, respectively. Here, the hard coral community was dominated by Acropora spp. and comprised a relatively high proportional cover of Galaxea spp. In the northwest of the bay, coral cover was approximately half as great and consisted primarily of species belonging to the genera Porites and Millepora. Habitats in this area were highly similar in terms of their overall coral community composition. Hard coral cover and diversity were generally lower in the southern portion of the bay, especially in more immediate proximity to the population centre of Diego-Suarez (around 2% and 1.5- 5.5 genera, respectively). Coral community composition was considerably more variable than in the northern portion of the bay. v After sediment and ‘hard’ substrata, seagrass formed the next major interplaying component of the benthic environment (around 10% overall proportional cover). The easternmost areas adjacent to the mouth of the bay were characterised by high seagrass cover, whic h reached around 48%. Little or no seagrass was encountered elsewhere, except at one locality in the northwest (around 13% cover). Macroalgae cover was low and less variable, reaching a maximum value of around 10% adjacent to Diego-Suarez. There were no differences between island and mainland sites in terms of overall benthic substratum characteristics, yet soft coral cover was significantly greater amongst island sectors. Sea urchin abundance data were obtained from 498 belt transects conducted between April 2006 and December 2007, representing a total area of 49,800 m2. A total of 6 species were recorded, of which Diadema setosum comprised by far the greatest relative abundance (96%) and observation frequency (55%). The greatest population densities of this species were encountered in the more exposed areas in the west and northwest, reaching around 1.5 m-2, and very few individuals were recorded in the eastern reaches. Data suggest a possible seasonal increase in D. setosum densities, corresponding with an increase in water temperature towards the end of the year. No significant correlation existed between D. setosum population density and coral cover, although these seemed to be inversely related in the central northern area of the bay. There was also no significant correlation with macroalgae cover. However, D. setosum density was positively and negatively associated with rubble and seagrass cover, respectively. There was a lack of a clear pattern amongst sectors with respect to overall benthic community characteristics, let alone between the density of D. setosum and benthic substratum composition. In conclusion, a relatively detailed map of benthic community composition has been produced for the Bay of Diego-Suarez, which shall be useful in elucidating the primary factors determining the condition of marine environments within the bay and developing effective sustainable management strategies. Further analysis, incorporating additional components of the FMMRP dataset, is required in order to further clarify our understanding of the key issues surrounding the current status of these coral reef systems. It is hoped that continued survey work will enable important long-term ecological monitoring of the marine environment of the bay and assessment of the effectiveness of any management initiatives that may be implemented.
Beschäftigungsprognose 2009/2010 für die Region Rhein-Main :
IWAK-Betriebsbefragung im Herbst 2008
(2008)
Nach der aktuellen Beschäftigungsprognose für die Region Rhein-Main ist bis Ende 2009 mit stagnierenden Beschäftigtenzahlen zu rechnen. Dies gilt sowohl für die Gesamtbeschäftigung als auch für die sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung.
Eine dramatische Verschlechterung der Situation auf dem Arbeitsmarkt in der Region ist damit nicht zu erwarten. Dies erscheint angesichts der aktuellen Abschwächung der wirtschaftlichen Aktivität und der immer pessimistischer werdenden Wachstumsprognosen etwas überraschend, steht aber im Einklang mit den Regionalprognosen des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt und Berufsforschung (IAB). Auch dort wird (für Hessen) für das Jahr 2009 von einer stagnierenden Beschäftigung ausgegangen.
Die tatsächlichen Wirkungen des Abschwungs auf den Arbeits markt hängen jedoch nicht nur von seinem Ausmaß, sondern auch von seiner Dauer ab. Die Betriebe in der Region Rhein-Main, das hat die 2-Jahresprognose gezeigt, gehen nur von einer kurzen Schwächeperiode der Wirtschaft aus, die im Jahr 2010 nach ihrer Einschätzung bereits wieder überwunden sein und sich entsprechend in einer Zunahme der Arbeitskräftenachfrage im Jahr 2010 niederschlagen wird (Prognose für 2010: +0,7%).Es ist hier aber zu berücksichtigen, dass auch die Betriebe ihre Erwartungen unter sehr hohen Unsicherheiten formulieren. Falls sich diese kurzfristig nicht erfüllen, d.h. die Krise doch länger andauert als gegenwärtig erwartet, wird sich dies auch auf dem Arbeitsmarkt in der Region Rhein-Main niederschlagen. Des Weiteren bleibt festzuhalten, dass die Region Rhein-Main ihre kurzfristige Stabilität in den Beschäftigtenzahlen überwiegend einem Sektor, den Dienstleistungen für Unternehmen, zu verdanken hat. Andere wichtige Branchen in der Region, wie das Kreditgewerbe und Versicherungsinstitute oder das Verarbeitende Gewerbe, gehen dagegen für 2009 schon von einem spürbaren Beschäftigungsrückgang aus. Falls sich die negativen Entwicklungen auf den Dienstleistungssektor übertragen, ist auch in der Region Rhein-Main mit einem Beschäftigungseinbruch zu rechnen. Negativ ist des Weiteren die Entwicklung bei den Kleinstbetrieben zu bewerten. Diese haben in den letzten Jahren nicht unerheblich zur Beschäftigungsstabilität bzw. zum Beschäftigungsanstieg der Region Rhein-Main beigetragen. Aktuell zeichnen sie sich jedoch durch die schlechteste Prognose aller Betriebsgrößenklassen aus.
Über die Bedeutung von kontinuierlichen Weiterbildungsaktivitäten besteht ein breiter Konsens: Sie sind aus betrieblicher Sicht unerlässlich zur Sicherung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, zur Bewältigung des technisch-organisatorischen Wandels und zur Erreichung notwendiger Innovationen und Produktivitätssteigerungen. Aus Sicht der Erwerbspersonen wiederum reicht eine (falls vorhandene) berufliche Erstausbildung angesichts der dynamischen Prozesse in der Arbeitswelt häufig nicht mehr aus, um Beschäftigung und Einkommen langfristig zu sichern. Immer wieder postuliert wird daher die Notwendigkeit lebenslangen Lernens.
Gerade der beruflichen Weiterbildung wird daher von verschiedener Seite eine Schlüsselrolle für die gesamte Wirtschafts- und Sozialpolitik zugesprochen (vgl. Bellmann/Büchel 2001). Die Erkenntnis der besonderen Bedeutung beruflicher Weiterbildung ist nicht neu. Umso erstaunlicher ist die mangelhafte Informationsgrundlage über Art, Umfang und Intensität beruflicher Weiterbildungsformen. Der Weiterbildungsbereich ist in Deutschland statistisch nur bruchstückhaft erfasst, die vorhandenen Statistiken sind häufig nicht kompatibel und begriffliche Abgrenzungen heterogen bis diffus (vgl. Bellmann 2003). Begibt man sich von einer internationalen (EU) oder nationalen (Deutschland) auf die regionalisierte Ebene der Bundesländer, wird die Datenlage noch dürftiger. Sind national bzw. international inzwischen zumindest einige Berichtsysteme etabliert wie z.B. der Continual Vocational Trainig Survey (CVTS, vgl. zu den Ergebnissen Statistisches Bundesamt 2007), das Berichtsystem Weiterbildung (BSW; vgl. Rosenbladt, Bilger, 2008) oder im Aufbau wie der Adult Education Survey (AES), stehen Daten und Informationen auf Bundesländerebene in wesentlich geringerem Umfang zur Verfügung.
Um (Förder-) Aktivitäten im Bereich der beruflichen Weiterbildung optimiert einsetzen und bewerten zu können, bedarf es jedoch einer möglichst detaillierten Informationsgrundlage über Art und Umfang von Weiterbildungsaktivitäten. Hier setzt das vorliegende Projekt an: Das Institut für Wirtschaft, Arbeit und Kultur führte eine vom Hessischen Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Verkehr und Landesentwicklung geförderte Studie mit dem Ziel durch, eine solche Informationsgrundlage über Art und Umfang betrieblicher Weiterbildung in Hessen zu erhalten. Gleichzeitig sollte ein Konzept zur Etablierung eines „Informationssystems Weiterbildung in Hessen“ erarbeitet werden, welches eine kontinuierliche Berichterstattung über Weiterbildungsaktivitäten in Hessen über einen längeren Zeitraum erlaubt und auch nicht betrieblich finanzierte Weiterbildungsformen berücksichtigt.
Der vorliegende Bericht stellt somit einen ersten Baustein des „Informationssystems Weiterbildung“ dar, der sich auf betriebliche Weiterbildung beschränkt. Hierzu wurde Anfang 2008 eine repräsentative telefonische Betriebsbefragung bei ca. 2.200 hessischen Unternehmen durchgeführt. Des Weitern wurden die Daten des IAB-Betriebspanels Hessen für die Jahre 2001 bis 2007 hinsichtlich der dort vorhandenen Fragen zur betrieblichen Weiterbildung ausgewertet.
Beware the Drives
(2008)
This collection of verse, which has mostly short poems, some of which are two-liners, is an outcome of several years of keen observation of the very nature of man. The observation brought this writer to the conclusion that man is dominated by fear and in his effort to conquer it, he resorts to unbridled aggression. Such aggression has been very instrumental in much of the success that humanity has been able to achieve, so far. But at the same time, the same aggression in man's nature has been responsible for the pleasure he takes in the ruthless destruction of his own kind, the environment in which he cushions himself, plants and animals.
Bibliografie Meinrad Inglin
(2008)
Es existiert bisher keine vollständige Bibliografie Meinrad Inglins. Diese Arbeit ist ein Ansatz dazu. Ich verweise auf die grundlegende, recht ausführliche Publikation von Beatrice von Matt mit dem Titel: „Meinrad Inglin. Eine Biographie“, Atlantis Verlag, Zürich, 1976. Die hier vorliegende Bibliographie beinhaltet die Primärwerke, listet die Adaptionen auf und umfasst in der Sekundärliteratur eine Reihe bis heute erschienenen Publikationen und Artikel über den Autor und dessen Werke.
The poems, stories and essays of Mphutlane wa Bofelo operate within a framework of thinking that is an amalgam of philosophies: that of black consciousness, humanistic Islam and socialism. His voice is both lyrical and satirical, expressing anger and tenderness even as his barbs are sharp and his kisses tender. His beats are complex polyrhythms that roll on in incantatory style or achieve mystical brevity. Bofelo entered the world of sociopolitical and cultural activism in the early 1980s through the black consciousness movement in Zamdela Township in Sasolburg. He lives in Durban, where he has built up an audience as a performer of poetry, a speaker and a facilitator. He has self-published two poetry collections and is represented in journals, newspapers and on web sites.
The Botsotso literary journal started in 1996 as a monthly 4 page insert in the New Nation, an independent anti-apartheid South African weekly and reached over 80,000 people at a time largely politisized black workers and youth with a selection of poems, short stories and short essays that reflected the deep changes taking place in the country at that time. Since the closure of the New Nation in 1999, the journal has evolved into a stand-alone compilation featuring the same mix of genres, and with the addition of photo essays and reviews. The Botsotso editorial policy remains committed to creating a mix of voices which highlight the diverse spectrum of South African identities and languages, particularly those that are dedicated to radical expression and examinations of South Africa's complex society.
' ''Building Capacity promotes the vision that the teaching of African languages can best achieve its aim of boosting the economic and cultural development of the Africans if they are made to work in synergy with a revamping of the course contents of international languages that will be taught within the frame of a development-oriented literacy curriculum. Great emphasis is put on the oral skills in the use of African languages as they are to serve as a link between the community and the school for the ultimate revitalization of the positive aspects of African cultures in a world beset by globalization. The book is supplemented with a sample of texts in the appendix that are meant to be a bridge between formal texts taught in classrooms and literacy texts that can raise the genuine interests of the local populations in that they address their immediate needs. Among the possible topics language teachers are encouraged to explore in their classes are those concerning economic development, but also such issues as health, education, the environment, food security, and conflict resolution. ''''In the face of the growing interest in the use of African Languages by Africans as symbols of personal and cultural identity and as means of empowering the rural communities in the entreprise of national development,the need for a methodologically appropriate manual to guide the teaching and learning of African languages becomes urgent.This book is a timely response, predicated on a policy of the symbiotic use of African languages along with partner (foreign-official) languages, to attain a balanced level of economic and socio-cultural development.It is based on a compendium of well- thought-out principles geared towards a rapid acquisition of written and oral language skills that are congruent with and reflect the socio-cultural and economic concerns of the linguistic community.'''' Beban Sammy Chumbow, Professor of Linguistics, University of Yaounde I ''''Among the numerous proposals in this book is the necessity for Africans, and I would add, for the communities of Asia and Latin America, to re-think the contents of their language courses and assign them an objective which aims at the integral development of their communities. It is indeed imperative that these courses reflect clear objectives of seeking social, cultural, and economic developments that harmonize with African, Asian, and Latin American values that are deep rooted in their respective various cultures.''''

Burnt Offering
(2008)
Burnt Offering is Joan Metelerkamp's seventh colllection of poems. The title comes from a poem in a cycle that embodies the labours of the medieval alchemists - heating and burning, transformation of passionate intensity, the search for an enduring element. In the process malignant doubt is burnt off, and what takes its place is trust in the everyday: 'take this day, here, take it all its clarity, all its gold' - Like all of Metelerkamp's work, these generous poems draw on and weave together, with her distinctive energy and passion, the details of family and rural life, dreams, landscapes and journeys.
' Cameroon's Social Democratic Front (SDF) was among the watershed challenges c.1990 by sub-Saharan Africa's democratization forces against autocratic regimes, but it crested in 1992 and has subsided since. Yet the party survives, participates in the National Assembly, maintains a grass roots structure, and prepares for a presidential ballot in 2011 that will likely determine its fate. The author conducted research four times in Cameroon, 1989-1999, focusing on the SDF since 1991, and maintains party contacts to the present. The book assesses its history and its prospects, covering the SDF in Africa-wide as well as Cameroonian terms. ''Krieger has given us the first, superbly researched, finely tuned analysis of the fortunes of a major contemporary African opposition party, Cameroon's Social Democratic Front (SDF).'' - Victor Le Vine, Washington University, St. Louis, USA. ''The book goes far beyond its title and puts in context a daylight re-emergence of political opposition in Cameroon. To say that this long overdue history of the SDF party is a prolegomena to understanding contemporary Cameroon social forces is not an overstatement.'' - Ambroise Kom, University of Yaounde I, Cameroon. ''...a level-headed but provocative examination of the structure and workings of a major African country...the sobriety with which he evaluates institutions and leadership is commendable, yielding exceptional analysis that will stand the test of time.'' - Toyin Falola, Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Letters and Fellow of the Historical Society of Nigeria. Milton Krieger started teaching and research about sub-Saharan Africa in 1970. Nine trips there include four research visits providing two years time in Cameroon, 1989-99. The second, 1991, coincided with 'villes mortes' and turned his primary scholarship to the Social Democratic Front. Access to party documents, officials, and rank and file members included visitor status at the 1995 and 1999 national conventions. Party contacts continue to the present.'
Africa is richly blessed with cultural and natural heritage, key resources for nation building and development. Unfortunately, heritage is not being systematically researched or recognised, denying Africans the chance to learn about and benefit from heritage initiatives. This book offers a preliminary discussion of factors challenging the management of intangible cultural heritage in the African communities of Zanzibar, Mauritius and Seychelles. These islands are part of an overlapping cultural and economic zone influenced by a long history of slavery and colonial rule, a situation that has produced inequalities and underdevelopment. In all of them, heritage management is seriously underfinanced and under-resourced. African descendant heritage is given little attention and this continues to erode identity and sense of belonging to the nation. In Zanzibar tensions between majority and minority political parties affect heritage initiatives on the island. In Mauritius, the need to diversify the economy and tourism sector is encouraging the commercialisation of heritage and the homogenisation of Creole identity. In Seychelles, the legacy of socialist rule affects the conceptualisation and management of heritage, discouraging managers from exploring the island's widerange of intangible heritages. The author concludes that more funding and attention needs to be given to heritage management in Africa and its diaspora. Rosabelle Boswell is a senior lecturer in the Anthropology Department at Rhodes University, South Africa and a specialist of the southwest Indian Ocean islands. Her research interests include ethnicity, heritage, gender and development. Boswell's PhD was on poverty and identity among Creoles in Mauritius and her most recent work is onthe role of scent and fragrances in the heritage of the Swahili islands of the Indian Ocean region.
Coils of Mortal Flesh
(2008)
The diverse voices in the poems in this collection are unified in the single voice of the omnipresent persona who appears to be searching for a collective voice, some kind of order or rhythm that would impose meaning to life. Reading the poems constitutes an individual journey. This poetic journey from Awakening that takes the reader to Moonlight Spells and Wreaths and leads her/him through Laments to the Epilogue is a continuous movement in the search for humanity's existence. As a metaphor of self-discovery, the poetic quest is both an expression of, and a search for mankind's elusive self-that single, unbroken umbilical cord that is firmly rooted in the African experience and identity. Ba'bila Mutia teaches oral and written literatures, creative writing, advanced writing and research methodology, at the University of Yaound? I. His poetry and short stories have been featured in anthologies and reviews worldwide, and his work has been broadcast on the BBC. In June of 1993 Mutia was honoured by the Berlin Academy of Arts as special guest writer in an international writers' reading. He is the author of Whose Land? (Longman), Before This Time, Yesterday (Silex/Nouvelles du Sud) and 'The Miracle' in the Heinemann Book of Contemporary African Short Stories.
Rwanda entered independence following a transition marked by violent internecine conflict. The conflict was stoked by the departing colonial rulers as they sought to place control of the levers of state in the hands of an ethnic majority, which they had hitherto marginalised in favour of a minority they now sought to exclude. It carried on into the country’s post-colonial politics. For nearly three decades Rwanda’s postcolonial rulers presided over an ethnocracy that perpetuated the negative colonial legacy of ethnic division. They systematically practiced a politics of exclusion and repression that placed the country’s long-term stability under threat, eventually led to civil war, and culminated in the genocide of 1994. After the genocide and the defeat and overthrow of the ancien regime of ethnic supremacists, the new ruling elite - most of whom had spent nearly three decades in exile or been born there - embarked on re-building a collapsed state and re-ordering the country’s politics. The last fourteen years have witnessed deliberate efforts to re-orient the country away from three decades of politics of division and exclusion under the First and Second Republics, towards a system which privileges national reconciliation and unity, equity, and inclusion. This paper examines developments in post-1994 Rwanda against the background of pre-1994 politics and society, and the factors that led to and facilitated the war that culminated in the genocide and eventual overthrow of the Second Republic. It provides insights into the efforts and achievements made by the new ruling elites in pursuit of long-term peace and stability. A great deal, however, remains inadequately explored, including political organisation and the role of political parties, economic reform and management, and the reform and management of the security sector, all of which are the focus of on-going research.
In response to rising anti-Semitism worldwide, including in some of the strongest democracies, the U.S. Congress passed the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004. On October 16, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the legislation into law (Public Law 108-332). The Act requires the U.S. Department of State to document and combat acts of anti-Semitism globally. To advance these goals, the Act mandated a one-time report on anti-Semitic acts, which the U.S. Department of State submitted to the U.S. Congress in January 2005. The Act also established within the U.S. Department of State an Office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism. On May 22, 2006, Gregg Rickman was sworn in by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as the first Special Envoy.The U.S. Department of State’s January 2005 Report on Global Anti-Semitism surveyed anti-Semitic incidents throughout the world. The annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices and the annual Report on International Religious Freedom include country-by-country assessments of the nature and extent of acts of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic incitement. The Office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism contributes to the anti-Semitism sections of these annual surveys, pursuant to the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act. Both reports have revealed that incidents of anti-Semitism have become more frequent in recent years. Consistent with the U.S. Department of State’s commitment to assess and counter anti-Semitism, this report is provided to the U.S. Congress to further assess contemporary anti-Semitism by exploring anti-Semitic themes and practices. This report is meant to be used as a resource for increasing understanding of and informing public discourse about contemporary forms of anti-Semitism and for shaping policies to combat anti-Semitism worldwide.
Cry My Beloved Africa is a compendium of essays having as locus the continent of Africa. It comprises insightful observations on the politics, governmental systems, political economy, cultural practices, educational systems and natural phenomena that impact on the lives of Africans. True to the tradition of French novelist Stendhal, the author intends this work to serve as a mirror that reflects the day-to-day living of the different peoples that inhabit the fifty-three nation-states in Africa. It is directed to contemporary Africa and to the relationship between Africa and the rest of the globe. The didactic value of the book resides in its suitability to the young and the old. The language is clear and free of sophistry.
' Dancing with Life is a collection of short stories by Christopher Mlalazi. He has had stories published in anthologies inside and outside Zimbabwe, this is his first collection. ''Christopher Mlalazi may well be the most promising young writer in Zimbabwe today. His fiction captures the edgy energy of townships where young people have learned to be light on their feet, their dancing born of economic necessity and mocking disrespect for traditional authority. Mlalazi depicts contemporary life in Zimbabwe with an uncompromising determination to explore grievous social wounds and with a creative panache that will win him readers within and beyond his home country.'' - Patricia Alden, Professor of African Literature, St Lawrence University ''Christopher Mlalazi is the rising voice of the ghetto, with all its violence, sharp anger, bitter protestations and tangible promise of a better tomorrow.'' - Raisedon Baya, Writer and Columist ''This collection sparkles with wit, sizzles with style and dances with life. It is a welcome addition to Zimbabwe's growing canon and will be read and enjoyed for years to come.'' - Petina Gappah, Writer and Critic'
Developing a Sustainable Economy in Cameroon is an ambitious effort as the authors try to set a blue print for Cameroon's economy. In the 1980s facing economic crisis, and as dictated by the structural adjustment programme, Cameroon sharply cut public investment expenditures before later cutting government consumption which were followed by privatisation, liquidation of public companies and reduction in the size of the public sector. All these measures are believed to have had devastating effects on the economy. Given the performance of the economy so far the authors suggest that much more effort, with a strong commitment of the main stakeholders, is required to guarantee sustainable economic development in Cameroon. Truly, very few countries in Africa possess such enormous human and natural resources as Cameroon does. This volume brings out the challenges Cameroon faces in its quest for development as well as for designing appropriate strategies for addressing those development challenges.
Disturbing the Peace
(2008)
If Minna has a successful career, a loving husband, wonderful children - all well-deserved - is it compulsory that she must also toil for a reckless sister who has diametrically opposed priorities? Her biased mother thinks so. What if the sister dumps her child on Minna's veranda and vamooses and in trying to find the sister to give back her child, there appear some strange persons and a cult intended on grabbing the child? A decision has to be made and made fast. How could Minna ever envisage that in trying to help her careless sister and baby while taking care of her own family she would end up antagonising everyone in spite of her desperate battle to spread love to all? Just where are her priorities? How prepared is she for the unexpected conclusion to her simmering travails? Hell definitely breaks lose in this emotionally charged family saga in which Emmanuel Achu carves a world where such opposites as love and hate, sympathy and apathy, despair and hope, fear and courage, friendship and enmity reside as bedfellows. Disturbing the Peace is definitely a lyrical treat where you would be shocked to discover that being responsible can equate to being cursed.
Entwicklungsvölkerrecht
(2008)
Als einer von wenigen deutschen Völkerrechtlern hat sich Michael Bothe über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg mit Fragen der rechtlichen Gestaltung des Nord-Süd-Verhältnisses beschäftigt. Im Zentrum seines Interesses stand und steht dabei die nach wie vor ungelöste Frage nach der Rolle, die das Recht hier einnehmen kann; insbesondere ist weiterhin nicht ausgemacht, ob es in der Lage ist, mit der Aussicht auf Befolgung Regeln für die Lösung von Verteilungsfragen vorzugeben, aber auch eine Bindung der sogenannten Entwicklungsländer an Globalziele des Umweltschutzes und der Ressourcenerhaltung zu erreichen. Um sich einer Antwort nähern zu können muss es gelingen, die Bindungswirkung der auf diesem Feld seit jeher vagen, eher prinzipiellen und häufig nicht im Sinne des klassischen Völkerrechts verbindlichen Regeln mit juristischen Begriffen zu erfassen. Der Völkerrechtswissenschaft ist damit die Aufgabe gestellt, Rechtsbeziehungen des Nord-Süd-Verhältnisses in die Kategorien der Lehre von den Völkerrechtssubjekten, der Internationalen Organisationen, der Rechtsquellen und der Durchsetzung zu bringen.
