Tuareg Separatism in Mali and Niger
Historicising nationalism in Africa
This paper proposes rethinking nationalism as a political ideology and force in Africa outside the boundaries of the postcolonial African state. It argues against national histories and for histories of the construction of African nationalisms. In analysing the anti‐colonial basis of nationalism globally, it argues that the basis for African nationalism is similar to and not distinct from dominant nationalist processes elsewhere. The paper analys…
Distant Shores: A Historiographic View on Trans-Saharan Space
This article addresses how scholarship has formulated human connections and ruptures over the Sahara. However, these formulations were, and still are, based in both physical and discursive realities that have been developed in Africa itself. The idea of a dividing Sahara is based on historical political divisions – despite a homogenous political culture in the region – and by locally developed notions of race and religion, brought about by trade …
One hippopotamus and eight blind analysts: A multivocal analysis of the 2012 political crisis in the divided Republic of Mali
This is an exercise in contemporary history that aims to give a comprehensive background and analysis to the current (2012) political crisis in Mali, generated by the start of a new Tuareg nationalist uprising against the state, complemented by a coordinated attack on the state by both international (AQIM) and local Jihadi-Salafi movements, leading to a coup d'état against the incumbent President Touré, and finallly a political stalemate of great…

The Hajj From West Africa From a Global Historical Perspective (19th and 20th Centuries)
Over the last years, in average, 2,1 million people per year performed the hajj. These millions stand in contrast to the numbers visiting Mecca half a century ago. On average, until 1946 a rough 60,000 pilgrims visited Mecca annually, with at least half of these coming from the Arabian Peninsula. Today Saudi nationals make up about a quarter of all pilgrims. The explanations for the staggering thirtyfold increase in total pilgrims, and the even m…
Unemployed Intellectuals in the Sahara: The Teshumara Nationalist Movement and the Revolutions in Tuareg Society
S ummary : In the past four decades the Tuareg, a people inhabiting the central Sahara, experienced dramatic socioeconomic upheaval caused by the national independence of the countries they inhabit, two droughts in the 1970s and 1980s, and prolonged rebellion against the state in Mali and Niger in the 1990s. This article discusses these major upheavals and their results from the viewpoint of three groups of Tuareg intellectuals: the “organic inte…
Tuareg City Blues: Cultural Capital in a Global Cosmopole
De grenzen van koloniale symbolische macht. Etnicisering en racialisering in Rwanda 1890-1960
De eerste Europeanen die voet zetten in Rwanda waren gefascineerd door de plaatselijke bevolking en meer bepaald door de driedeling van deze bevolking in wat ze volksstammen, maar ook etnische groepen, rassen, enzovoort noemden. De manier waarop ze hen fotografeerden en beschreven was een manifestatie van koloniale symbolische macht in het vormgeven van etniciteit en ras. Wanneer symbolische macht met Pierre Bourdieu gedefinieerd wordt als de mac…

International review of social history: Popular Intellectuals and Social Movements: Framing Protest in Asia, Africa, and Latin America
All forms of popular protest include a specific category of 'popular intellectuals', who reflect on social reality, speak in the name of popular classes and who articulate ideas that inspire collective action. This volume focuses on these individuals from an original angle: it looks at the experiences of popular intellectuals in non-western societies, who operate within social-movement networks that link local, regional, and international arenas,…

This Country is Your Country: Territory, Borders, and Decentralisation in Tuareg Politics
This paper deals with transformations in local political thinking in Northern Mali. It describes how concepts from what can be called ‘formal’ politics, or administration, have gradually seeped into local settings, where they have been taken up by local political actors. The transformation central to this paper is the movement from a political organisation essentially based on lineage, (fictive) kinship ties and a clan system, into a system in wh…
Fieldwork Ain't Always Fun: Public and Hidden Discourses on Fieldwork
Before I start, I would like to stress that the following is in no way meant as a complaint. Neither would I like you to think that I am disgusted by fieldwork in general, and fieldwork in Mali in particular. The point that I want to get across is that the personal emotional experience and state of mind during fieldwork have an impact on the way fieldworkers, in being their own instruments, practice their research.
