We Can: Black Politics in Cradock, South Africa 1948-1985
Item type: Books • Author: Michael S. TetelmanThe author demonstrates the general tensions that dogged activists in the liberation struggle from the 1930s through the 1980s; how sport, church, education and beer hall recreation were used for different political outcomes. He shows how youth incrementally pushed the struggle to higher levels of intensity. There is a moment, about 1983-84, in We Can, when charismatic Cradock teacher-activist Matthew Goniwe managed to get African clergy, youth, and elite to transcend their differences. But a complex youth-based grassroots movement, in various communities guises, as well as a militarized response from the apartheid state, set the agenda for a new South Africa by this time. Tetelman's book adds significant value to South Africa's protest literature. It enhances our understanding of the complexity of struggle at local level, and it fleshes out our national narrative. -

Nation, power and dissidence in third generation Nigerian poetry in English
Item type: Books • Author: Sule E. EgyaNation, Power and Dissidence in Third Generation Nigerian Poetry in English is a theoretical and analytical survey of the poetry that emerged in Nigeria in the 1980s.

White Narratives: The depiction of post-2000 land invasions in Zimbabwe
Item type: Books • Author: Irikidzayi ManaseThe post-2000 period in Zimbabwe saw the launch of a fast track land reform programme, resulting in a flurry of accounts from white Zimbabweans about how they saw the land, the land invasions, and their own sense of belonging and identity. In White Narratives, Irikidzayi Manase engages with this fervent output of texts seeking definition of experiences, conflicts and ambiguities arising from the land invasions. He takes us through his study of texts selected from the memoirs, fictional and non-fictional accounts of white farmers and other displaced white narrators on the post-2000 Zimbabwe land invasions, scrutinising divisions between white and black in terms of both current and historical ideology, society and spatial relationships. He examines how the revisionist politics of the Zimbabwean government influenced the politics of identities and race categories during the period 2000–2008, and posits some solutions to the contestations for land and belonging. -

However, the author’s fieldwork for this book uncovered evidence of the resilience of Africa’s endogenous epistemologies. -

Retracing the epistemic thread in the fabric of Shona culture and philosophy, he explores the assumptions that inform their thinking. The exchange of such knowledge is fundamental to the future of humanity. -

Yabbing and Wording: The artistry of Nigerian stand-up comedy
Item type: Books • Author: Izuu NwankwọYabbing and Wording: The artistry of Nigerian stand-up comedy is a long-overdue academic interrogation of the novel stand-up practice in Nigeria as performance. ‘Yabbing’ comes from the Nigerian Pidgin English verb, ‘yab’, which means a satirical jibe thrown at individuals, groups or institutions. Nigeria’s Fela Anikulapo-Kuti used this effectively in his recorded and live music performances against successive military regimes. ‘Wording’ derives from the English term ‘word’ and refers to a game in which parties exchange insults. It is a modern-day coinage for traditional forms of joking that existed across Nigeria and elsewhere in precolonial times. -

Beyond Monuments: The politics and poetics of memory in post-war northern Uganda
Item type: Books • Author: Laury L. OcenBeyond Monuments: The politics and poetics of memory in post-war northern Uganda explores themes of war and peace, displacement and return, and remembering and forgetting, depicted as experiences of survivors of mass violence in the northern Uganda civil wars between 1987 and 2006. Presented as dichotomies marking key transitional moments negotiated by NGOs, governments, and post-war communities in northern Uganda, the analysis of these themes emphasises how ordinary survivors of war make claims – through oral performances, memoirs, reminiscences, and place and personal names – that foreground memories threatened with amnesia, resulting from state and NGO driven commemorations. -
Music and urban youth identities: A study of ghetto youth in contemporary culture and politics in Zimbabwe
Item type: Books • Author: Doreen Rumbidzai TivengaWhen the Zimbabwean government imposed the 75% local content policy in 2001, young people began dominating the music scene, marking a dramatic turn in the history of Zimbabwean music and entertainment. Doreen Rumbidzai Tivenga’s Music and Urban Youth Identities: A study of ghetto youth identities in contemporary culture and politics in Zimbabwe traces how the stipulation of the local content quota coincided with the post-2000 political and economic crises in Zimbabwe that pushed youth, especially those from low-income backgrounds – the ‘ghetto youth’ – to the margins of the country’s economy. -
Politics, Profits and Protection: Zimbabwe’s tobacco industry since 1947
Item type: Books • Author: Sibanengi NcubeThe book uses the case of Zimbabwe’s tobacco industry to situate white settler agriculture in the broader context of post-Second World War British imperial policy and, to an extent, American foreign economic policy, decolonisation, and global tobacco trade politics. It concludes by highlighting policy continuities and discontinuities across the colonial-postcolonial divide. By pursuing these matters, the book makes a significant contribution to Zimbabwe’s economic history and to the growing literature on settler-colonial and postcolonial studies, with broader implications for regional and international trade debates. To achieve this, it draws on an extensive coverage of archives in Zimbabwe and South Africa, coupled with relevant newspaper reports, interviews, and industry publications. -

Living with ‘Others’: Ethnic conflict and pluralism in Uganda’s Greater Kibaale Region
Item type: Books • Author: Jimmy Spire SsentongoKibaale region in Uganda provides an interesting case study where periods of conflict between the ‘indigenous’ people (the Banyoro) and ‘immigrants’ (the Bafuruki) have been interspersed with instances of coexistence. Whereas much scholarly work has discussed episodes of tension and conflict, the moments of peace have scarcely been touched upon. Living with ‘Others’: Ethnic Conflict and Pluralism in Uganda's Greater Kibaale Region contributes to ethnicity debates by exploring how the people of Kibaale imagine and live out possibilities for coexistence. In do so, Living with ‘Others’ makes a contribution to theories of ethnic pluralism and practical imaginations of coexistence in Kibaale. These can be applied to the rest of Uganda, Africa and elsewhere in the world where inter-ethnic conflicts have disrupted peace and resulted in human suffering. -
A Powerhouse of the Spirit: The Life and Art of Sister Margaret Watson of Grahamstown
Item type: Books • Author: William BarhamA Powerhouse of the Spirit tells the story of a remarkable woman, Margaret Watson, who left her conventionally middle-class home in England to join an Anglican sisterhood in Grahamstown (now known as Makhanda) in what was then the Cape Colony at the start of the twentieth century. This extraordinary community of inspiring women engaged themselves in educational and caring work among young people of all races in South Africa.

Her work as a painter, whose vision was nourished by her inner life, is becoming increasingly recognised and appreciated.
