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.

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. -

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.
