Civic Agency in Africa: Arts of Resistance in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9781847010865 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The recent eruption of popular protests across North Africa and the Middle East has reopened academic debate on the meaning and strategies of resistance in the 21st century. This book argues that Western notions of state and civil society provide only a limited understanding of how power and resistance operate in the African context, where informality is central to the way both state officials and citizens exercise agency. With the principle of informality as a template, the chapters in this volume collectively examine the various modes - organised and unorganised, formal and informal, urban...

Humor, Silence, and Civil Society in Nigeria
ISBN: 9781580465519 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Humor, Silence, and Civil Society in Nigeria, Ebenezer Obadare offers an innovative perspective on the idea and reality of civil society. Mobilizing a wide range of concepts and insights from political science, African studies, sociology, cultural studies, media studies, anthropology, communications theory, and international development, Obadare develops a notion of civil society that radically departs from the literature's axiomatic focus on voluntary civic associations and focuses instead on more informal strategies of resistance, such as humor and silence. Compellingly argued, Humor,...

Statism, Youth and Civic Imagination. A Critical Study of the National Youth Service Corps Programme in Nigeria
ISBN: 9782869783034 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This study explores the service-citizenship nexus in Nigeria, using the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme as an empirical backdrop. It attempts to understand the relationship between civic service and citizenship on the one hand, and it examines the question as to whether youth service promotes a sense of citizenship and patriotism on the other. In the relevant studies on service and sociology, the assumption that service is antecedent to, and impacts positively on citizenship, is taken for granted. However, conclusions from this study call for an urgent rethinking of this wisdom....

The Handbook of Civil Society in Africa
ISBN: 9781493945368 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 490 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This volume brings together the most up to date analyses of civil society in Africa from the best scholars and researchers working on the subject. Being the first of its kind, it casts a panoramic look at the African continent, drawing out persisting, if often under-communicated, variations in regional discourses. In a majority of notionally 'global' studies, Africa has received marginal attention, a marginality often highlighted by the usual token chapter.

Governance and the Crisis of Rule in Contemporary Africa: Leadership in Transformation
ISBN: 9781137563576 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This volume advances a slowly coalescing consensus around the imperative to ground discussions of leadership in Africa in the longue duree of the continent's specific history, culture, economy, and politics. It illuminates the conditions under which political leadership in postcolonial Africa has been produced, and the extent to which those conditions have shaped the kind of leaders and leadership paths which have consistently emerged across the continent. More often than not, popular rhetoric on leadership in African politics has tended to swing between the extremes of absolute condemnation...

Thisvolume advances extant reflections on the state constituted as the Ur-Power in society, particularly in Africa.It analyzes how various agents within the Nigerian society'encounter' the state - ranging from the most routine form of contact to thespectacular.
