    "AT PENPOINT aims to rewrite the story of postcolonial African literary and cultural production as one profoundly influenced by the Cold War. Monica Popescu shows how postcolonial studies of African literature have too often neglected the key institutional and aesthetic influence asserted by Soviet agents, and the resulting overlapping imperalisms African writers and creators worked within and contested during the second half of the twentieth century. Popescu's analysis attends to the myriad ways in which the tension between the United States and the USSR played out in the intellectual and aesthetic clashes among Third World intellectuals as well as on the battlefields of the proxy conflicts (specifically, the war in Angola) and experiments in African-style socialism that spread across the continent. Informed by several intellectual projects that have similarly brought postcolonial studies and the history of the Cold War together, Popescu traces a new cartography of cultural communication and meaning-making apart from a Western intellectual history and reinvigorates a leftist critique of imperialism too often occluded by postcolonial studies. Popescu uses her focus on the Cold War both to reassess familiar works from the era, such as Ayi Kwei Armah's The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born as well as to shine light on previously un- or under-studied publications made newly relevant, including Lotus, the journal of the Afro-Asian Writers' Alliance. The book is divided into two parts; the first providing the historical and theoretical framing for the latter's analysis. Chapter 2 in part I introduces Popescu's theory of "aesthetic world systems" in order to frame an alternative aesthetic system set up by the Soviet Union to sway intellectuals disenchanted with Western thought to align their work to the norms and aesthetic values of a Soviet ideology. Popescu illustrates this tension evident in African literature by analyzing both how African writers debated the definitions and functions of realism and modernism within Cold War parameters as well as how the aesthetic prerogatives of both the US and the USSR rendered entire corpuses of Third World texts illegible and invisible. The book's second part takes up more specific works of literature, expanding African literary history by rearticulating connections between texts and contexts.

    Die Wirtschaftskrise hat in den südeuropäischen Ländern neue Migrationstrends in Gang gesetzt. In Portugal ging die Migration nach der Krise vor allem in zwei Richtungen: nach Norden in die wohlhabenderen europäischen Länder und nach Süden in die ehemaligen portugiesischen Kolonien in Afrika - vor allem in das ölproduzierende Angola. Der Migration aus dem globalen Norden in den globalen Süden wurde in den Migrationstheorien bislang wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Der Autor argumentiert, dass die portugiesische Migration nach Angola nicht nur als Folge der Wirtschaftskrise verstanden werden sollte, sondern auch als ein komplexes Geflecht von Überschneidungen im Kontext der portugiesischen Kultur, des sprachlichen Erbe in Angola, von familiären Netzwerken, Diskursen, Mythen und kolonialer Macht The economic crisis set in motion new migration trends in southern European countries. In Portugal, post-crisis migration has occurred in two main directions: northwards to more prosperous European countries and southwards to former Portuguese colonies in Africa—notably oil-producing Angola. Migration from the Global North to the Global South has received little attention in migration theories. In this study, the author argues that Portuguese migration to Angola should be understood not only as a result of the economic crisis, but also as a complex web of intersections in the context of Portuguese culture, Portugal’s linguistic heritage in Angola, family networks, discourses, myths and colonial power

    'Voices of Fashion' gaat in op de witte blik waarmee decennialang mode is gepresenteerd, gedragen en verzameld. Op basis van jarenlang onderzoek door personen van diverse ras en kleur, moeten we constateren dat de gevolgen van het koloniale verleden tot op de dag van vandaag doorwerken, óók in de modesystemen. 'Voices of Fashion' weerspiegelt de weinig vertelde verhalen via persoonlijke bijdragen van ontwerpers, kunstenaars en modellen uit binnen- en buitenland. Het boek staat vol met interviews, verhalen en uniek beeldmateriaal van inspirerende en toonaangevende personen uit de modewereld. "Black people zijn de "Curators of Cool", wordt regelmatig gezegd, maar dat wordt lang niet altijd erkend of herkend waar het ertoe doet. Dat heeft alles te maken met macht en historie. Het [boek] is een viering van black beauty, talent en cultuur, die hopelijk tot nadenken stemt en modellen en ontwerpers de credits geeft die ze verdienen." Janica Deul, co-curator en oprichter van Diversity Rules. Exhibition: Centraal Museum, Utrecht, The Netherlands (13.02. - 24.05.2021)

    "This book scrutinizes fictional work from West, East and Southern African writers including Ayi Kwei Armah, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Nuruddin Farah, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Michiel Heyns and J. M. Coetzee. The author contextualizes each writer's novels in their cultural and literary context in order to investigate similarities and differences between fictional approaches to individual complicity in politically unstable nations. The author focuses on works that eschew narrative structures through which a political order is offered as a clear enemy and distanced from the fictional characters, and instead represent social and political turmoil as a force that implicates individuals in one way or another, thus becoming capable of bringing notions of individual agency and responsibility into politically difficult situations. Through this framework, the book understands literary resistance movements as arising from and being embedded in their surrounding cultural contexts. Acknowledging the interplay between complicity and commitment enables new forms of shared cultural responsibility to emerge"--

    "Narrating Human Rights in Africa claims human rights from the perspective of artists from the African continent and situates the key theoretical concepts in African perspectives, undercutting the stereotypes of victimhood and voicelessness. Instead of positioning literary texts as illustrative of points already theorized elsewhere, the author foregrounds the literature itself to show the concepts it offers, the ideas and responses stemming from complex historical circumstances in Africa and expressed by African writers. The book focuses on how narrative creates new categories of thought challenging human rights dogma, whereas the sum of the literary voices evoked also stands by the values of social justice and protection of human rights. The chapters take up key challenges to the narration of human rights in which the contribution of African writers is particularly important. This includes human dignity in the resistance to apartheid, the figure of the child soldier, how humanitarianism's images affect representational strategies of contemporary African writers, the challenge of testifying about rape in war, how to evoke the disappeared body of the torture victim, the centrality of flight in the refugee and migrant experiences, and finally the long shadow of the "heart of darkness" motif. Offering a sustained examination of the narrative treatment of key human rights concerns as expressed by African writers, this book will be of interest to scholars of African literature, postcolonial studies, and African studies."--

    "This innovative book looks at the topic of migration through the prism of law and literature. The author uses a rich mix of novels, short stories, literary realism, human rights and comparative literature to explore the experiences of African migrants and asylum seekers. The book is divided into two. Part one is conceptual and focuses on art activism and the myriad ways in which people have sought to 'write justice.' Using Mamdani's diasporas of slavery and colonialism, it then considers histories of migration across the centuries before honing in on the recent anti-migration policies of western states. Achiume is used to show how these histories of imposition and exploitation create a bond which bestows on Africans a "status as co-sovereigns of the First World through citizenship." The many fictional examples of the schemes used to gain entry are set against the formal legal processes. Attention is paid to life post arrival which for asylum seekers may include periods in detention. The impact of the increased hostility of receiving states is examined in light of their human rights obligations. Consideration is paid to how Africans navigate their post-migration lives which includes reconciling themselves to status fracture-taking on jobs for which they are over-qualified, while simultaneously dealing with the resentment borne of status threat on the part of the citizenry. Part two moves from the general to consider the intersections of gender and status focusing on women, LGBTI individuals and children. Focusing on their human rights and the fictional literature, chapter four looks at women who have been trafficked as well as domestic workers and hotel maids while chapter five is on LGBTI people whose legal and literary stories are only now being told. The final substantive chapter considers the experiences of children who may arrive as unaccompanied minors. Using a mixture of poetry and first person accounts, the chapter examines the post-arrival lives of children, some of whom may be citizens but who are continually made to feel like outsiders. The conclusion follows, starting with two stories about walls by Hadero and Lanchester which are used to illustrate the themes discussed in the book. Few African lawyers write about literature and few books and articles in Western law and literature look at books by or about Africans, so a book that engages with both is long overdue. Fascinating reading for academics, law, literature, gender and migration students, policy-makers and indeed the general public"--

    "Tracing the intersections between archival documents and immensely popular adventure fiction set in Africa, Penetrating Critiques highlights the anxieties surrounding the vulnerability of the white male body by assessing the destabilization of narrative itself. The author considers texts ranging from private letters, governmental correspondence, periodicals, and archives to the popular works of H. Rider Haggard, Richard Marsh, and Joseph Conrad. These texts trouble the notions of bounded male bodies, impermeable histories, and solid virtues while underscoring the grotesqueness of male forms, narratives, and moralities. Although dominant representations of martial bodies frequently emphasized boundaries, containment, and solidity, the fiction and imperial archives explored in this book expose problems of stability through tropes, images, and material evidence of perforation, penetration, and dissolution. In emphasizing the relationship between institutional imperial writing and popular discourse, Penetrating Critiques reveals that more complex, fraught, and critical approaches to imperialism and masculinity were circulating throughout Victorian culture than previously recognized."

This text will help students understand the historical process out of which Africa's position in the world has emerged. Bridging the divide between colonial and post-colonial history, it allows readers to see just what political independence did and did not signify and how men and women, peasants and workers, religious leaders and local leaders sought to refashion the way they lived, worked, and interacted with each other
