White Narratives: The depiction of post-2000 land invasions in Zimbabwe
Item type: Books • Author: Irikidzayi ManaseThe post-2000 period in Zimbabwe saw the launch of a fast track land reform programme, resulting in a flurry of accounts from white Zimbabweans about how they saw the land, the land invasions, and their own sense of belonging and identity. In White Narratives, Irikidzayi Manase engages with this fervent output of texts seeking definition of experiences, conflicts and ambiguities arising from the land invasions. He takes us through his study of texts selected from the memoirs, fictional and non-fictional accounts of white farmers and other displaced white narrators on the post-2000 Zimbabwe land invasions, scrutinising divisions between white and black in terms of both current and historical ideology, society and spatial relationships. He examines how the revisionist politics of the Zimbabwean government influenced the politics of identities and race categories during the period 2000–2008, and posits some solutions to the contestations for land and belonging. -

Item type: Books • Author: Romanus AbohLanguage and the construction of multiple identities in the Nigerian novel examines the multifaceted relation between people and the various identities they construct for themselves and for others through the context-specific ways they use language.

Indigenous Shona Philosophy: Reconstructive Insights

She collected almost 1000 plant specimens from this virtually unexplored region, several of which proved to be new to science. -
The Selfless Constitution: Experimentalism and Flourishing as Foundations of South Africa’s Basic Law
Item type: Books • Author: Stu WoolmanDo you possess ‘freedom’—the will to do as you choose—as an individual, as a participant in social affairs or as a citizen in the political realm? Well, no. Not really. At least not as most of us understand a term loaded down with metaphysical baggage. Don’t worry. You’ve got something better: a neurological system capable of carrying out the most complex analytical and computational tasks; membership in innumerable communities that provide you with huge stores of knowledge and wisdom; and a politico-constitutional order that ought to provide the material and the immaterial conditions that will enable you to pursue a life worth valuing. Drop the simplistic folk-psychology of unfettered freedom, whilst holding on to intentionality, and you might be inclined to adopt a set of social practices and political arrangements that enhance the chances that you and your compatriots will flourish. -

Living with ‘Others’: Ethnic conflict and pluralism in Uganda’s Greater Kibaale Region
Item type: Books • Author: Jimmy Spire SsentongoKibaale region in Uganda provides an interesting case study where periods of conflict between the ‘indigenous’ people (the Banyoro) and ‘immigrants’ (the Bafuruki) have been interspersed with instances of coexistence. Whereas much scholarly work has discussed episodes of tension and conflict, the moments of peace have scarcely been touched upon. Living with ‘Others’: Ethnic Conflict and Pluralism in Uganda's Greater Kibaale Region contributes to ethnicity debates by exploring how the people of Kibaale imagine and live out possibilities for coexistence. In do so, Living with ‘Others’ makes a contribution to theories of ethnic pluralism and practical imaginations of coexistence in Kibaale. These can be applied to the rest of Uganda, Africa and elsewhere in the world where inter-ethnic conflicts have disrupted peace and resulted in human suffering.
