In the past decade, South African economic performance has been so poor that is has resulted in declining per capita incomes.</p><p>In this study, Vusi Gumede and his co-authors offer a comprehensive analysis of the South African economy since 1994, dealing with many important issues, ranging from its history to its political travails in an effort to provide better understanding and find possible solutions to ensuring inclusive growth.</p>

Covid-19 In Africa: Societal And Economic Implications

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 <p>Written amidst the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, this edited volume draws on the expertise of social scientists and humanities scholars to understand the many ramifications of Covid-19 on societies, politics, and the economies of Africa. The contributors examine measures, communicative practices, and experiences that have guided the (inter)action of governments, societies, and citizens in this unpredictable moment. Covid-19 tested governments’ disaster preparedness as well as exposed governments’ attitudes towards the poor and vulnerable. In the same vein, it also tested the agency of the African populace in the face of containment measures and their impact on everyday social, cultural, and economic practices of ordinary people. In this vein, our concern is to understand the relationship between growing vulnerability on the one hand, and ingenuity of agency on the other, and how both were embodied, narrated and discoursed by the African poor, university students, religious entities, middle-classes, and those who bore the major brunt of the lockdowns.</p><p>The volume is thus a useful resource for scholars of Africa, policy makers and those who want to understand Covid-19 in Africa. It provides a multiplicity of perspectives of the pandemic and African responses at different levels of society, economy and the political spectrum. The continental focus of this volume gives room for broader comparative analyses. Lastly, this interdisciplinary work benefits from the input of medical historians, anthropologists, sociologists, linguists, political scientists, literature scholars, urban planners, geographers and others.</p><div><br></div>

Home And Nation In Anglophone Autobiographies Of Africa

by Lena Englund

132,49€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This book looks at contemporary autobiographical works by writers with African backgrounds in relation to the idea of ‘place’. It examines eight authors’ works - Helen Cooper’s <em>The House at Sugar Beach</em>, Sisonke Msimang’s <em>Always Another Country</em>, Leila Ahmed’s <em>A Border Passage</em>, Noo Saro-Wiwa’s <em>Looking for Transwonderland</em>, Douglas Rogers’s <em>The Last Resort</em>, Elamin Abdelmahmoud’s <em>Son of Elsewhere</em>, Clemantine Wamariya and Elizabeth Weil’s <em>The Girl Who Smiled Beads</em> and Aminatta Forna’s autobiographical writing - to argue that place is particularly central to personal narrative in texts whose authors have migrated multiple times. Spanning Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Egypt, Rwanda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, this book interrogates the label ‘African’ writing which has been criticized for ignoring local contexts. It demonstrates how in their works these writers seek to reconnect with a bygone ‘Africa’, often after complex experiences of political upheavals and personal loss. The chapters also provide in-depth analyses of key concepts related to place and autobiography: place and privilege, place and trauma, and the relationship between place and nation.</p>

Covid-19 tested governments’ disaster preparedness as well as exposed governments’ attitudes towards the poor and vulnerable.

The contributors thus examine the regional dimension of the crisis and particularly evaluate how covid-19 tested the resilience of multilateralism, regional trade networks, cross border informal economies, and human movements.</div><div><br></div>The volume is thus a useful resource for scholars of Africa, policy makers and those who want to understand Covid-19 in Africa.

African Battle Traditions Of Insult - Verbal Arts, Song-Poetry, And Performance

184,84€ + 10% CARD

 This book explores the "battles" of words, songs, poetry, and performance in Africa and the African Diaspora. These are usually highly competitive, artistic contests in which rival parties duel for supremacy in poetry composition and/or its performance. This volume covers the history of this battle tradition, from its origins in Africa, especially the udje and halo of the Urhobo and Ewe respectively, to its transportation to the Americas and the Caribbean region during the Atlantic slave trade period, and its modern and contemporary manifestations as battle rap or other forms of popular music in Africa. Almost everywhere there are contemporary manifestations of the more traditional, older genres. The book is thus made up of studies of contests in which rivals duel for supremacy in verbal arts, song-poetry, and performance as they display their wit, sense of humor, and poetic expertise.
