Unter Bezugnahme auf die einschlägige Literatur vorwiegend jüngeren Datums und zahlreichen Beispielen aus der afrikanischen Gegenwart wird der komplexe Charakter der nationalen Märkte und Wirtschaft afrikanischer Staaten analysiert. Diese lassen sich nicht einfach in formal (modern) und informell (traditionell) trennen, sondern es existiert ein kompliziertes Netz von Parallel-, informellen, schwarzen etc. Märkten auf der einen und den sogenannten formalen Wirtschaftsbereichen auf der anderen Seite. Meist ist es der Staat selbst, dessen Politik die Grenze zwischen diesen beiden Sektoren festlegt, eine Grenze, die verschoben werden kann und fließende Übergänge zeigt. Die Tatsache, daß der Staat meist Auslöser eines sich-heraus-Lösens aus dem formalen Wirtschaftssektor ist, erweist sich als ein wesentliches Entwicklungshemmnis für die afrikanischen Ökonomien.

This book attempts to make a non-Stalinist Marxist analysis of South African political economy. For this purpose, it begins with a discussion of theories of racial discrimination and outlines the theory informing this book. It then provides a brief history relevant to the theory. Chapters on the nature of capital in South Africa and then on the nature of labour follow. These chapters are succeeded by one which deals with the programmes of political parties as well as the forms of change proposed and introduced by the state. The position of South Africa in the world economy follows and the last two chapters discuss the question of consciousness and alternative strategies for change. The thesis put forward is that the peculiar social relations of South Africa are to be understood as a twentieth century solution to the capital/worker relation. (DÜI-Hff)

A significant amount of literature on the student movement in South Africa is characterised by two limitations. Firstly, a significant amount of this literature is found in un‑academic and non‑peer‑reviewed sources, such as social media, online newspapers, blog posts and other platforms. Secondly, some of this literature is characterised by an absence of theory in offering us critical analysis of the emergent conditions of the student movement as a phenomenon in South African higher education (SAHE). In this article, we respond to the above gaps by contributing to the scholarly development and critical analysis of the student movement in SAHE. In order to respond to the above two gaps, we firstly provide a brief historical and contextual environment that has contributed to the emergence of the student movement phenomenon in SAHE. Secondly, we introduce Nancy Fraser's social justice perspective, in offering us the theoretical and conceptual tools we need to look at the struggles and challenges that confront student movements, focusing in particular on the challenges that frustrate them in relating and interacting as peers on an equal footing in society. Using Fraser's social justice framework to look at the #MustFall movements will allow us to better understand them as complex phenomena in SAHE and allow us to properly understand their emergence.Keywords: higher education; institutional differentiation; participatory parity; social justice; student movements; student politics

It has been observed that one of the major challenges of the 21st century is globalization. The wave of global economy is affecting every other sphere in the modern dispensation. Globalization has become a modern currency that is currently influencing even the most remotest parts of the globe. This modern phenomenon has the capacity of unifying global economy, politics, technology, culture and even religion. Whether globalization is a good thing or a bad thing rather depends on the individuals. The critics of the trend suggest that it may lead to a homogenization of cultures and everyday life, coupled with lack of respect for the individuals in the society and as well the disruption of national identities.

A major challenge facing South Africa is that of reconstructing a meaningful and inclusive notion of citizenship in the aftermath of its apartheid past and in the face of narratives of divisiveness that reach back from this past and continue to reverberate in the present. Many of the problems confronting South African social transformation are similar to the rest of the postcolonial world that continues to wrestle with the inherited colonial divide between citizen and subject. In this article, we explore how engagement with diversity and marginalization is taking place across a range of non-institutional and informal political arenas. Here, we elaborate on an approach towards the linguistic practices of the political everyday in terms of a notion of linguistic citizenship and by way of conclusion argue that the contradictions and turmoils of contemporary South Africa require further serious deliberation around alternative notions of citizenship and their semiotics.

The Politics of Religious Change on the Upper Guinea Coast offers an in-depth analysis of an iconoclastic religious movement initiated by a Muslim preacher among coastal Baga farmers in the French colonial period. With an ethnographic approach that listens as carefully to those who suffered iconoclastic violence as to those who wanted to 'get rid of custom', this work discusses the extent to which iconoclasm produces a rupture of religious knowledge and identity, and analyses its relevance in the making of modern nations and citizens. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers, particular
