Africa Action:
NIGERIA: A STRATEGY OF EXTRACTION



For centuries, Western governments and business interests have viewed
the African continent as a source of natural resources ripe for
extraction. While states and other dominant actors in the global North
have made linking the exploitation of the region's unmatched natural
wealth to human development a public relations standard practice, the
economic benefits of mining and other resource industries still flow
overwhelmingly away from the African people. This study looks at oil in
the Niger Delta.

Mining Africa: South African MNCs labour and social performances



South African companies have capitalised on the changing political environment to become key investors in the rest of Africa. This report compares three South African multinational companies operating in the African region; Gold Fields (in Ghana and South Africa), Anglogold (in Namibia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe), and Metorex (in Zambia).

The primary focus of this report is on labour relations, labour conditions, restructuring, HIV/AIDS, health and safety, environmental issues, socially responsible investments, and other human rights issues.

African Labour Research Network (ALRN):
Gender and Labour Market Liberalisation in Africa


A number of African countries adopted and formulated structural adjustment policies with the assumption that the effects are gender-neutral. It is now generally acknowledged that women tend to suffer more and gain less from adjustment policies.

Seven labour research centres from seven African countries analysed the current economic and labour policies to see their impact on the labour force and the organised labour movement in general, and women in particular.

Ce document contient des arguments présentés par des dirigeants syndicaux et d'autres membres de divers mouvements sociaux. La conférence, un événement africain a produit une évaluation importante et a renforcé la contribution africaine du mouvement syndical au processus du développement africain et à la réponse mondiale au néo-libéralisme.

Mongo BETI: AFRICAINS SI VOUS PARLIEZ
Homnisphères, 2005

Quoi qu’en disent les radotages de vos théoriciens tiers-mondistes, Monsieur le Président de la République française, quoi qu’en disent les ethnologues d’un autre âge qui s’empressent autour de vous et assurent vous livrer l’âme noire toute nue, un peuple déshérité ne saurait transformer son présent ni conquérir son avenir sans élever la voix et même frapper du poing sur la table.

Dans les dispositions de l’Elysée à l’égard de l’Afrique, rien n’a changé ; c’est toujours le même choix, en faveur des dictateurs, contre les peuples. Les espérances politiques de nos peuples ont été le plus souvent soit trahies, soit mystifiées...

Les pouvoirs franco-africains organisent donc le vide, le silence morose, le côtoiement des individus, des groupes, des catégories, des ethnies, jamais leur dialogue et leur interpénétration, en un mot l’obscurantisme... Broyés par des institutions culturelles dont la fatalité est de nous aliéner, nous prétendons créer une littérature qui soit l’expression authentique de notre moi collectif.

From the slave trade to 'free' trade: How trade undermines democracy and justice in Africa

Grace, tenacity and eloquence. The struggle for women's rights in Africa
Published by Fahamu


The traditional perception of African women is that they face grinding poverty and harsh cultural, traditional and social prejudices. Yet while it is true that African women are not equal to men, this is only one part of the story.

For in Africa, women are fighting for their rights. And they are fighting with grace, tenacity and eloquence. The contributors describe how African women won a cross-continental campaign for a protocol to protect their rights. In a rich variety of articles, they consider topics such as: women and conflict, the impact of current US policies on women's health in Africa, women's rights in Islam, and the implications of the Jacob Zuma trial for women in South Africa.

Hashim Ibrahim Cabrera: Crisis de civilización y cambio de horizontes tras el fin de la historia

Hace un cuarto de siglo a alguien se le ocurrió decir que la historia se había acabado ya, que se habían agotado las narraciones capaces de hacerla creíble y construible. Desaparecieron los relatos que hasta ese momento habían proporcionado una cierta identidad colectiva, baluarte de referencias existenciales y gnoseológicas: aparecieron entonces como mito, como narración siempre ficticia, relativa e interesada. En ese final de siglo resultaba hasta cierto punto comprensible que la idea encontrase eco en las mentes más inquietas, y se filtrase en los debates académicos y en los análisis de los foros y revistas especializados, porque el siglo XX terminaba con el pensamiento moderno herido de muerte, con sus más fuertes mitos derruidos.

Fanny Colonna: Un regard aveuglé.
Anticléricalisme par excès d'humanisme universaliste en Algérie.

Il s'agit ici de réfléchir sur l'extrême difficulté, qui semble particulière au champ français, à penser l'islam, depuis sa rencontre en Algérie, au début du XIXe siècle. L'hypothèse centrale de cette confrontation est que le statut singulier de la religion en France depuis la Révolution française, plus précisément les liens très complexes que la naissance des sciences sociales au XIXe siècle entretient avec elle, obscurcit la vision de l'islam depuis ce moment et jusqu'à aujourd'hui.

Bassidiki COULIBALY: DU CRIME D'ETRE "NOIR": Un milliard de "Noirs" dans une prison identitaire

De quelle identité peut-on se prévaloir lorsqu'on est " Noir " et que
l'on s'appelle Toussaint Louverture, Ahmad Baba, Béhanzin, Malcolm X,
Elijah Muhammad, Aimé Césaire, Cheikh Anta Diop, Frantz Fanon, Edson
Arantes do Nascimiento alias Pelé, ou Nelson Mandela ? Des " Noirs ",
on en trouve sous tous les cieux, dans tous les pays, de toutes les
religions, à tous les niveaux des hiérarchies sociales. Mais peut-on
dire " les Noirs " comme s'il s'agissait d'une espèce à part, comme
s'il s'agissait d'un conglomérat d'individus tous identiques ?
D'ailleurs, qu'est-ce qu'un " Noir " ? Qu'est-ce qu'être " Noir " ?
Qui sont " les Noirs " ?
Après avoir payé par millions de vies pour le crime d'être " Noirs ",
les " Noirs " doivent encore payer aujourd'hui pour le même crime :
ils sont toujours " Noirs " ! De quoi rendre fou l'être humain le
plus zen, de quoi faire des " Noirs " les locataires désespérés d'une
prison identitaire.

Migration by the poor is a scorching issue in the world today - both inside their own countries and on the international scene, the world's poor are voting with their feet to escape poverty and make their bid for new lives in new places. Public anxiety is reaching fever pitch in the developed world, xenophobia is spreading, and governments everywhere are struggling to mobilize policies that will enable them to respond humanely and effectively to a rising human tide. How does Africa stand on migration?

Amady Aly Dieng: Hegel et l'Afrique Noire
Hegel était-il raciste?

Codesria, Dakar, 2004, 140 pages

Depuis 1978, la position de Hegel à l'égard de l'Afrique noire est très discutée. Le philosophe de Berlin a été traité de raciste. C'est l'opinion qui domine chez la plupart des chercheurs européens et africains. Mais une telle affirmation mérite d'être révisée à la suite de la thèse d'Etat soutenue en 1990 à l'Université de Paris I par un philosophe africain, Pierre Franklin Tavarès. La lecture attentive de cette thèse devrait amener beaucoup de chercheurs à nuancer leur pensée sur l'attitude de Hegel sur l'Afrique noire. " La question Hegel " en Afrique ou ce que Guy Planty-Bonjour appelle " les question africaines de l'hégélianisme " n'est pas seulement d'ordre théorique, mais également pratique.
Des historiens, des hommes de lettres, des hommes politiques, des sociologues et quelquefois, même des philosophes africains se sont dépêchés de traiter Hegel de raciste à la suite de leur seule lecture des Leçons de la philosophie de l'histoire qui est une oeuvre posthume publiée sur la base des notes de ses étudiants.

Par son ampleur et sa durée, son étendue dans l'espace (Afrique,
Europe, Amérique, Asie) mais aussi et surtout par ses conséquences,
la traite atlantique est une question capitale qui, au-delà du peuple
noir, concerne et interpelle la conscience humaine.
Légalisée par le Code noir de Colbert en 1685, soutenue par la
papauté, pensée, argumentée et justifiée par les philosophes des
Lumières, la traite atlantique érigea en système une économie-monde
capitaliste (avant l'heure) basée sur l'instinct de prédation,
l'appât du gain et le principe de chosification de l'Homme par
l'Homme.
Reconnus comme un crime contre l'humanité en France depuis 2001, la
traite négrière transatlantique et l'esclavage représentent une
lourde page de l'histoire de l'humanité et appellent un travail de
mémoire et de justice.

Naser I. Faruqui, Asit K. Biswas, and Murad J. Bino (eds.): Water management in Islam
IDRC/UNU Press 2001, 170 pp.

In the Middle East and North Africa, water is rapidly becoming the key development issue. In response, policymakers have proposed or tried to implement policies such as higher water tariffs or privatization, but have done so without considering local culture and values. Yet culture, including religion, clearly influences how people perceive and manage a resource such as water, and must be considered during policy development.

This book presents Islamic perspectives on a number of proposed water-management policies, including water demand management, wastewater reuse, and fair pricing. The book opens avenues for a wider dialogue amongst researchers working at identifying the most promising water management policies, adds to our knowledge of some of the influences on formal policy and informal practice, and makes these ideas available to a broader public. It dispels common misconceptions about the Islamic view on water-management practices, such as selling water and wastewater reuse, and serves as a concrete example of the benefit of examining development in the context of values and culture.

Feminist Africa

Feminist Africa is a publication of the African Gender Institute and the continental Feminist Studies Network. Initiated in 2001, and currently hosted at the African Gender Institute at the University of Cape Town, it is produced by an editorial team in conjunction with an international editorial advisory group drawn from the feminist scholarly community.

Feminist Africa is a unique forum for progressive, cutting-edge feminist intellectual dialogue and gender research on the African continent. It offers a space for theoretical and strategic debates that challenge the prevailing technocratic approaches to global development, and the reductionism of economic and policy approaches that neglect the lived realities, ingenuity and cultural production of Africa's diverse and dynamic peoples. Feminist Africa challenges the shared continental history of exploitation and marginalisation by attending to the complex cultures of resistance and local strategy that characterise the postcolonial era, while at the same time remaining attentive to the shifting global geopolitical configurations of power.

This is a major contribution to the literature on transitional justice and conflict resolution.

Jean-Paul Gouteux: Un génocide sans importance. La Françafrique au Rwanda
(Tahin Party, 2001)

Le génocide rwandais, plus d'un million de morts d'avril à juin 1994, reste environné de ce flou qui caractérise, pour l'opinion publique, la politique française en Afrique.
Comme si les massacres sur le continent noir étaient des événements endémiques inévitables et incompréhensibles.
Au contraire, ce génocide n'a été ni spontané ni imprévisible, mais il a bien été préparé et organisé, tant en France qu'au Rwanda.
Pour la Françafrique, tous les moyens sont bons pour garder le contrôle de l'Afrique.
Et ce million de meurtres n'aurait pas eu lieu sans le soutien indéfectible des décideurs français, militaires et politiques, jusqu'au plus haut échelon de l'Etat.
Nous connaissons ces criminels français: ce sont nos élus.
Ce livre, paru en juin 2001, est malheureusement épuisé mais reste téléchargeable.

Adrian Hadland (ed.): Changing the Fourth Estate: Essays on South African journalism

HSRC Press, South Africa, 2005, 256pp


South African journalism has been fortunate in recent decades to have editors, writers and practitioners of the highest order working within its ranks. Some, like radio talk show host John Perlman and cartoonist Zapiro, are household names. Others are less well-known, but work quietly and effectively behind the scenes, bringing years of experience and skill to bear on their art. Until the publication of this book, few have taken the time to sit down and spell out the do's and don'ts of their particular specialty, gained often after a lifetime of trial and error.

HSRC Press, South Africa, 2006, 232pp



The introduction of a quality, accessible local television network represents the final piece in post-apartheid South Africa's media jigsaw. With legislation and policy now in place, the fitting of the last piece is imminent. The race is now on to develop models and fine-tune systems that will make the most powerfully democratic tier of broadcast media sustainable, empowering and development friendly.

Jouvert: a journal of postcolonial studies


Jouvert is a refereed, multi-disciplinary journal published online tri-annually. It thus offers a widely accessible--indeed, international--forum for the interrogation of textual, cultural and political postcolonialisms. While we do not conceive of the journal as a means to homogenize a necessarily and productively diverse field of study, we do think that Jouvert can stage discussions spanning different cultural locations and theoretical interests. If these discussions seek to displace the "colonial" as master signifier, they also recognize the persistent power of neocolonial practices, the continuing need for alternate discourses, and the increasingly complex intersections of race, class, gender and nation.
