Land, Mobility, and Belonging in West Africa
AvCarola Lentz
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Focusing on an area of the savannah in northern Ghana and southwestern Burkina Faso, Land, Mobility, and Belonging in West Africa explores how rural populations have secured, contested, and negotiated access to land and how they have organized their communities despite being constantly on the move as farmers or migrant laborers. Carola Lentz seeks to understand how those who claim native status hold sway over others who are perceived to have come later. As conflicts over land, agriculture, and labor have multiplied in Africa, Lentz shows how politics and power play decisive roles in determining access to scarce resources and in changing notions of who belongs and who is a stranger.

Imagining Futures
Memory and Belonging in an African Family

What keeps a family together? In Imagining Futures, authors Carola Lentz and Isidore Lobnibe offer a unique look at one extended African family, currently comprising over five hundred members in Northern Ghana and Burkina Faso.Members of this extended family, like many others in the region, find themselves living increasingly farther apart and working in diverse occupations ranging from religious clergy and civil service to farming. What keeps them together as a family? In their groundbreaking work, Lentz and Lobnibe argue that shared memories, rather than only material interests, bind a family together.Imagining Futures explores the changing practices of remembering in an African family and offers a unique contribution to the growing field of memory studies, beyond the usual focus of Europe and America. Lentz and Lobnibe explore how, in an increasingly globalized, postcolonial world, memories themselves are not static accounts of past events but are actually malleable and shaped by both current concerns and imagined futures.

Ethnicity in Ghana
The Limits of Invention

Although African ethnicity has become a highly fertile field of enquiry in recent years, most of the research is concentrated on southern and central Africa, and has passed Ghana by. This volume extends many of the distilled insights, but also modifies them in the light of the Ghanaian evidence. The collection is multidisciplinary in scope and spans the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial contexts. A central contention of the volume is that, while there were significant regional variations, ethnicity was not purely a colonial 'invention'. The boundaries of 'we-groups' have constantly mutated from pre-colonial times, while European categorization owed much to indigenous ways of seeing. The contributors explore the role of European administrators and recruitment officers as well as African cultural brokers in shaping new identities. The interaction of gender and ethnic consciousness is explicitly addressed. The volume also examines the formulation of the national question in Ghana today - in debates over language policy and conflicts over land and chieftaincy.
Ethnicity and the Making of History in Northern Ghana
AvCarola Lentz
Inbunden, Engelska, 2006

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Drawing on two decades of research this social and political history of North-Western Ghana traces the creation of new ethnic and territorial boundaries, categories and forms of self-understanding, and represents a major contribution to debates on ethnicity, colonialism and the ‘production of history’. It explores the creation and redefinition of ethnic distinctions and commonalities by African and European actors, showing that ethnicity’s power derives from a contradiction: while ethnic identities purport to be non-negotiable, creating permanent bonds, stability and security, the boundaries of the communities created and the associated traits and practices are malleable and adaptable to specific interests and contexts.

First published in 1999. This book examines process of change in African, South African and European countries by analysing the ways in which food is an integral part of ongoing ecological, economic, political and social transformations. It also provides research on dietary changes from direct intervention by people and agencies. The majority of these fascinating case studies are based on original fieldwork, they are quite diverse, as are the nature and scope of changes considered. The authors discuss rural as well as urban modes of food consumption, dietary changes in different societal contexts, and food-based rituals. The cases presented suggest alterative readings of some established models of changing food habits, and contribute to a more comprehensive history of dietary transformations.

Remembering Independence

Remembering Independence explores the commemoration and remembrance of independence following the great wave of decolonisation after the Second World War. Drawing on case studies from Africa, Asia, and with reference to the Pacific, the authors find that remembering independence was, and still is, highly dynamic. From flag-raising moments to the present day, the transfer of authority from colonial rule to independent nation-states has served as a powerful mnemonic focal point. Remembering independence, in state as well as non-state constructions, connects to changing contemporary purposes and competing politic visions. Independence is a flexible idea, both a moment in time and a project, a carrier of hopes and ideals of social justice and freedom, but also of disappointments and frustrated futures.This richly illustrated volume draws attention to the broad range of media employed in remembering independence, ranging from museums and monuments to textual, oral and ritual formats of commemorative events, such as national days. Combining insights from history and anthropology, this book will be essential reading for all students of the history of empire, decolonisation, nation-building and post-colonial politics of memory.

Familien spielen eine wichtige Rolle in den umfassenden sozioökonomischen Transformationsprozessen, die die Gesellschaften des Globalen Südens seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erfahren haben. Eine zentrale Achse dieser Transformationen ist Arbeit—die Veränderung von Arbeitsprozessen und -beziehungen, das Entstehen neuer Tätigkeitsfelder mit neuen Qualifikationsprofilen sowie die räumliche Neuordnung von Produktion und Reproduktion. Diese Umwälzungen setzen für die Gestaltung individueller Lebensläufe neue Rahmenbedingungen. Doch sind individuelle

Bildungs- und Arbeitsbiographien in familiäre Beziehungsgeflechte eingebettet. An Beispielen aus Nordghana erörtert der Beitrag Dynamiken sozialer Mobilität und Arbeit im Kontext der Koordinaten biographische Zeit—Familien-Zeit—historische Zeit (T. Hareven) erkunden. Zwischen individuellen Lebensläufen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen vermitteln, so die zentrale These, durchaus eigensinnige familiäre Dynamiken.

Life Course, Work, and Labour in Global History

This multidisciplinary volume offers unique perspectives, across the globe and throughout the centuries, on the complexity of the nexus between work and the life course. For industrialized regions, from Germany and Western Europe to China and Japan, it questions the widespread notion of an overall growing working life course instability, since the 1970s. For unindustrialized or industrializing regions, from West Africa to state socialist East Central Europe, as well as for transnational and transcontinental labour migrations, it shows the enormous influence of the extended family and wider kin on individual pathways into and out of work. For early modern Europe, India, and China, and up to twentieth-century state socialism and to current welfare states, it stresses and concretizes the crucial impact of age and gender for both societal labour relations and individual work-related decision making. With all chapters based on original research, the volume reflects a close cooperation between historians, anthropologists, and sociologists. Its multidisciplinary approach finds expression in its methodological plurality, reaching from archival research and sophisticated statistical analyses to biographical interviews and participant observation. This mix allows to grasp the interaction between societal change and individual agency.

70 Jahre Goethe-InstitutCarola Lentz bietet eine ebenso informative wie konzise Geschichte des Goethe-Instituts und seiner sich wandelnden Aufgaben im Kontext bundesrepublikanischer und globaler Zeitgeschichte. Zugleich eröffnen Erfahrungsberichte von ehemaligen und aktuellen MitarbeiterInnen lebendige Eindrücke in die Arbeit eines der wichtigsten weltweit agierenden Kulturinstitute.Vom Kulturexport zum globalen Netzwerk – unter diesem Motto kann man die siebzigjährige Geschichte des Goethe-Instituts zusammenfassen, die eng mit der jüngeren Geschichte Deutschlands und mit globalen Umbrüchen verwoben ist. Das Institut musste immer wieder neue Antworten auf externe und interne Herausforderungen entwickeln. Anfangs war seine Arbeit auf die Förderung der deutschen Sprache im Ausland und den Export »deutscher Kultur« fokussiert. Doch schon bald wurde das Kulturverständnis vielfältiger, und das Goethe-Institut wurde zur größten Mittler-Organisation der deutschen auswärtigen Kultur- und Bildungspolitik. Dabei bildete sich auch eine neue Rolle heraus: Heute agiert das Goethe-Institut, in 98 Ländern mit insgesamt 157 Instituten, vor allem als globales Netzwerk lokaler und regionaler kultureller Initiativen.

From cultural export to global network: Germany''s cultural instituteHow have the challenges, role, and vision of one of Europe''s most important cultural institutes changed over the past decades? Carola Lentz and Marie-Christin Gabriel offer a concise history of the Goethe-Institut from its beginnings in Cold-War West Germany to its mission in today''s multipolar world. Historical documents combined with interviews with former and current staff members provide lively impressions of the institute''s work in 98 countries.From cultural export to global network: this phrase aptly summarises the over seventy-year story of the Goethe-Institut, which is closely interwoven with Germany''s post-war history and with global transformations. In the beginning, the institute''s work was focused on promoting the German language abroad and exporting ''German culture''. But the understanding of culture soon became more diverse. The Goethe-Institut developed into the largest intermediary organisation in German foreign cultural and educational policy, and in the process eventually redefined its role. Today, the Goethe-Institut, with a total of 151 institutes in 98 countries, operates primarily as a global network of local and regional cultural initiatives. An up-to-date afterword reflects how the institute is responding to the recent multiple crises such as the Corona epidemic, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the increasing number of illiberal regimes.

2010 feierten siebzehn afrikanische Länder ein halbes Jahrhundert Unabhängigkeit. Die Jubiläen waren eindrucksvolle Beispiele für die Selbstinszenierung afrikanischer Regierungen und Eliten und wurden vielerorts mit bunten Volksfesten zelebriert. Sie eröffneten aber auch Raum für kritische Debatten über die Vergangenheit und die gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen. Das Jahr 1960 ist und bleibt zentraler Bezugspunkt der Erinnerung. Junge Forscherinnen und Forscher der Universität Mainz haben die Jubiläumsfeiern 2010 vor Ort beobachtet und berichten über die komplexe Aushandlung nationaler Identitäts- und Erinnerungspolitiken.afrika@50. Forscherinnen und Forscher der Universität Mainz haben die Jubiläumsfeiern 2010 vor Ort beobachtet und berichten über die komplexe Aushandlung nationaler Identitäts- und Erinnerungspolitiken in Kamerun, Madagaskar, der Demokratischen Republik Kongo, Benin, Côte d''Ivoire, Gabun, Mali, Nigeria und Burkina Faso. Ein Bericht widmet sich den Feiern in Ghana, das bereits 1957 unabhängig wurde, ein anderer Namibia, das erst 1990 seine Unabhängigkeit erhielt. Ergänzt wird der Band um einen Fotoessay.
