Political legitimacy after the pits: Corruption narratives and labour power in a former coalmining town in England
This article examines the erosion of political legitimacy in ex-mining towns in England. Political sociologists and political scientists have long taken an interest in the politics of coalmining areas, which were characterised by high strike rates and militant left values. More recently, the question of legitimacy in these areas has resurfaced, as now-deindustrialised pit towns register unusually high levels of political discontent and disengagem…
Corruption talk' and the politics of class in 21st century Britain
Scholars have diagnosed widespread class disidentification among working-class citizens in contemporary Britain despite high and sustained levels of inequality. Everyday narrations in working-class communities, however, reveal deeply classed accounts of politics and society, even if not expressed in the formal idiom of class. Across our field sites, practices of corruption talk were rife and aided citizens in making sense of their experiences of …
We have given up so much’: Passion and denial in the Dutch Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) controversy
Forceful debate has erupted in the Netherlands over the celebration of Sinterklaas in the 2010s. Sinterklaas festivities revolve around December 5 and the giving of presents, mostly to children. The debate centres around the figure of Sinterklaas’s helper Zwarte Piet (Black Pete). While an object of criticism for its implied racism (Zwarte Piet sports an Afro hairdo, blackface, full red lips and big golden hoops) for over half a century, the curr…
Use of Force in the Sudan: Between Islamic Law and International Law
There are barriers of perception between Sudanese Muslims for whom the sharia is a source of authority and identity and others who see it as an oppressive means of dominating Sudan's minority populations. I make a distinction between process and substance in law, and show that a flawed process has contributed to a perception of international law as an instrument of powerful states, which has obscured its legislative and procedural usefulness to t…
Remmy Ongala: Capitalist transition and popular music in Tanzania 1979-2002
Born in Zaïre, Remmy Ongala emigrated to Tanzania in 1979. He used his distinctive ubongo dance music to advocate a moral economy of affection in post-socialist Tanzania, and used an imaginatively reconstructed socialist past as a model for social responsibility. He diagnosed the hardening of social relationships that came with liberalization and commercialization as the root cause of Tanzania's problems in the 1980s and 1990s. Using music as a p…
