Rethinking and remaking “the social”
This paper presents findings from a qualitative study exploring how students at a university in the southern USA conceptualize, theorize, and attempt to influence the role ‘social factors’ play in mental illness and well-being. Drawing on models of research co-production and principles of critical pedagogy, a group of 10 university students (‘student researchers’) worked with a faculty member to develop and conduct the study. The results highligh…

No Easy Victories
Invisible Hierarchies
The failure to acknowledge race as a fundamental feature of today's unequal world order remains a striking weakness of radical as well as conventional analyses of that order. Current global and national socioeconomic hierarchies are not mere residues of a bygone era of primitive accumulation. Just as it should be inconceivable to address the past, present, and future of American society without giving central attention to the role of African Amer…
America and Africa
Africa's issues are global issues—hiv/aids, human development, new models for economic growth, peace, and democracy. Worldwide consciousness of the HIV/AIDS pandemic has even forced its way into the pages of a United States president's State of the Union address. In practice, however, priorities are being set by another agenda, a war agenda

America and Africa
In the post–cold war world the stated general goals of United States foreign policy—development, democracy, and security—are congruent with those of African peoples. When deciding how best to achieve these widely endorsed goals, however, a chasm emerges between perspectives crafted purely in the American foreign policy arena and those rooted in African realities

Counterinsurgency in Africa
Cold War, Racism, and Uranium
In the 1990s, as released political prisoner and then President Nelson Mandela visited the United States to virtually universal adulation, his hosts rarely recalled–and he was too polite to mention–the long history of U.S. collaboration with his jailers. And while that history was probed in polemic and analysis by anti-apartheid activists and a handful of scholars, the list of detailed studies of the history of U.S.-Southern African relations is …

The US and the war in Angola
Since South Africa's withdrawal from Namibia in 1989, the US has become the primary patron of Angola's UNITA contras. US resentment about the defeat of their Joint intervention into Angola with South Africa in 1975–76 fed into right‐wing cold war calculations in the Reagan period. Covert aid increased greatly from 1986 despite liberal pressures to be realistic and recognise Luanda partly as a result of influential lobbying in Washington on behalf…

When Sanctions Worked
IN JANUARY 1966 British Prime Minister Harold Wilson promised African states at the Commonwealth Summit in Lagos that recently imposed sanctions would bring down the minority Rhodesian regime in 'weeks, not months'.1 This rash prediction later became established as an implicit criterion showing the failure of sanctions. Rhodesia's survival, years later, was ipso facto proof, for popular opinion as well as for many scholars, that 'sanctions don't …

Giving up the White Man's Burden? Western relations with a free South Africa
When Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) exhorted his readers to 'take up the white man's burden' in 1899, his poem's subtitle cited the USA and the Philippine Islands. As Britain fought an unexpectedly long war with Afrikaners for control of what the British government regarded as the 'richest spot on earth', the Imperial bard called on the Anglo-Saxon Americans, then fighting to acquire portions of the Spanish Empire, to join their elder siblings in wo…

Imperial Brain Trust
With All Deliberate Delay
Because of the ominous implications of a showdown in the United Nations over South West Africa, and in view of its uncertain outcome, it is of the highest importance that U.S. policy be actively directed to averting such a confrontation (Nielsen, 1965: 123). A perennial of international diplomacy-the question of Namibia (South West Africa-remains unresolved. South Africa maintains military and political control while diplomats come and go. United…
