African Films in the Classroom
A wealth of excellent films from Africa is readily available for classroom use, even if much of Anglophone Africa remains poorly represented. African films can serve to challenge students' assumptions and to foster a critical examination of Western films set in Africa. Extending the scope of conventional "African" courses to North Africa adds a substantial body of notable productions, some of which address current concerns such as Islamic fundame…
Ali Zaoua: The Harsh Life of Street Children and the Poetics of Childhood
In the context of Arab cinema, Nabil Ayouch's Ali Zaoua, Prince of the Streets breaks new ground in presenting the world of street children. At the same time his portrayal of their world stands in distinct contrast to that offered by classic representations emanating from other regions. Violence in Ali Zaoua remains limited and originates among the children. Neither public authorities nor individual adults victimise these children; rather adults …
African Film: Re-Imagining a Continent
Examines key African films and their contexts.
World Cities beyond the West: Globalization, Development and Inequality
This study was the first systematically to cover those cities beyond the core that most clearly can be considered world cities: Bangkok, Cairo, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Mexico City, Moscow, Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Shanghai, and Singapore. Fourteen leading authorities from diverse backgrounds bring their expertise to bear on these cities across four continents and consider the major regional and global roles they play in economic, polit…

World cities in poor countries: Conclusions From Case Studies of the Principal Regional and Global Players
This is a brief report on a study of world cities in the under-researched poor countries. Whereas previous work has focused rather haphazardly on one or a few cities beyond the West, this is the first study to systematically cover such 'second-tier' world cities. Fourteen leading authorities from diverse backgrounds bring their expertise to bear on twelve world cities across four continents. Alongside the economic, they consider the political and…
The Son of the Hawk Does Not Remain Abroad: The Urban-Rural Connection in Africa
Most rural–urban migrants maintain significant ties with their communities of origin in Africa south of the Sahara. Contrary to “modernist” assumptions that these ties would fade away, they often continue to be strong. This urban–rural connection has important consequences for rural–urban migration, for urban–rural return migration, for the rural economy, and for the political process. To understand the processes underpinning the urban–rural conn…
African Writing Projected onto the Screen: Sambizanga, Xala, and Kongi's Harvest
Three films serve to explore the metamorphosis involved in translating written fiction onto the screen. Text and screen have different requirements, but there is often also a change in intended audience between written fiction and film-as demonstrated here in the cases of Xala and Kongi's Harvest. Neither such change in intended audience nor the level of funding bears a relationship to the striking difference in the quality and the success of the…
The Urban Transformation of the Developing World
Introduction: The Urban-Rural Connection: Changing Issues of Belonging and Identification
Since the 1960s researchers have emphasised the continuing importance of rural-urban connections as a special aspect of urbanisation in Africa. It is clear that since then, in many parts of Africa, the involvement of urbanites with their 'home' village has increased rather than decreased. Four of the articles in this issue were originally papers presented at two ASA panels (Toronto, 1994) which set out to explore these rural-urban connections. Th…
The Urban Transformation of the Developing World
This century is one of urban transition. Almost half the world's population now lives in urban settlements and the last phase of this momentous transformation is at present taking place in the less developed countries of Asia, Oceania, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. There has been a tendency to generalize about urbanization but there are important differences in the urban transformation across the South.The first essay in this volume d…

Wole Soyinka's Kongi's Harvest from Stage to Screen: Four Endings to Tyranny
Wole Soyinka'sKongi's Harvestfrom Stage to Screen: Four Endings to Tyranny
Entre la pièce et le film, Kongi’s Harvest offre l’occasion rare d’éxplorer plusieurs manières différents de terminer une histoire. Prenant en compte les diverses incarnations de la pièce ainsi que le script du film de Soyinka, nous sommes en mesure de comparer quatre épilogues à sa dénonciation du Kongisme. Trois de ces versions ont été supervisées par Soyinka. Elles concluent de manière inconclusive et peuvent vouloir s’addresser au public Nigé…

How Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o Shifted from Class Analysis to a Neo-Colonialist Perspective
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o has established himself as one of the leading second-generation African writers. His first two novels, Weep Not, Child (London, Heinemann, 1964) and The River Between (London, Heinemann, 1965), written while an undergraduate at Makerere University College, Kampala, brought him recognition as the foremost East African writer. His third novel, A Grain of Wheat (London, Heinemann, 1967), established James Ngugi, as he then called h…

Women Stay on the Farm No More: Changing Patterns of Rural-Urban Migration in Sub-Saharan Africa
Women could be said to be 'the second sex in town' in colonial Africa in that men predominated in the urban centres spawned by the political economy of colonialism. An explanation has to consider both employment and family separation. Although colonial governments, missions, commercial firms, and mines recruited men, it is not clear to what extent this was a matter of preference on the part of the major employers rather than the response of peasa…

Particularism in Subsaharan Africa: Tribalism' in Town
A model of particularism is proposed that distinguishes bases and levels of identification, association, unions, and organization. It is constructed from the literature on urbanization in Subsaharan Africa and the author's research in Nigeria. The context of ethnicity is described as a set of concentric circles designating the more narrowly or more largely defined ethnic groups ego identifies with, recruits his/her friends from, joins in unions, …

African Literary Comment on Dictators: Wole Soyinka's Plays and Nuruddin Farah's Novels
African intellectuals grapple with political problems well before social scientists are prepared to address them. The abuse of political power constitutes one such problem: a number of African countries have suffered under dictatorships over the last 25 years, but scholars have had very little to say about their experiences to this day.1Wole Soyinka, however, the foremost African playwright, presented a satire on the régime of Kwame Nkrumah (Ghan…

Changes that affect the position of women in Subsaharan Africa are discussed in an attempt to evaluate the impact of these changes in the urban setting. Then the 2 themes of opportunities for economic independence of urban women and the urban family are discussed followed by a short discussion of the pol…
