This paper uses an intersectional gender analysis of the life histories of heads of the poorest households in Gulu district to document and examine the effects of neoliberalisation processes of appropriation and class formation in the context of extreme poverty in a post-war setting. It examines the gendered nature of the households’ experiences of survival, crisis, and vulnerability and analyses the effects of neoliberal policies on land, labour, livelihoods, and access to healthcare. The data evidences that the neoliberalisation of northern Uganda is compounding the dispossession of the poor, who were previously dispossessed by war. It underscores the fallacy of the ideology of ‘inclusive neoliberalism’ that informed the second phase of neoliberalisation in Uganda, into which northern Uganda was integrated. Gender proves to be a highly useful analytical lens through which to explore life histories.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115864131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to scholarship published more than half a century ago, there seems to be a decline of the use of oral histories to explore the history of the living under capitalism, despite the acceptance of oral histories as an important source and methodology for reconstructing experiences of people. At the same time, the last few decades have seen unprecedented changes across the continent in the working lives of people across generations. Generating substantial bodies of oral historical accounts of working lives would offer invaluable and productive insights into these experiences of change. It would allow a critical analysis of neoliberalism at the incisive level of a person’s biography. This collection aims to address this gap. The introductory article serves three purposes. First, it provides the intellectual background to this collective intervention and discusses the usefulness of oral histories in the reconstruction of economic life under neoliberalism. Second, it provides a historiography of oral history covering debates and developments in anthropology and history. Third, it provides an overview of the seven articles – covering South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda, and South Sudan – that constitute this volume. Overall, our opening text is a call for the re-engagement with and use of oral histories to document, understand, and discuss work and life under capitalism.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132403701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Paralleling excerpts of the oral histories of Khumo who moved to Johannesburg in 1976, and Kagiso, who moved in 2015, this piece discusses how dispossession characterises unfreedom. Bringing literature on racial capitalism back to South Africa, its place of origin, and grounding it in the narratives of Khumo and Kagiso, the piece discusses the history and development of global dynamics of spatial exclusion and subjective, material, and productive-creative alienation. Furthermore, it discusses how Khumo and Kagiso perceive dispossession as historical thus racialised and manufactured, and contest it by negating racialisation and the idea of freedom. The article thus contributes to wider debates about neoliberalism in Africa, and (global) racial capitalism, showing how dispossession remains the main expression of unfreedom under capitalism; and how unfree life is reproduced every day in and through cities, and is lived as alienation.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129774574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on conversations with residents and migrant workers on the borders between north-western South Sudan and southern Darfur in Sudan over 2017 to 2019, it explores how cycles of wars, displacement, resettlement and reconstruction since the 1980s have rapidly monetised and commodified working lives, land and relationships. This has precipitated rapid class stratification, cash debt and worker exploitation, and sharp controls on the emerging cheap cash labour pool via border violence, wage depression, land alienation and rents, and the construction of a private educational market, which have all undercut older forms of collective work and mutuality. These changes have been encouraged and exploited by growing classes of private landowners, commercial farmers and military entrepreneurs, and been supported by the development and humanitarian system’s investment in market forces and individual self-reliance.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115973481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing scholarship focusses on aspects of labour’s political unionism during neoliberalism. This paper builds on this literature by exploring the endurance of workerism and varied agency of union leaders during this period. It argues that the neoliberal turn transformed trade unionism resulting in continuous struggles between government and labour, and within labour itself. For Makwarimba, neoliberalism gave him renewed agency and relevance. Data from interviews and secondary sources presented in this paper show that he maximised on the liberalisation of labour relations during the 1990s to reinvigorate and set his trade union career on a new trajectory from the decline of the 1980s. It also shows that while neoliberalism, indeed, radicalised labour politics, it also democratised unionism, enabling the flourishment of freedom of association and expression of individual abilities, capabilities and autonomy. The paper, thus, contributes to our understanding of trade unionism’s struggles as it evolved from state corporatism to political unionism and the eventual emergence of workerism, all punctuated by internal fights, and incessant attacks from the state and capital.","PeriodicalId":398229,"journal":{"name":"Third World Thematics: A TWQ Journal","volume":"175 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122007362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
