Parsing the Rwandan urban question
Contentious plots
How are ethnicity, citizenship, and social class articulated spatially in the postcolonial African metropolis over time? In this article, I examine the metamorphosis of the built environment as neighborhood plots of land change hands in the Parklands area of Nairobi: from old South Asian Kenyan bungalows and large family dwellings to newly built forms of apartment urbanism, underwritten by ethnic Somali developers. I propose "contentious plots" a…
African Studies Keyword
In the African Studies literature "transformation" emerges as a capacious discursive field and project of state power. In this Keyword article, I move from postindependence questions of transformative social change to violence as a transformative project of the nation-state, examining its imbrication with questions of transition and state aftermaths. I analyze transformation as a promise of worldmaking around horizons of the "post": postapartheid…
Gates to the City
Grounded in the material conditions of the African metropolis, this essay decenters the imaginary of the postcolonial state and investigates the affective tenor of the city. What does it mean to navigate anticolonial promise through the prism of postcolonial disappointment in Kenya's capital? An everyday politics of hustling and nonalignment questions the project of transformation in Nairobi, drawing attention to situated engagements with skeptic…
Carceral urbanism
In this article I make the argument that the prison in post-genocide Rwanda is an architectural artefact and a problem-space around which to examine the transitional dilemmas of the post-genocide period. I examine the changing punitive architecture of incarceration in Rwanda’s capital and in secondary urban areas. Looking at the space of the prison in relation to the changing city, I posit that through the penal production of space, the state rec…
The Green Masterplan
This article connects nested narratives of change in post-genocide Rwanda to examine how ideas of multi-scaled crisis and programs of urban transformation take on greater developmental and distributional significance in a context of a complex political economy. Rwandan elites position the country as the 'Singapore of Africa' in their state developmental ambitions and environmental regulations, yet urban areas are reeling from the distributional i…
Struggles to remain in Kigali’s “unplanned” settlements
Examining the precarious status of informal settlements in Kigali at a time of large-scale planning-induced expropriation, this article considers urban contestation in the context of the city’s changing spatial-legal regime. We analyse the case of one informal settlement’s expropriation and relocation – the settlement of Bannyahe – and the contestation that has ensued as resident property owners take the District of Gasabo to court. Through inter…
Establishing collective norms
In June 2002, the Republic of Rwanda embarked on an extraordinary experiment in transitional justice, inaugurating the pilot phase of a new participatory justice system called Inkiko-Gacaca. This article-the result of 8 weeks of research involving interviews with government and nongovernmental organization officials, local judges, and prisoners, and extensive observations of the Inkiko-Gacaca process in several different rural communities-explore…
Politics and the Urban Frontier
Tom Goodfellow’s generative and ambitious book focuses attention on the question of “late urbanization” in East Africa: theorising, comparing and providing detailed accounting for divergence in thr...
