poet of the twentiethcentury was killed inSeptember 1967,ghting for theindependence ofBiafra The Sunday Timesdescribed his death asthe single most
important tragedy of the Nigerian ciil warThe manner in which Okigbo died typied thepassionate, tortured and dramatic quality ofhis life Widely considered along with WoleSoyinka and Chinua Achebe as part of modern
Nigerias greatest literary triumirate, Okigbosdeath promoted him to cult status amongsubsequent generations of African writers
This is the rst full biography of the Nigerianpoet It places Okigbo within the turmoil ofhis generation and illustrates the aspects ofhis life that gae rise to such an intense poetryHow did his experience in the prestigious,English-type boarding school, Umuahia, wherehe was known more as a sportsman than ascholar, inuence his life and later choices?Why was he sacked from the colonial serice,and how did that lead him towards a search forpriate recoery, and ultimately towards poetry?What led him to take up arms? In other words,how did his eclectic pursuits as high schoolteacher, uniersity librarian, publisher, gun-runner and guerrilla fuel his poetic drie?

Do Bicycles Equal
Development in Mozambique?
JOSEPH HANLON & TERESA SMART
Is Mozambique an
African success story?It has 7 percent ayear growth rate andsubstantial foreigninestment Seenteenyears after the warof destabilisation,the peace has heldMozambique is thedonors model pupil,
carefully following their prescriptions andreceiing more than a billion dollars a yearin aid The number of bicycles has doubledand this is often cited as the symbol ofdeelopment
In this book the authors challenge somekey assumptions of both the donors andthe goernment and ask questions such aswhether there has been too much stress onthe Millennium Deelopment Goals and toolittle support for economic deelopment; ifit makes sense to target the poorest of thepoor, or would it be better to target those whocreate the jobs which will employ the poor;whether there has been too much emphasis on
foreign inestment and too little on deelopingdomestic capital; and if the priate sector reallywill end poerty, or must there be a strongerrole for the state in the economy?
This book is about more than MozambiqueMozambique is an apparent success story thatis used to justify the present post-Washingtonconsensus deelopment model Here, the caseof Mozambique is situated within the broaderdeelopment debate

Identity Economics
Social Networks and the
Informal Economy in NigeriaKATE MEAGHER
Why hae informalenterprise networks failed
to promote economicdeelopment in Africa?Although social networkswere thought to oer asolution to stateincapacity and marketfailure, the proliferationof socially embeddedenterprise networksacross Africa has
generated disorder and economic decline rather thandeelopment This book challenges the preailingassumption that the problem of Africandeelopment lies in bad cultural institutions by
showing that informal economic goernance inNigeria is shaped, not just by culture, but by thedisruptie eects of rapid liberalization, statedecline and political capture
Identity Economicstraces the rise of two dynamicinformal enterprise clusters in Nigeria, and explorestheir slide into trajectories of Pentecostalism,poerty and iolent igilantism Drawing on oertwenty years of empirical research on Africaninformal economies, the author highlights theinstitutional legacies, networking strategies andglobalizing dynamics that shape the regulatoryrole of social networks in Africas largest and mostturbulent economy Through an ethnography of
informal economic goernance, this book showshow ties of ethnicity, class, gender and religion areused to restructure enterprise networks in responseto contemporary economic challenges Moingbeyond primordialist interpretations of Africanculture, attention is drawn to the critical role of thestate and the macro-economic policy enironmentin shaping trajectories of informal economicgoernance

Prison MemoirJACK MAPANJE
In 1981 Jack Mapanje was a budding poetand scholar in Malawi His rst collectionof poetry, Of Chameleons and Godshad justbeen published and reiewers were alreadyhailing it as the work of a new and importantAfrican oice His scholarly work in linguisticswas also transforming language and literarystudies in Central Africa and drawinginternational attention to the works ofwriters and critics from the region Mapanjespoetry was remarkable not only because ofhis keen sense of sound and place, but also
its tense relationship with its context: herewas a compelling lyrical oice, producing amusical and touching erse in a country thatwas under the iron heel of a self-proclaimeddictator and life-president, Kamuzu Banda,Ngwazi That Mapanje had been able to writesuch powerful poetry under ocial rules ofcensorship was a remarkable feat But twoyears later, the state ordered the withdrawal ofMapanjes poetry from all schools, institutionsof higher learning, and bookstores In 1987,after attending a regional language conferencein Zimbabwe, Mapanje was arrested by the
Malawian secret police and bundled o toprison where he was to stay under lock andkey, without any formal charges, until 1991This book is a recollection of those years inprison Written in the tradition of the Africanprison memoir, and often echoing the worksof other famous prison graduates such as WoleSoyinka (The Man Died) and Ngugi wa Thiongo(Detained), the memoir represents Mapanjesretrospectie attempt to explain the causeand terms of his imprisonment, to recall, intranquillity as it were, the terror of arrest, theprocess of incarceration, and the daily struggle
to hold on to some measure of spiritualfreedom - Simon Gikandi, Professor of

Domesticating Vigilantism
in Africa
EDITED BY THOMAS G KIRSCH& TILO GRTZ
Self-justice and legalself-help groups haebeen gainingimportancethroughout AfricaThe question of whois entitled to formulatelegal principles, enactjustice, policemorality and sanctionwrongdoings has
increasingly become a subject of controersyand conict These conicts focus on thestrained relationship between state soereigntyand citizens self-determination More
particularly, they concern the conditions,modes and means of the legitimate executionof power, and in this olume are seen as adiagnostics as to how social actors in Africadebate and practise socio-political order
State agencies try to bring igilante groupsunder control by channelling their actiities,repressing them, or using them for theirown interests vigilante groups usually muststruggle for recognition and acceptance inlocal socio-political spheres As seeral of thecontributions in the olume show, legal self-help groups in Africa therefore domesticatethemseles by, among other things, seekinglegitimation, engaging in publicly acceptablenon-igilante actiities, or institutionalizingwhat often began as a rather unrestrained anddisorderly social moement

of politics? In the post-colonial, post-apartheid, neo-liberal new South Africa poorand marginalised citizens continue to strugglefor land, housing and health care They mustrespond to uncertainty and radicalcontingencies on a daily basis This requiresmultiple strategies, an engaged, practisedcitizenship, one that links the daily struggle towell organised mobilisation around claimingrights Robins argues for the continuedimportance of NGOs, social moements andother ciil society actors in creating new formsof citizenship and democracy He goes beyond
the sanitised prescriptions of good goernanceso often touted by deelopment agenciesInstead he argues for a complex, hybrid andambiguous relationship between ciil societyand the state, where new negotiations aroundcitizenship emerge

Land rights are about relationships betweenand among persons, pertaining to dierenteconomic and ritual actiities Rights to landare intimately tied to membership in speciccommunities, from the family to the nation-state Control oer land in Africa has been,and still is, used as a means of dening identityand belonging, an instrument to control, anda source of, political power Membership ofthese communities is contested, negotiable, andchangeable oer time For national goernmentsland is a national economic resource for publicand priate deelopment, but the interests and

POLITI CAL HISTORY
Zimbabwes Land Reform
Myths and RealitiesIAN SCOONES et al
Ten years after the landinasions of 2000, thisbook proides the rst
full account of theconsequences of thesedramatic eents Thisland reformoerturned a century-old pattern of landuse, one dominated bya small group of
large-scale commercial farmers, many of whomwere white But what replaced it?
This book challenges e myths through theexamination of the eld data from Masingoproince:
Myth 1 Zimbabwean land reform has been atotal failure
Myth 2 The beneciaries of Zimbabwean landreform hae been largely political cronies
Myth 3 There is no inestment in the newresettlements
Myth 4 Agriculture is in complete ruinscreating chronic food insecurity
Myth 5 The rural economy has collapsed
By challenging these myths, and suggesting
alternatie policy narraties, this book presentsthe story as it has been obsered on theground: warts and all What comes throughery strongly is the complexity, the dierences,almost farm by farm: there is no single,simple story of the Zimbabwe land reform assometimes assumed by press reports, politicalcommentators, or indeed much academic study

TIMOTHY STAPLETON
Making use of archial
documents, periodnewspapers, and oralinteriews,African Policeand Soldiers in ColonialZimbabweexamines theambiguous experienceof black securitypersonnel, police, andsoldiers in white-ruled
Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from1923 through independence and majority rulein 1980 Across the continent, Europeancolonial rule could not hae been maintained
without African participation in the police andarmy In Southern Rhodesia, lack of whitemanpower meant that despite fear of mutiny,blacks played an increasingly prominent role inlaw enforcement and military operations, andfrom World War II constituted a strongmajority within the regular security forces
Despite danger, Africans olunteered forthe police and army for a ariety of reasonsincluding the prestige of wearing a uniform,the possibility of excitement, family traditions,material considerations, and patriotism As
black police and soldiers were called upon toperform more specialized tasks, they acquiredgreater education and some - particularlyAfrican police - became part of the emergingwesternized African middle class Afterretirement, career African police and soldiersoften continued to work in the security eld,some becoming prominent entrepreneurs orcommercial farmers, and generally composed aconseratie, loyalist element in African societythat the goernment eentually mobilized tocounter the growth of African nationalismTim Stapleton here mines rich archial sources
to clarify the complicated dynamic and legacyof black military personal who sered duringcolonial rule in present-day Zimbabwe

It draws on archial sources from threecontinents and oral testimonies gathered oer aten-year period proided by those who liedthese eents Power narrates how anti-colonialprotest was made releant to the Africanmajority through the painstaking engagementof politicians in local grieances and struggles,which they then linked to the ght againstwhite settler domination in the guise of theCentral African Federation She also exploreshow Doctor Banda (leader of independentMalawi for thirty years), the Nyasaland AfricanCongress, and its successor, the MalawiCongress Party, functioned within thispolitical culture, and how the MCP became aformidable political machine Central to this
process was the deployment of women andyouth to cut across parochial politics andconsolidate a broad base of support No lessimportant was the deliberate manipulation ofhistory and the use of rumor and innuendo,symbol and pageantry, persecution and rewardIt was this mix that made people both acceptand reject the MCP regime, sometimessimultaneously

Nigeria, Nationalism,

TOYIN FALOLA & SAHEED ADERINTO
The second half of the
twentieth century sawthe publication ofmassie amounts ofliterature on Nigeria byNigerian and non-Nigerian historiansThis olume reects onthat literature, focusingon those works byNigerians in the context
of the rise and decline of African nationalisthistoriography Gien the diminishing share in theglobal output of literature on Africa by African
historians, it has become crucial to reintroduceAfricans into historical writing about Africa Asthe authors attempt here to rescue older oices,they also rehabilitate a stale historiography byreisiting the issues, ideas, and moments thatproduced it This reialism also challengesNigerian historians of the twenty-rst century tostudy the nation in new ways, to comprehend itsmodernity, and to frame a new set of questionson Nigerias future and globalization
In spite of current problems in Nigeria and itsuniersities, that historical scholarship on Nigeria(and by extension, Africa) has come of age is
indisputable From a country that struggled forWestern academic recognition in the 1950s toone that by the 1980s had emerged as one ofthe most studied countries in Africa, Nigeria isnot only one of the early birthplaces of modernAfrican history, but has also produced membersof the rst generation of African historians whosecontributions to the deelopment and expansionof modern African history is undeniable Liketheir counterparts working on other parts of theworld, these scholars hae been sensitie to theneed to explore irtually all aspects of Nigerianhistory The book highlights the careers of someof Nigerias notable historians of the rst andsecond generation

The African RosciusEDITED BY BERNTH LINDFORS
Ira Aldridge -- a black
New Yorker -- was oneof nineteenth-centuryEuropes greatest actorsHe performed abroadfor forty-three years,winning more awards,honors, and ocialdecorations than any ofhis professional peersBilled as the African
Roscius, Aldridge deeloped a repertoire initiallyconsisting of Shakespeares Othello, melodramasabout slaery, and farces that drew on his ability
to sing and dance By the time he began touring inEurope he was principally a Shakespearean actor,playing such classic characters as Shylock,Macbeth, Richard III, and King Lear
Although his frequent public appearances madehim the most isible black man in the world bymid-nineteenth century, today Aldridge tendsto be a forgotten gure, seldom mentionedin histories of British and European theaterThis collection restores the luster to Aldridgesreputation by examining his extraordinaryachieements against all odds The early
essays oer biographical information, whilelater essays examine his critical and popularreception throughout the world Taken together,these dierse approaches to Aldridge oer a fullerunderstanding and heightened appreciation ofa remarkable man who had an exceptionallyinteresting life and a spectacular career

Ira Aldridges Early Years,
1807-1833
BERNTH LINDFORS
Ira Aldridges Early Years,1807-1833 is a detailed,carefully-researchedbiography of this black
classical actor coeringthe rst 45 years of hislife (1807-1852), whenhe rose from animpoerished childhoodin New York City to asuccessful career as oneof the most celebrated
thespians on the British stage
Aldridge played upon low audience expectationsby billing himself grandiloquently as the AfricanRoscius, and performing under the pseudonymof Mr Keene, a homonym calling up an imageof Edmund Kean, Englands most famousShakespearean actor He gradually gained areputation under his own name throughout theUnited Kingdom, attracting large crowds andwinning accolades not only as an interpreter ofblack roles but also eentually as an actor of classicwhite Shakespearean parts-Shylock, Macbeth,Richard III, een Iago
A peculiarity of Aldridges career was that he seldomwas inited to perform in London; instead hemoed constantly from one proincial town or cityto the next carrying costumes, props, wife, and sonwith him At the time Aldridge began performingin Britain, slaery had not yet been abolished in
British territories oerseas, and a determined WestIndian lobby in London was attempting to defendthe rights of slae owners abroad Also, the rise ofblack minstrelsy in the 1830s perpetuated a notionof negro inferiority Aldridge, as a ery isible blackman in a white world at a time when the relationshipbetween whites and blacks was being redened, wassometimes subjected to blatant racial harassment anddiscrimination; he nonetheless managed to surieand een thrie in an enironment in which he alwayswas regarded as an outsider
In dealing with his emergence as a professional actor inthe United Kingdom, Lindfors here records in detailthe ups and downs of Aldridges itinerant existence in
a world where no theatergoer had eer seen anyone likehim on stage before Aldridge was genuinely a uniquephenomenon in Britain at a piotal point in history

Literary Adaptations in
Black American Cinema
Expanded EditionBARBARA TEPA LUPACK
The cinematic representation of blacks, especiallyin silent and early lm, was shaped not only
by the sentimental racism of the culture butalso by the popular literature which distortedblack experience and restricted black charactersto minor, stereotyped roles By contrast, in theworks of black writers from Oscar Micheaux toToni Morrison, the black experience has beenmore fully, more accurately, and usually moresympathetically realized; and from the early daysof lm, select lmmakers hae looked to thatliterature as the basis for their productions
An historical examination of the practice ofsuch adaptation oers telling insights into the
portrayal -- and progress -- of blacks in Americanmoies and culture It reeals that while blacks, onscreen and behind the scenes, were often forcedto re-create the demeaning lm stereotypes, theylearned how to subert and exploit the articialityof their caricatures It also reeals the ways thatblack lmmakers, beginning with Micheaux,Noble and George Johnson, and their lessprominent colleagues like Emmett Scott, workedwithin the conentions of cinema and society, yetmanaged to produce lms that were, at their best,unconentional and pioneering It demonstratesthat as far back as the 1920s and 1930s,
black authors like Paul Laurence Dunbar andLangston Hughes already recognized the needfor inolement with lm production in orderto create pictures that were more representatieof black life It illustrates the fact that, in recentyears, as more black oices found their way to thescreen, among the strongest were the oices ofwomen And aboe all, it conrms that within therich tradition of black literature of all genres liemany exciting cinematic possibilities for audiencesof all colors
BARBARA TEPA LUPACK has written
extensiely on the topic of literary adaptationsin cinema and is co-author (with Alan Lupack)ofIllustrating Camelot

contributors open some key African texts to a

- how only some of the most populartheories in masculinity studies in the Westhold true in African contexts;
- how Western masculinities react withindigenous masculinities on the continent;
- how masculinity and femininity in Africaseem to reside more on a continuum
of cultural practices than on absolutelyopposite planes;
