Contesting Paradigms in Society’s Poverty Alleviation and Developmental Arena
In contemporary development and political studies the Capability Approach as proposed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum has become an alternative analytical framework used to conceptualise the promotion of well-being ('capabilities') in society. Notably, an important component of this framework is agency, which underscores the various 'transformation mechanisms' towards realising well-being in societies. This study straddles the area of politica…
Journeys, Paths and Healing in Simphiwe Dana's Music
This article explores the role of popular culture, especially music, in human rights struggles and global rights discourses. We highlight selected songs from Simphiwe Dana's albums, The One Love Movement on Bantu Biko Street (2006) and Kulture Noire (2010). The article centres on Dana's socially conscious music, which is replete with figurative use of streets, ways and journeys. According to African cosmologies, the journey motif is central to Af…
Mentoring, masculinity and reparation in Mgqolozana’s A Man Who is Not a Man
This article discusses roles of mentoring, masculinity and reparation in Thando Mgqolozana’s A Man Who is Not a Man. We explore how male initiation, specifically ulwaluko – a rite of passage in Xhosa traditions – negatively impacts the development of the novel’s protagonist. We argue that initiation rites, which typically highlight and parallel the steps of human growth, hinge on supportive and mentoring environments in the production of healthy …
To Be or Not to Be? A Theoretical Investigation into the Crisis of National Identity in Nigeria
Sunday Paul Chinazo Onwuegbuchulam, Khondlo Mtshali, To Be or Not to Be? A Theoretical Investigation into the Crisis of National Identity in Nigeria, Africa Today, Vol. 64, No. 1 (Fall 2017), pp. 75-97
Contextualizing South Africa’s Freedom Songs
This article offers an examination of Lee Hirsch’s Amandla!: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony. Beginning with the liberation songs that gained salience during the National Party’s implementation of apartheid policy in 1948 and ending with the struggle songs of a post-1994 democratic South Africa, the documentary’s aim is to retrieve and recount the role of freedom songs in antiapartheid struggle. Using the writings of Ernesto Laclau, John Mbiti,…
Gods, Ancestors, and Hermeneutics of Liberation in Ayi Kwei Armah’s Two Thousand Seasons
The objective of this article is to articulate the hermeneutics of liberation in Ayi Kwei Armah’s Two Thousand Seasons. Premised on an assertion that Two Thousand Seasons is divisible into three sections—the realm of the godhead, the realm of the ancestors, and the realm of the living—this article will argue that the protagonists of the novel use land, an abode of the ancestors, as a text through which they form themselves into a healing communit…
The Journey of a Healing Community in Ayi Kwei Armah's Two Thousand Seasons
Basing itself on the African belief system’s postulation of three dimensions of experience, this paper argues that Ayi Kwei Armah’s Two Thousand Seasons articulates the journey of a healing community from the realm of the godhead through the realm of the ancestors into the realm of the living. The journey commences with an initial stability in the realm of the godhead that is disrupted by internal and external forces. While the resulting southwar…
