Identity Transformation and Politicization in Africa: Shifting
Mobilization, edited by Toyin Falola and Celine A. Jacquemin,
questions whether identity is providing and sustaining power for
elites, or fueling oppression and conflicts, being mobilized for
exclusionary movements versus inclusive societal changes, or
educating in ways that foster progress and development. Do aspects
of African identities and the challenges they present also hold
prospects for more inclusive and peaceful democratic and
representative futures? The contributors cover a wide spectrum of
expertise on different African countries (Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana,
Rwanda, Morocco, and Libya). They come from diverse disciplines
(History, Political Science, Public Administration, Philosophy,
Economics and Finance, Cultural Studies, Music, and International
Relations), and use various methods and approaches in their
research. Some contributors belong to the groups whose identity is
being scrutinized and are participants in the efforts to politicize
and mobilize, while others remain outside observers, who share some
traits or interests with the African identities examined and
provide different kinds of insights. Several chapters explore how
innovative pedagogical projects studying African history and
identity-facilitated by the internet and new social media-transform
and connect with the African continent. Each author provides
important insights on how mobilization around identity issues has
been shifting with the internet and social media.
