Lionel Cliffe: The politically engaged intellectual worker
Under the Tree of Talking: Leadership for Change in Africa
Which knowledge? Whose reality? An overview of knowledge used in the development sector
This article provides an overview of issues relating to the use of knowledge by development organisations. It starts by exploring the various definitions of knowledge that exist in a world of many cultures and intellectual traditions, and the role of language. It considers their relationship with each other and with the many and varied ‘informational developments’ – information-related changes in work, culture, organisations, and technology acros…
ICTs, ‘virtual colonisation’ & political economy
The potential consequences of the nature and dynamics of the increasing use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for the political economy of Africa deserve considerably more critic
Knowledge, culture & the internet in Africa: A challenge for political economists
The development and use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) are undoubtedly important in today's world. Not surprisingly this raises issues of ‘ICT and development’, ‘ICT and health’, ‘ICT and agriculture’ and above all of a ‘digital divide’ between those with permanent access to new technologies and those with none. Such topics are not unimportant but they should not obscure the need for a more profound, critical analysis of wha…

The Whitlam Labor Government: Barnard and Whitlam: A Significant Historical Dyad
On 8 February 1967 Gough Whitlam was elected Federal Labor leader with Lance Barnard as his deputy. It was the beginning of a remarkable partnership that was most aptly illustrated by the celebrated duumvirate, "the smallest government... since the brief Wellington Administration of 1834", when Whitlam and Barnard assumed government as a two-man ministry in December 1972. It was, however, a close relationship that went back to when they first ent…

Culture: Intervention or solidarity
This article deals with certain themes concerning religion, culture, and development, in part to help to set the context for the rest of this edition. It considers the religious and/or cultural background of many Northern agencies and individuals, and its effect on their development agenda. Arguing that local cultural values define what development means, it looks at some of the cultural issues -- political and moral, thematic and practical -- wh…
A tribute to Amílcar Cabral, 12 September 1924–20 January 1973
ROAPEs decision to mark the twentieth anniversary of the murder of Amílcar Cabral reflects the view that this is an opportune time to consider his achievements and the relevance of both his thought and practice — especially regarding events that are unfolding in Africa today. The contributions from Basil Davidson, Shubi Ishemo and Lars Rudebeck each provide a stimulating analysis that covers enormous ground but hardly overlaps at all
