Trade unions, burial societies, students, religious and gender
movements, riots and mafias. Not to mention class. The kaleidoscope
of African social movements is complex and broad. But their
histories have strong common threads - the experience of past
oppression and the constant struggle for an identity that will
encompass survival. How have they contributed to the nature of
African civil society and the formation of democracy? The chapters
are a living dialogue on the interpretation of these movements, and
a critical and analytical appraisal of the African intellectual
heritage itself. The book brings together a vast array of writers
and topics from all over Africa - from bread riots in Tunisia,
Communist Parties in Sudan, the "Kaduna Mafia" in Nigeria, burial
societies in Zimbabwe, and the working class in Algeria.
