Paulo Freire and Emancipatory Praxis in Africa
There has been a growing resurgence of interest in Paulo Freire in recent times. In much of this work, there has been a tendency to focus on him as a pedagogue rather than as an emancipatory political thinker; his involvement in and influence on liberation struggles in Africa, in particular, have received little attention. This is concerning, given that his involvement spanned a period of about two decades and came at a pivotal moment in both the…
Toward the Formation of a Transnational Alliance of Working and Oppressed Peoples
For the last thirty years, the world system has undergone an extreme centralization of power in all its dimensions—local and international, economic and military, social and cultural. Creating a new transnational alliance of workers and oppressed peoples must be the main objective for the genuine militants who are convinced of the odious nature of the world imperialist capitalist system that we have at present. It is a heavy responsibility and th…

New Media, New Truths, New Lies
Catching history on its wings
The authors reflect on the establishment and rapid evolution of an African electronic newsletter, Pambazuka News, an initiative rooted on the one hand in the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICTs), and (on the other hand) in the struggle against impoverishment and injustices. Among the main learning points are that electronic publishing is a long-term commitment, because of the trust established between the organis…
The missionary position
This article traces the evolution of development non–governmental organizations (NGOs) in Africa, and suggests that their role represents a continuation of the work of their precursors, the missionaries and voluntary organizations that cooperated in Europe’s colonization and control of Africa. The authors maintain that the work of the NGOs today contributes marginally to the relief of poverty in Africa, and significantly undermines the struggle o…
Social Policy and Rights in Africa From Social Contract to Loss of Self-determination
Summaries The agenda for social development in Africa, and therefore the framework in which social policy is defined, has undergone major shifts over the last forty years. This has partly been the result of the ability of post?colonial governments to depoliticise poverty and demobilise the movements that brought them to power. But the major reason has been the current phase of the globalisation of capital, which has demanded a major restructuring…
The depoliticisation of poverty
Development and Rights
The fiftieth anniversary of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights prompts a re-examination of the links between 'development' and the range of economic, social, political, and cultural rights enshrined within it. Chronic poverty is a flagrant denial of what the international community once hailed as the basic rights and fundamental freedoms on which our humanity and security must rest. The papers in this collection consider, among other …
