African Decolonial Theory
Antipode has become a key platform for engaging with decolonial and anticolonial scholarship, as well as adjacent fields such as Black geographies, Indigenous studies, Latin American feminism, and work on settler‐colonialism. African reference points in this literature, however, have been far less common, both in the journal and more broadly in radical geography. Recognizing that there are several loci of enunciation for decolonial and anticoloni…
Time poverty and gender in urban sub‐Saharan Africa
This study uses a mixed‐methods approach and primary data to consider how the length of the working day in Ghana's Greater Accra Metropolitan Area is shaped by time in paid and unpaid work and commuting. The analysis investigates gender differences in the length of the working day and the incidence of time poverty, and explores the relationship between long working days, long and arduous commutes and well‐being. Women are found to be more time po…
Long Work Hours and Long Commutes in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana
Response to commentaries on Patricia Daley and Amber Murrey's ‘Defiant scholarship
Defiant scholarship
Colonial epistemes persist in studies of African geographies. We argue that colonial continuities are revealed in (a) the status of human geography within African higher education; (b) the marginalization of Africa (particularly beyond Southern Africa) within the discipline of human geography; and (c) erasures of the functions of racialization in African societies. These are compounded by the relative marginalization of African knowledge within d…

Reclaiming Mobility
For Africa as a whole we want our peoples to have the right to move, settle, work and live with- out visas or passports from Cape Town to Cairo. As steady progress is being made at regional level it makes this Pan African dimension inevitable ... It just means that they are free to do so if they wish without any security or police always harassing them as ‘foreigners’. (Raheem 2006)
Ethical Considerations for Humanizing Refugee Research Trajectories
This paper argues that ethical responsibilities in refugee studies have focused on fieldwork, yet ethics ought to be applied to the research problematic—the aims, questions, and concepts—as potentially implicated in the production of harm. Using an example from Tanzania, I argue that policy has largely shaped the language, categories investigated, and interpretive frames of refugee research, and this article advocates greater attention to histori…
Laborers, Migrants, Refugees
This article examines the ways in which both colonial and postcolonial migration regimes in Kenya and Tanzania have reproduced forms of differential governance toward the mobilities of particular African bodies. While there has been a growing interest in the institutional discrimination and “othering” of migrants in or in transit to Europe, comparable dynamics in the global South have received less scholarly attention. The article traces the endu…
Lives lived differently
This paper considers the geographical study of black women’s lives through a reflection on Jacqueline Tivers’ (1978) “How the other half lives: the geographical study of women.” While feminist geographers have drawn on black feminist thought, the limited presence of black women academics within the discipline of Geography contributed to a lack of sensitivity to the distinctiveness of black women's geographies. The paper notes the considerable bod…
Politics and Space welcomes a new editor
Routledge Handbook of South–South Relations
South-South cooperation is becoming ever more important to states, policy-makers and academics. Many Northern states, international agencies and NGOs are promoting South-South partnerships as a means of ‘sharing the burden’ in funding and undertaking development, assistance and protection activities, often in response to increased political and financial pressures on their own aid budgets. However, the mainstreaming of Southern-led initiatives by…

Undoing Traceable Beginnings
This article examines the sense of insecurity experienced by former Burundian refugees following their acquisition of legal citizenship in Tanzania. Using the concept of ontological security, it explores the strategies devised by the new citizens and their former refugee selves to negotiate a normative and stable identity in Tanzania, a country with a postcolonial history of contested citizenship and depoliticized ethnicity. Our argument is that …
Re-imagining Politics & Space
The 2017 RGS‐IBG chair's theme
The theme for the chair's plenaries at the 2017 Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) ( RGS ‐ IBG ) Annual Conference is ‘Decolonising geographical knowledges: opening geography out to the world’. This commentary explains why this pursuit of critical consciousness via decolonial thinking could do more harm than good. We show how the emphasis on decolonising geographical knowledges rather than structures, instituti…

Refugees,idpsand Citizenship Rights
Persistent civil warfare has created a crisis of protection for vulnerable refugees/returnees and internally displaced people ( idps ) in the African Great Lakes region. This is in the context of increasing state hostility towards refugees, intensified inter-group competition among citizens, and rising xenophobia towards African 'foreigners'. Humanitarian solutions are often de-contextualised from struggles over entitlements, citizenship and excl…
Rescuing African bodies
This article examines the role of Western celebrities as part of new networks in the increasing commodification of humanitarianism in Africa. It explores the relationship between celebrities as neoliberal subjectivities and their shaping of ethical consumerism and humanitarian interventions. Using various case studies (Product RED, 50 Cent's SK drink, Save Darfur Campaign [United to End Genocide], Kony2012, Raise Hope for the Congo and the Easter…
The role of France in the Rwandan genocide - By Daniela Kroslak
Turning Points in African Democracy
The Order of Genocide
Scholarship on the Rwandan genocide of 1994 has been extensive. Nevertheless, it is important that such a catastrophe be analysed in depth so that lessons can be learnt. Straus's text investigates a facet of the genocide that has already been covered in the literature, but his is a new perspective. His key question is ‘what drove tens of thousands of ordinary Rwandans to commit genocide?’ (p. 2). He contends that, by focusing on the ‘local dynami…
The Burundi Peace Negotiations
Contemporary peace negotiations in Africa reflect perceived changes in the nature of warfare in the post-Cold War, neo-liberal era. ‘New wars’ are characterised as predominantly civil warfare that is non-ideological, fuelled by identity-politics and driven by greed or grievance. Neo-liberal approaches to conflict resolution involve a multiplicity of state and non-state actors, both protagonists and mediators, and promote universally-applicable so…

Ethnicity and political violence in Africa
Black Africans in Great Britain
Research on Britain's African population has been rather limited, which is partly due to the lack of data. The 1991 Census gave official recognition to the increasing permanency of the African population through the introduction of the ethnic category Black African, which enumerated the group's population at 212 362 and resulted in a vast amount of illuminating demographic and socioeconomic data. This paper draws heavily on this database. It is c…

Gender, Displacement and Social Reproduction
Until recently, the paucity of empirical data on refugee women has led to widespread generalization about the plight, number and condition of women in refugee communities. Discussion of refugee women tends to focus on their vulnerability and their experience as victims in acts of sexual violence and other forms of abuse. Very few studies document the less dramatic transformation of women's lives which occurs as a direct outcome of forced displace…

Interventions in the political geographies of 'area
Challenges to peace
Efforts to bring peace and reconstruction to the Central African region have been fashioned by contemporary conflict resolution models that have a standard formula of peace negotiations, with a trajectory of ceasefire agreements, transitional governments, demilitarization, constitutional reform and ending with democratic elections. Local dynamics and the historical and multifaceted nature of the conflicts are rarely addressed. Furthermore, partic…
