In fact, it has become an existential threat such that national dailies break even with captivating, yet regrettably stylistic reportage of this ugly menace. The popular discourse for this threat is rooted in the motive for financial gains. In contrast, this paper situates it within the context of education eradication and Islamization project. In this light, the paper aims to pigeonhole the interface between the rising menace of banditry in the Northern Nigeria and the mission of annihilating western education which would further set the region on the track of socio-economic backwardness and form the catalyst for Islamization. The current form of banditry has a close relationship with known terrorist groups in the Nigerian state (Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Ansaru) and therefore, has common ideology of eradicating education in the region and setting the center stage for Islamization. Abduction of students and ransom collections are just logic in furtherance of the ideology. The paper does not involve field work; hence it adopts a qualitative approach that draws data from scholarly works, newspapers, and publications from international bodies. It recommends therefore, that government adopt a stick and carrot approach; provide more security around schools and prosecute identified sponsors and apprehended bandits.","PeriodicalId":47356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"554 - 585"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45399578","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}

The medical remedy was understandably unavailable. So, Europeans, Americans, and similar regions of the world fell back on their traditional approaches to disruptive events of the type that COVID-19 represents. Many African countries would be largely led to mechanically copy the template of these other regions to varying degrees irrespective of the often starkly different economic, political, and social milieus that confront them. This article examines the policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic by African political office holders and the politics of COVID-19 remedy in Africa as scenes for the enactment of cultural racism and biomedical imperialism. Relying on the theoretical frameworks of cultural racism and postcolonialism, the article interrogates what happened with Africa’s policy response and attempts to find a home-grown remedy to the global COVID-19 pandemic as reflections of the underlying patterns of relationalities that determine the behavior of those in leadership positions under normal times—a pattern that only appears in stark relief under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":47356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"385 - 410"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65206892","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}

Starks","doi":"10.1177/00219347211072874","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00219347211072874","url":null,"abstract":"The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has galvanized citizens of all races, ethnicities, genders and ideologies in a common cause to protest racism. Its central focus is protesting continued racism against African Americans, but it has spurred a broader ideological demand for equality for all Americans. The movement does not seek Black dominance, but equal treatment in the justice system and general society. In opposition to this movement are antithetical movements supporting the continuation of the historical dominance of White males in government, private sector leadership roles, and in the general societal hierarchical perspective of superiority and dominance. This opposition is fueled by fear of a country that has evolved into a blend of races and genders embracing the “uniqueness of the other” rather than disdain for the perceived threat from the non-majority. For some, this perceived threat is substantiated through the capitulation of government leaders and radical groups that aggressively recruit members by feeding on fearful perceptions of a country in evolution where Whites are no longer in the majority. The focus of this essay is an exploration of subtle and not so obvious factors contributing to continued antithetical movements combating the ideology of the BLM movement. The “fear” driving these movements are tied to relative deprivation theory, although this article argues these antithetical movements are based on perceived rather than real causes of deprivation and that they are driven by those who seek to take advantage of them.","PeriodicalId":47356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Black Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"346 - 365"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44563162","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}
