This article examines the Tanzanian context and adds to the ongoing academic discourse by presenting tangible manifestations of awareness-raising and education in village communities. It summarises the efforts and results of NGOs in Northern Tanzania working with and run by persons with albinism (PWAs) and presents an analysis of both success and failure. It highlights the work of the NGO named Peacemakers for Albinism and Community (originally Albino Peacemakers). The article argues that safeguarding the vulnerable groups of PWAs remains a task at all levels of society, from remote villages via central governments to the international community; therefore, educating people about this condition – even PWAs themselves – carries the highest relevance.","PeriodicalId":51744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary African Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"561 - 573"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46629870","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}

It localises the analysis in Nairobi city where the phenomenon can be understood within the current debates of civilian activation of militarisation and the blurring of boundaries between civilian and military institutions.

Much of the extant studies have examined success stories of pre-electoral coalition-building in established democracies. There is less focus on why African opposition parties fail to form coalitions. In seeking to contribute to this debate, the article examines why Zimbabwean opposition parties failed to coalesce to form a pre-electoral coalition ahead of the 2018 election. This is against the axiom in the literature that pre-electoral coalitions do matter in increasing opposition stakes in elections, as read in line with the historical context of countries like Kenya. Using evidence gleaned from a qualitative study, it is argued that opposition-led pre-electoral coalitions remain uneasy to establish, especially in competitive authoritarian regimes like Zimbabwe, owing to structural and co-ordination challenges.","PeriodicalId":51744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary African Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"544 - 560"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46885642","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}

Although there is a budding literature on digital activism in Africa, it is unclear whether it translates into tangible social change on the continent. Similarly, the surge of digital repression by African leaders is yet to be accounted for. Using qualitative data, the author claims that digital activism amounts to `small gains' as against holistic changes in the form of reform and restructuring of socioeconomic and political institutions, systems and policies that engender political repression, human rights violation, and socioeconomic miseries on the continent. The study argues that the surge of digital repression by African leaders is aimed at frustrating use of the internet and digital technologies for mass mobilisation and physical protests considered a threat to the longevity of their repressive rule.","PeriodicalId":51744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary African Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"526 - 543"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42220709","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}

Critical attention has been paid to how hegemonic structures of power embedded in higher education spaces continue to exclude and marginalise female students through gendered, sexualised and other forms of social identity and difference which are often taken for granted. As such, the study explores how female students at a university in Zimbabwe process, react and respond to this collective expression of male hegemony through sexist humour. The study further explores how these enactments may be constrained and therefore serve to re/produce, legitimise and instil gendered norms of violence. Findings from this study reveal how women respond to, resist and affirm their position in higher education.","PeriodicalId":51744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary African Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"480 - 494"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43957467","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}

This paper examines the radicalisation of young Muslims in Ghanaian universities. It analyses the different structural and managerial models adopted by three of the oldest public universities to govern students’ religious activities on campus. We draw on data from several sources to argue that the weaknesses of the management of religious spaces in university campuses and the marginalisation of Muslim students’ association in university chaplaincies contributes to the radicalisation of young Muslims in Ghana. The unregulated sacred spaces encourage students to search for religious resources on the internet; a significant source that helps to radicalise young Muslims in institutions of higher learning.","PeriodicalId":51744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary African Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"463 - 479"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47998737","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}

The importance of ideology for party politics in Nigeria seems to have declined with the market economy’s dominance over other systems. The deployment of neoliberalism as an ideology in the last three decades through common-sense rhetoric about the goodness of the free market, aided by international lending institutions, has led to a dilution of individual party ideologies.","PeriodicalId":51744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary African Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"431 - 448"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44721820","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}

Engaging with the effects of particular policies has deepened our collective understanding of how historical and institutional continuities continue to reverberate in the present, influencing the scope of social transformation while also facilitating particular modes of social, political, and economic organisation. However, an approach that focuses primarily on policy effects has left the social processes through which policy is produced largely unattended. Building on anthropological approaches to the study of policy, this collection aims to contribute to debates on state and society in contemporary Africa through a set of articles that analyse policy processes and outline how the interactions of actors, organisations, and institutions produce and reflect social continuity and change across the colonial and post-colonial periods.","PeriodicalId":51744,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary African Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":"317 - 332"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45097702","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}
