The Politics of Neoliberal Reforms in Africa. State and civil society in Cameroon
ISBN: 9789956717415 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Neoliberalism has become the dominant development agenda in Africa. Faced with a deep economic and political crisis, African governments have been compelled by powerful external agencies, in particular the Bretton Woods institutions and western states, to pursue this agenda as a necessary precondition for the receipt of development aid. What is particularly striking in Africa, however, is that neoliberal experiments there have displayed such remarkable diversity. This may be due not only to substantial differences in historical, economic and political trajectories on the African continent but...

Crisis and Neoliberal Reforms in Africa. Civil Society and Agro-Industry in Anglophone Cameroon's Plantation Economy
ISBN: 9789956578030 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book discusses the social and political consequences of the economic and financial crisis that befell African economies since the 1980s, using as case study the plantation economy of the Anglophone region of Cameroon. The focus is thus on recent efforts to liberalize and privatize an agro-industrial enterprise where overseas capital and its domestic partners have converged, the consequent modes of production and labour, and the alternatives proposed and resistance generated. The study details how the unprecedented crisis caused great commotion in the region, and presented a serious...

Gender and Plantation Labour in Africa. The Story of Tea Pluckers' Struggles in Cameroon
ISBN: 9789956727308 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the relationship between plantation labour and gender in Africa. Such a study is the more opportune because most of the existing works on plantation labour in Africa seem to have either under-studied or even ignored the changing conceptions of gender on the continent in recent times. One of the book's major concerns is to demonstrate that the introduction of plantation labour during colonial rule in Africa has had significant consequences for gender roles and relations within and beyond the capitalist labour process. The book focuses on two tea estates in Anglophone...

Neoliberal Bandwagonism: Civil society and the politics of belonging in Anglophone Cameroon
ISBN: 9789956558230 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While neoliberals typically view civil society organizations as vital channels for the implementation of economic and political reforms, they are also inclined to blame the politics of belonging for the poor record of these reforms. Piet Konings rejects such notions and argues that the relationship between civil society and the politics of belonging is more complex in Africa than Western donors and scholars are inclined to admit. He argues that ethno-regional associations and movements are more significant constituents of civil society in Africa than the conventional organizations that are...

Crisis and Creativity: Exploring the Wealth of the African Neighbourhood
ISBN: 9789004150041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. At times of economic and political crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa, urban dwellers display a large degree of creativity in their survival strategies by developing social networks and constructing imaginative and original practices and ideas. This volume views the urban neighbourhood from two different perspectives and explores the importance of these creative processes. The first approach considers the neighbourhood as a geographical domain in which people are engaged in a variety of activities to advance their material and immaterial well-being, making use of their 'wealth' of opportunities,...
