From abolition of the slave trade to protection of immigrants
The focus of the essay is the emergence in the eighteenth century of discourses of abolition in the context of bonded labour and the trade in slaves from India. It relates this to the development in forms of unfree labour from slavery to indenture, and to the travels of abolitionism from the Indian Ocean world into that of the Atlantic. The study examines multinational dimensions of this early history of abolition and discusses more particularly …
Alessandro Stanziani. Labor on the Fringes of Empire
Alessandro Stanziani is a prolific scholar with an amazing record of publications, covering a wide field from economic history and law to Indian Ocean studies and the history of slavery and labor. The pervading theme in Labor on the Fringes of Empire: Voice, Exit and the Law is the relationship between “unfree” and “free” labor. The book consists of five separate studies, which are framed by an introduction, “Progress and (Un)Freedom,” and a conc…
Amaoti and Pumwani
Based on the authors’ parallel projects of research and fieldwork in urban informal settlements in Durban and Nairobi, the article uses comparison to bring out similarities and differences in the dynamics of informality in a South African and Kenyan setting. The article examines three dimensions of informality – the informal economy, informal housing and informal politics – as they play into the lives of youth, popular culture, moral debate, and …
Aspiration, exclusion and belonging in South Africa and Kenya
The five articles contained in the thematic section that follows have come out of discussions that were begun at a symposium hosted by the Global Studies programme at Roskilde University in Denmark on 29 & 30 April 2015. The debate was continued half a year later at a workshop organised by WISER at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg on 7 & 8 October 2015, and was rounded off for the time being at a smaller meeting, at which this …
Indian Ocean Networks and the Transmutations of Servitude
Focusing on Durban and its harbour, the article discusses the importation of different kinds of transnational bonded labour into Natal in the last half of the 19th century, and examines the ways in which Southern African and Indian Ocean histories were intertwined in the processes that built the colonial state. The institution of the Protector of Indian Immigrants is highlighted as a central ingredient in state building, which served to give legi…
Durban and Cape Town as Port Cities
This special issue arose out of a workshop titled ‘Durban and Cape Town as Indian Ocean Port \nCities: Reconsidering Southern African Studies from the Indian Ocean’, held at the University of the Western Cape in September 2014. The volume is located at the intersection of southern African studies and Indian Ocean studies, and explores this exchange as a site for enriching southern African transnational historiographies
Melancholia of Freedom
Islam, secularist government, and state-civil society interaction in Mozambique and South Africa since 1994
This article explores state–civil society interactions in Mozambique and South Africa with a focus on Islamic groupings, and places the two countries within an Indian Ocean coastal continuum of links to East Africa, India, and the Arab world. Contrasting the histories of dominant-party rule since the transitions in 1994 to multiparty-ism in Mozambique and to democracy in South Africa, the article discusses the development of Islamic organisations…
Zanzibaris or Amakhuwa? Sufi Networks in South Africa, Mozambique, and the Indian Ocean
This article investigates the role of Sufi networks in keeping Durban's ‘Zanzibari’ community of African Muslims together and developing their response to social change and political developments from the 1950s to the post-apartheid period. It focuses on the importance of religion in giving meaning to notions of community, and discusses the importance of the Makua language in maintaining links with northern Mozambique and framing understandings o…
Radio in Africa
That radio is not a dying medium, but prospering and diversifying in Africa, is amply demonstrated in this collection, containing no less then 17 articles on a great variety of forms of radio. The book is the product of workshops and projects coordinated by Liz Gunner on radio, publics, and communities in Southern Africa between 2005 and 2007. However, the collection covers Africa much more broadly, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Angola, b…
Diaspora or transnational citizens? Indian Ocean networks and changing multiculturalisms in South Africa
This article gives an historical perspective to debates on xenophobia and immigration in South Africa after 1994. It contrasts contexts for immigration and the establishment of claims of belonging within the changing multiculturalisms of apartheid and “the rainbow nation.” It discusses different types of identity tactics deployed by immigrant groups in their struggles for recognition within these contexts. Finally, it compares the development dur…

Transnational Islam and Public Sphere Dynamics in Kwazulu-Natal
Islam in KwaZulu-Natal has typically been seen as an Indian preserve and as closely linked with contestations around South African Indian identities. Against this background, dedication to Islam among Africans has appeared as exceptional, represented by groupings with particular histories of immigration from Mozambique, Malawi or Zambia. Since the 1970s, strong efforts have been made to extend the call of Islam to Africans in the province, as dem…
Introduction
The emergence of the Indian Ocean region as an important geo-political arena is being studied across a range of disciplines. Yet while the Indian Ocean has figured in Swahili studies and analyses of East and Southern African diasporic communities, it has remained outside the mainstream of African Studies. This introduction provides an overview of emerging trends in the rich field of Indian Ocean studies and draws out their implications for schola…

Public spheres, hidden politics and struggles over space
The development of a public sphere forms a central ingredient in the consolidation of a new political culture following a transition to democracy. The Habermasian idea of the public sphere has been challenged for not taking into account the role of ‘part’ and ‘counter public spheres’, particularly with reference to ‘developing’ societies. ‘Actually existing’ public spheres must therefore be conceptualised within the framework of a broader categor…

Popular cultural materials and public spheres
Culture as cure
The paper addresses the nature of ‘really existing’ civil society and the workings of the public sphere in informal urban settlements on the outskirts of Durban. It focuses on debates over morality and the health of the community which have emerged locally in the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and highlights the positions taken by different African Initiated Churches – Zionist, apostolic and evangelical churches as well as the Shembe Church. B…
Moral Panic and Cultural Mobilization
This article discusses the micropolitics behind the murder of an ANC councillor in a KwaZulu-Natal slum area in 1999, and the forms of violence which have continued in the aftermath of apartheid. The history of violence is traced back to struggles between the IFP and the ANC in the 1980s which interacted with differences in generational, moral and cultural outlook, as well as with conflicts between Zulu-speaking residents and immigrants from the …

The last hundred years’ social history of urban development in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second‐biggest city, has been given special characteristics by the city's closeness to South Africa and by the outcomes of controversies between national governments, the Bulawayo City Council and groups of urban residents over the form urban settlement for Africans should take. Policies before independence fluctuated between attempts at keeping African urban resi…
