Sam Moyo and the Struggle for Intellectual Decolonization
Sam Moyo's insurgent intelligence and discipline made him a compelling and controversial intellectual leader. This article examines his life and work as part of the transnational production of intellectuals and institutions dedicated to the study of Africa. Tracing his passage sharply etches the global divisions and inequalities that mark the positions and struggles of scholars of Africa. Tracing Sam's choices and commitments over time offer howe…
Asian Land Acquisitions in Africa
The 'New Bandung' framework presumes a stable North/South order and opposition to it. This article examines how reigning orthodoxies on the acquisition of land and agricultural investments in Africa by Asian states and corporations do not fit this model. This holds even for core-centric models such as 'accumulation by dispossession', which fail to capture the collapse of accumulation strategies in the global North as they relate to new powers, po…

South Africa and the 'New Scramble for Africa
Is South Africa a 'sub/imperialist' state, a leader of the Global South, or a victim of imperial power from the North? This essay unpacks the debate surrounding South Africa's role in the 'new scramble for Africa' by critically contrasting competing theoretical conceptions against historical and empirical evidence. The conclusion projects a radical-and unexpected-rupture in South Africa's power and position in the world-economy as North-South net…
The Rise of African Studies (USA) and the Transnational Study of Africa
Among Africanists, one of the remarkable events of 1957 was the founding of the African Studies Association. Commentaries on the association's history are slight and understandably celebratory. Exploration of archival and related sources, however, reveals considerable uncertainty and struggle over the construction of the field in the 1950s and 1960s. Those sources range across changing continental, colonial, and racial boundaries and reveal racia…
Out of One, Many Africas
Out of One, Many Africas
Even as symbols of Africa permeate Western culture in the 1990s, centers for the academic study of Africa suffer from a steady erosion of institutional support and intellectual legitimacy. Out of One, Many Africas assesses the rising tide of discontent that has destabilized the conceptions, institutions, and communities dedicated to African studies. In vibrant detail, contributors from Africa, Europe, and North America lay out the multiple, conte…
Rise and Demise, Comparing World Systems
Toward A Global Sociology
This essay examines the response of U.S. sociologists to the growing call for a global sociology that can address both transnational social phenomena and international scholarly exchanges. We argue that existing research conceptions and agendas—rooted as they are in the comparative method, nationalist practices and units, and models of European-U.S. development—are ill-suited for grasping transnational phenomena and building a worldwide community…

Region formation under crisis conditions
In recent years considerable attention has been paid in Africa to the promotion of economic growth through regional economic associations. Yet little scholarship exists on the historical formation of southern Africa as an existing ‘region’. This essay explores this subject by analysing conflicts between local political actors over regional economic relationships in the first half of this century. Examining the period as a whole reveals a critical…
The Making of an Industrial South Africa
The process of industrialization has long formed a central theme for historians of the modern world. The reasons are quite clear: the wealth and power of nations have long rested upon a well-established industrial sector. The historical study of industrialization in Africa, however, has generated a truncated literature, reflecting the poor performance of the continent's manufacturing sector. Far from seeking to explain the course of industrializa…
