Ideologies of (In)competence – Africanization and Management in Francophone West Africa after Independence
Putting a Nation on the Map: The Construction of a Geographical Imaginary through the Project for a National Atlas of Ethiopia, 1962–1987
Higher up, further” approaching air transport in postcolonial Africa through the biographies of planes
The 1960s were a pivotal moment for global air transport: the confluence of the technological innovations of the jet age and the formal decolonisation of most African countries resulted in a new connectivity between Africa and the world, as global aerial mobility rapidly intensified. This paper focuses on the multifaceted role of the jet plane in this process. Jets as flag carriers were key objects in terms of national representation on foreign g…

State-owned success in the air: Ethiopian Airlines and the multinational Air Afrique in the 1960s and 1970s
African Airlines are not commonly associated with success, rather they recall instances of bad management, security concerns, and outdated machinery. This paper focuses on the success of two airlines during the first two postcolonial decades in Africa. During this time, the new national airlines of African states were important symbols of sovereignty, as well as providing crucial mobility for politicians and experts of all kinds. Addressing a gap…
Creating Destinations for a Better Tomorrow: UN Development Aid for Cultural Tourism in the 1960s
Tourism is today considered as a crucial employment sector in many developing countries. In the growing field of historical tourism research, however, the relationships between tourism and development, and the role of international organizations, above all the UN, have been given little attention to date. My paper will illuminate how during the 1960s tourism first became the subject of UN policies and a praised solution for developing countries. …
It’s about valence: Historical continuity or historical discontinuity as a threat to social identity
National identity is underpinned by historical representations. Recent research shows that narratives presenting an in-group’s history as discontinuous rather than continuous raise collective angst, suggesting that historical discontinuity threatens social identity. This previous research has focused on positive aspects of an in-group’s past. The present research aims to extend the findings to go beyond positive histories. We suggest that when th…

Faire du patrimoine éthiopien un patrimoine mondial : le rôle de l’Unesco dans la reconnaissance du patrimoine culturel et naturel éthiopien. L’expertise étrangère a été dès le début très influente dans la production du patrimoine éthiopien. Lorsque l’Éthiopie a ratifié la Convention du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco en 1972, cela a ouvert la voie à la reconnaissance du patrimoine éthiopien au niveau international, en soutenant l’institutionnalis…
