Child Labour and Capitalist Social Engineering in Africa
This article engages with some salient issues relating to child labour in colonial and post-colonial Africa. The central argument hinges on the inconclusive assault of capital on pre-capitalist socio-economic formation in Africa and the urgent intellectual task of liberating the study of child labour from humanitarian, United Nations and non-governmental organisation bureaucrats by privileging the voices of children themselves. The first section …

Remaking from Below
This article deals with the archaeology of violence and urban exclusion in postcolonial Freetown. It argues that subalterns underwent a double exclusion – from the colonial to the postcolonial: first as natives on the basis of race, and then subsequently, as a marginal economic category. Their dogged resistance to structuration from above compels us to rethink the city and the citizenry in new ways that challenge our conception of urbanization, c…

Marginal Youths or Outlaws? Youth Street Gangs, Globalisation, and Violence in Contemporary Sierra Leone
Sierra Leoneans were shocked when video clips of the Central Correctional Centre gallows began circulating on social media after the Minister of Internal Affairs instructed the prison authorities to get ready to take life. The Minister’s pronouncement came hot on the heels of a series of alleged gang-related murders that rocked Freetown in 2016. What are the complex linkages between street violence and youth marginalisation? How might violence am…

Schizophrenia patients have been reported to eat a diet that contain higher in fat and lower in fiber.

The Paradoxes of History and Memory in Post-Colonial Sierra Leone
This anthology reflects the complex processes in the production of historical knowledge and memory about Sierra Leone and its diaspora since the 1960s. The processes, while emblematic of experiences in other parts of Africa, contain their own distinctive features. The fragments of these memories are etched in the psyche, bodies, and practices of Africans in Africa and other global landscapes; and, on the other hand, are embedded in the various di…
Tributes to Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem (1961–2009)
I am proud to say that I taught Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem at Bayero University Kano. Indeed, whenever I was in his company I always expected the familiar introduction: ‘”AB Zack”’ (as he liked to call
Africans Do Not Live By Bread Alone
Scholars, NGO activists, and journalists have fed the official mind and popular imagination with a particular kind of explanation of conflict that privileges the economic. Civil war is about resources: rebels are motivated by greed, not grievance. Rebels mine diamonds to buy arms. Diamonds are the heart of the matter. A robust campaign against “blood diamonds” - diamond coming from conflict areas- is one way of depriving rebels of funds to make w…
Culture, consciousness and armed conflict
This paper compares critically Cabral and Frantz Fanon's readings of class struggle in Africa. Class definitions imported from Marxism had a different utilization by Cabral, more close to a pragmatic interpretation based on the groundroots experience. The divergence between Cabral and Fanon's interpretations can be projected to current debates to demonstrate these are still unresolved issues amongst most African scholars when assessing other revo…

Youth culture and rebellion
This paper deals with the centrality of rebellious youth culture in understanding Sierra Leone's wasted decade, 1991-2000. The paper discusses the fusion between the mainstream and the unacceptable youth cultures, the emergence of an imagined community consisting of rebellious youths, and the inauguration of a counter-insurgency discourse based on pan-Africanism and violence
Rethinking African labour and working‐class history
If Edward Thompson's famous book has legitimated scholars studying Africa, where workingclass history is still a relatively new endeavour, the content of Thompson's text still remains largely uninfluential. By invoking Thompson, Africanist historians were concerned with emphasizing a' la Thompson that workers were present at their own creation and that the working class was indeed an active participant in its own making. If this enterprise has al…
Bush path to destruction
We recruited fifty-four boys, mostly from Bugisu, and started training them at Nachingwea. Unfortunately, once again, these boys had not been well selected. They had been working mostly in towns like Nairobi and had a kiyaye (lumpen proletariat) culture. They began misbehaving in the Frelimo camp and soon after their training, the Tanzanian government dispersed them.I took personal charge of the Montepuez group and stayed with the boys during the…
The Colonial State and Wage Labor in Postwar Sierra Leone, 1945–1960
The elaborate “remaking” of the African working class that took off in earnest in the period after 1945 has only recently begun to receive the attention of scholars working on African labor and working-class history. This process of remaking, as in nineteenth-century England, essentially involved the incorporation of the African working class into a system of industrial relations which would guarantee it a stake in society with regard to jobs, wa…

American Historical Association Conference
The 1995 American Historical Association's 109th annual meeting was held in Chicago. Many presenters touched on working-class issues, and panels that focused on working-class and labor history topics comprised 10 percent of the conference. Several sessions linked class analysis and labor questions to issues of gender and race. In "African American Activism in the South During the Roosevelt Era," the papers demonstrated the nexus between unions, e…
Liberty or Death”
This article examines the labour disturbances which occurred in Freetown, Sierra Leone (Figure 1), between 1938 and 1939. Contrary to the prevailing interpretation that the colonial state in Africa was faced with an alternative of either forcefully pushing the working class out of the city or moving towards some form of corporatism, this article argues that such an option was only feasible in situations where labour was relatively quiescent or wh…

Profit versus Social Reproduction
This paper addresses the subject of working class redefinition within the context of production and profit in the iron-ore mines. Sierra Leonean miners, especially laborers, struggled to redefine themselves as a group with similar interests against efforts by state and capital to maximize profit and increase productivity. The maximization of profit and the minimization of labor costs were crucial to, and dependent on, the survival and profitabili…
