Ethnicity and the making of history in northern Ghana by
Carola Lentz(
)
9 editions published in 2006 in English and held by 1,708 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Drawing on two decades of research this social and political history of North-Western Ghana traces the creation of new ethnic and territorial boundaries, categories and forms of self-understanding, and represents a major contribution to debates on ethnicity, colonialism and the 'production of history'. It explores the creation and redefinition of ethnic distinctions and commonalities by African and European actors, showing that ethnicity's power derives from a contradiction: while ethnic identities purport to be non-negotiable, creating permanent bonds, stability and security, the boundaries of the communities created and the associated traits and practices are malleable and adaptable to specific interests and contexts."--Jacket

Struggles for citizenship in Africa by
Bronwen Manby(
)
7 editions published between 2009 and 2013 in English and held by 1,407 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This book discusses the hundreds of thousands living as non-persons in the only African state they have ever known. Not recognized as citizens, they have no access to education, state health services, travel documents, or employment without a work permit. Most of all, they cannot vote, stand for office, or work for state institutions. Ultimately such policies can lead to disaster or war. The conflicts in Côte d'Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo are at heart conflicts over the rights of divided populations to share fully the rights and duties of citizenship

Getting Somalia wrong? : faith, war and hope in a shattered state by
Mary Harper(
)
5 editions published in 2012 in English and held by 1,397 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Presents a comprehensive account of the chaos into which Somalia has descended and the United States' renewed involvement there. Harper argues that viewing Somalia through the prism of al-Qaeda risks further destabilizing the country and the entire Horn of Africa, while also showing that though the country may be a failed state, it is far from being a failed society. In reality, alternative forms of business, justice, education and local politics have survived and even flourished. The author contends that until the international community starts to 'get it right' the consequences will be devastating, not just for Somalia, but for the world. --Adapted from publisher description

Africa's odious debts : how foreign loans and capital flight bled a continent by
Léonce Ndikumana(
)
6 editions published in 2011 in English and held by 1,288 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Africa's Odious Debts explodes the myth that Africa is a drain on the West's finances, revealing that the continent is actually a net creditor to the rest of the world. Of the money borrowed by African governments, more than half departs in the same year, with a significant portion of it winding up in private accounts at the very banks that provide the loans. Meanwhile, debt-servicing means less money for public health and other needs. Revealing the intimate links between foreign loans and capital flight, this is a vital book for anyone interested in Africa, its future and its relationship with the West."--Page 4 of cover

China in Africa by
Chris Alden(
)
7 editions published between 2007 and 2009 in English and held by 1,243 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Nowhere in the world is China?s rapid rise to power more evident than in Africa. From multi-billion dollar investments in oil and minerals to the influx of thousands of merchants, labourers and cheap consumer goods, China?s economic and political reach is redefining Africa?s traditional ties with the international community. This book investigates the emerging relationship between China and Africa to determine whether this engagement will be that of a development partner, economic competitor or new hegemon. Alden argues that in order to understand Chinese involvement on the continent, we need

Victor W Turner(
Book
)
10 editions published between 1968 and 1981 in English and held by 774 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In this study of the Ndembu of Zambia, ritual is examined under two aspects: as a regulator of social relations over time and as a system of symbols. Social life is thereby given direction and meaning. An extended case-study of a series of ritual performances in the life of a single village community is analysed in order to estimate the effects of participation in these symbolic events on its component groups and personalities
