Snyder","doi":"10.1353/scr.2020.0015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/scr.2020.0015","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Economic development is not possible without increased per capita energy consumption, yet energy consumption has inherently negative impacts on the environment. This creates a problem in sub-Saharan Africa which is experiencing rapid population growth and long-term poverty. Because of this rapid population growth, even maintaining current standards of living will require increased total energy consumption, and alleviating poverty will require further energy consumption. At present, most of the world’s energy supply is met by fossil fuels and fossil fuels have been the means of development for nearly every nation that has ever reached middle-income status. However, if the nations of sub-Saharan Africa attempt to alleviate their poverty via economic growth and use fossil energy to fuel this economic growth, the world is unlikely to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit climate change to less than 1.5 or 2°C. If the earth warms by more than 2°C the effects are likely to be especially dire in sub-Saharan Africa. We argue that this conflict in sub-Saharan Africa between alleviating poverty and addressing climate change is unjust, as African nations and their people have caused little of the carbon pollution that is already warming the planet, and have not benefited from this energy use. Therefore, we argue that the nations of sub-Saharan Africa, and developing nations more generally, are owed some compensation for their lost ability to use fossil fuels and that it is unjust for developed nations to simply encourage low-carbon development in Africa without such compensation.","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"58 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/scr.2020.0015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43390493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lombard","doi":"10.1353/scr.2020.0019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/scr.2020.0019","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:For the first fifty years of military peacekeeping, peacekeepers came far from the sites where they were deployed, the better to be impartial. That has changed dramatically over the last several decades, and nowhere is this clearer than in Africa, where the largest and longest-running United Nations peacekeeping missions are now staffed primarily by Africans, often from neighboring countries. Simultaneously, peacekeepers have been tasked with more-aggressive operations than was previously the case. This essay explores what these shifts look like on a human level, in terms of the interactions, relationships, and possibilities that emerge out of neighbor-peacekeepers. Drawing on ethnographic research with Rwandan soldiers deployed as UN peacekeepers in the Central African Republic (CAR), I argue that relationships between Rwandan peacekeepers and civilians are both familiar and awkward. Neighborliness can, however, be overturned when well-armed people — whether Central Africans or peacekeepers — act aggressively toward each other. This is the conflicted heart of the relationships that go into African peacekeeping in Africa: familiarity and friendliness can coexist with capacity to kill.","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"119 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/scr.2020.0019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42547710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kelly","doi":"10.1353/scr.2020.0012","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/scr.2020.0012","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:In Rue Félix-Faure (2004), novelist Ken Bugul, with her own inner fire and light, refashions the downtown Plateau arrondissement of Dakar, Senegal, radically re-imagining the capital’s real-life city center as a place where social contradictions can be laid bare and havens of interpersonal and moral harmony re-established through community (rather than police) investigation of the scene of a ritually executed leper, discovered at the beginning of the novel, in the usually festive Rue Félix-Faure. This excruciatingly estheticized scene links city structure, public health, sexual violence, and the spirit world, framing Ken Bugul’s violent rectification of gender inequality, her espousal of communities of mutual respect, and her redefinition of African religiosity. Story-telling, blues singing, writing, filmmaking, and arts of the spectacle thoroughly inform this reconfiguration of Dakar-Plateau. Via her artistic characters, the novelist crafts what Edward W. Soja in Thirdspace calls a “real-and-imagined” place, a contestatory “spatiality” where justice can be sought and an African city’s future can be replotted as the intersection of numinous hidden spiritual fields (as defined by Otto Rank and Sylvester Ogbechie) with true-life urban, medical, and esthetic geographies. Ken Bugul’s Rue Félix-Faure is an alternative space of self-governance and fantasy where an improvisational, creative, blues collective develops its version of civil society, thanks to the melding of spirit worlds and daily life. The street’s numinous zone requires those who walk it to recognize, respect, and fear the spirits that pervade its estheticized urbanism and ethics.","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"16 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/scr.2020.0012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44285475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Byakagaba","doi":"10.1353/scr.2020.0016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/scr.2020.0016","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Pastoralism which is a land-based livelihood strategy that involves keeping livestock through opportunistic utilisation of rangeland resources through cyclic movement of herds on communally owned land has been practiced for thousands of years in Africa. In spite of growing literature showing that this practice suits the socio-ecological realities of the rangelands in Africa, it continues to be discouraged and vilified by mainstream range ecologists, political leaders, conservation organisations and bureaucrats. It is perceived as archaic, inefficient and unsustainable. This notion has been challenged by non-equilibrium theorists who argue that pastoralism reduces exposure, sensitivity and enhances adaptive capacity of pastoralists. Pastoralism enables optimisation of the use of the range, facilitates access to seasonally available resources and enables evasion of disease-prone areas thus sustaining livestock production under all circumstances. It promotes ecological health of rangelands by maintaining plant diversity through the historical plant-herbivore interaction. It enhances social capital, mutual assistance networks and community cohesion. In spite of all the aforementioned benefits, governments in Africa are using discursive and governmentality means of exercising power to limit pastoralism. This has negatively affected the socio-ecological resilience of areas occupied by pastoralists. There is need to integrate pastoralists’ knowledge in land use and pastoral development policies to ensure that they are responsive to the socio-ecological realities.","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"71 - 78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/scr.2020.0016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49188661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This struggle led to the development of a martial culture that values military service, but also normalizes extreme levels of violence against civilians. Fighting – beginning in 1983 with the first of the independence movements and continuing today with an ongoing civil war – has displaced more than four million Southerners, undermining, and in some cases destroying, traditional tribal systems of governance, social traditions, and economic livelihoods. It has also contributed to distrust of the north and feelings of victimization. The independence movement also played a key role in creating the unstable political system of South Sudan. Seeking international support, John Garang – the leader of movement – first adopted implemented Marxist ideas and then Western democratic principles as the international political climate changed, retaining key aspects of each and creating an uneasy combination. This – combined with economic forces - prevented the development of strong institutions. Corruption remains rampant, destroying public trust in the government. Tribal rivalries—although temporarily abated by Garang’s movement—haven torn the country apart in a new civil war, deepening existing cleavages. Nonetheless, there have been some positive developments. The spread of Christianity and the development of an indigenous church has been a powerful counterforce against government corruption and a violent, martial culture. In addition, the South Sudanese people have found ways of coping with chaos, mass atrocities and starvation, demonstrating their extraordinary resilience to adversity.","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"79 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/scr.2020.0017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47280267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
