This volume examines just how successful community-based
conservation approaches have been in their twin objectives of
conserving African environments and improving rural livelihoods.
Recent conservation policies in Africa have followed three main
principles: 1) that conservation should be community-based; 2) that
things conserved should be managed to achieve both development and
conservation goals; 3) that markets should play a role in shaping
the incentives for conservation. The editors and contributors of
this volume examine the success or otherwise of these practices in
a number of different contexts across the continent. Uganda:
Fountain Publishers; Kenya: EAEP; Zimbabwe: Weaver Press
The subject of race and identity is a burning issue which continues
to occupy the attention not only of South Africans but also the
wider residents of the continent of Africa and those who are
Africans in the Diaspora. The outburst of xenophobic attacks
against foreigners mostly of Black African origins in some
communities of Kwa-Zulu Natal and areas of Johannesburg during 2008
and 2015 has raised questions about the social cohesion of South
African society linked to unresolved structural identity issues
bequeathed by the nation's past colonial and apartheid legacy. This
publication argues that there is an embedded schizophrenic identity
crisis within the society that requires scholarly interrogation.
The chapters assemble scholarly voices from different ethnic groups
that examine the central research question of this study: Who is an
African? Within the wider Southern African context, identity and
ethnicity politics are framing nationalist economic policies and
are impacting on social cohesion within many countries. Writing
from different social and racial locations the authors have
critically engaged with the central question and offer some
important insights that can serve as a resource for all nations
grappling with issues of race, ethnicity, identity constructed
politics, and social cohesion.
