Positive Visibility
There has been a marked lack of international attention toward lived experiences of albinism in Sierra Leone, which is one of the poorest countries in the world. Albinism is a relatively rare recessive genetic condition that has profound implications in a context in which access to healthcare and practical support is limited. We draw on the findings of fieldwork interviews undertaken as part of our recent study “Demystifying Albinism in Sierra Le…
Identifying Family and Community-based Care Solutions for Children with Albinism
In sub-Saharan Africa, discrimination and stigmatisation, lack of access to appropriate health services and inclusive education, the risk of ritual attacks, and the perceived burden of care, mean that some children with albinism are being placed in residential care or boarding schools by the State or families, purportedly for their care and protection. Whilst there is a wealth of information available in the respective areas of “albinism” and “ca…
Historical Redlining and Current Neighborhood Social Vulnerability in the United States
Background: In this study, we examined the association between historical redlining, a government-sanctioned racial discriminatory practice of the 1930s, and present-day neighborhood social vulnerability in the United States. Methods: We obtained the 2018 social vulnerability index (SVI) data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, linked it to 1930s Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) redlining maps, and assigned U.S. neighbor…
Racial inequality in Covid-treatment and in-hospital length of stay in the US over time
Introduction: Demonstrated health inequalities persist in the United States. SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) has been no exception, with access to treatment and hospitalization differing across race or ethnic groups. Here, we aim to assess differences in treatment with remdesivir and hospital length of stay across the four waves of the pandemic. Materials and methods: Using a subset of the Truveta data, we examine the odds ratio (OR) of in-hospital remdesivir…
Cultural Representations of Albinism in Africa
«The authors in this inspiring volume focus on the socially transformative potential narrative has to shape understandings of albinism in Africa. Scholars and activists, they reflect on how traditional beliefs, literary fiction, radio, music, photography, film and the arts can bring about social change, and also educate publics about albinism.» (Carli Coetzee, Editor, Journal of African Cultural Studies) «Highly intriguing and skillfully nuanced,…
Exploring how therapists engage in self-care in times of personal distress
There is a dearth of research on counsellor self-care in times of personal stress. Working therapeutically with clients whilst facing personal difficulties may lead to stress and burnout for counsellors if adequate self-care is not implemented. This small-scale (n=3) in-depth qualitative study explored counsellor self-care in times of personal distress. The findings highlight lack of information and awareness of the impact of not implementing ade…
Angry laughter
Focusing on the representation of the masculinity of dictator figures in Cheik Aliou Ndao's Mbaam dictateur (1997) and Baba Galleh Jallow's Angry Laughter (2004), this article explores the imbrication of social realities, power structures and literary expression that characterizes these texts as dictator-novels. It considers the writers' reappropriation of the border between animal and human as a means by which to level an allegorical political c…
Burkinabè Dictator-Novels and the Struggle against Impunity
In December 1998 the body of the Burkinabè novelist and newspaper editor Norbert Zongo was found in his burned-out vehicle in the village of Sapouy. He had become a victim of the impunity of the dictatorial regime of Burkina Faso's president, Blaise Compaoré. Sten Hagberg contends that the killing of Norbert Zongo characterized a certain political culture and was thus perceived as the starting point for an organized and widely mobilized sociopoli…

Fictions of African Dictatorship
Fictions of African Dictatorship examines the fictional representation of the African dictator and the performance of dictatorship across genres. The volume includes contributions focusing on literature, theatre and film, all of which examine the relationship between the fictional and the political. Among the questions the contributors ask: what are the implications of reading a novel for its historical content or accuracy? How does the dictator …
The Role of African Fiction in Educating about Albinism and Human Rights
As well as the practical problems associated with living with albinism in sub-Saharan Africa, many people face stigmatization and ostracism because of the beliefs and misconceptions surrounding this genetic condition. The interest here is in how fiction contributes to understandings and raises awareness of the human rights of people with albinism in Africa. Jenny Robson’s Because Pula Means Rain (1998) and Ben Hanson’s Takadini (1997) are aimed a…

Postcolonial Criticism and Representations of African Dictatorship
One might initially understand from the book's title that it focuses on the rather under-studied question of the representation of dictatorship in African literature. While this is to some extent true, Cécile Bishop instead uses literary and filmic representations of dictatorship to support her argument for a form of (postcolonial) criticism that foregrounds the complexity of the reader's or spectator's experience. The theme of post-independence …
Multilingual literature and official bilingualism in Cameroon
This article considers the literary comment of two contemporary Cameroonian writers on the mismatch between the official policy of bilingualism and the linguistic reality of what has been described as ‘one of the most multilingual countries on earth’. Francis Nyamnjoh and Patrice Nganang write from opposite sides of Cameroon’s official language divide – Nyamnjoh’s A Nose for Money is written in English, and Nganang’s Temps de chien in French. How…
Necropolitical violence and post-independence Guinean literature
The first President of the Republic of Guinea, Ahmed Sékou Touré, ruled from independence in 1958 to his death in 1984. Initially admired for his socialist revolutionary policies in the wake of colonial domination, he later emerged as a dictator who ruthlessly crushed opposition. As violence became synonymous with the state and its regime of terror, Guineans lived in an unpredictable world in which any gesture might be interpreted as offensive to…

Tre Albinos
This article examines the positioning of albino protagonists at the centre of Francophone Guinean writer Williams Sassine's novels Wirriyamu (1976) and Mmoire d'une peau (1998). The narratives not only focus on the visible difference of the albino characters and the alienation that results from it but also posit various ways in which other characters might be albino. As Sassine's portrayal of the protagonist of Mmoire d'une peau demonstrates, bei…
The myths surrounding people with albinism in South Africa and Zimbabwe
The myths associated with albinism in South Africa and Zimbabwe have a profound influence on the lives of people with the condition, from the moment of their birth until their death. The beliefs and superstitions surrounding the condition affect family life and interfere with access to education, employment and marriage.
