Book excerpt: Avant-propos La question des universités, au Québec, attire rarement l’attention du public, sauf lorsqu’il s’agit de revoir à la hausse les droits de scolarité requis des étudiants. Pourtant, il est un autre aspect du financement des universités québécoises dont on parle encore moins, et qui n’est pas moins problématique : les énormes disparités du financement public que reçoivent les établissements d’enseignement postsecondaires au Québec, cégeps et universités, suivant qu’ils appartiennent au secteur anglophone ou au secteur francophone. Les chiffres parlent d’eux-mêmes, les universités anglophones du Québec obtenaient récemment plus de 29 % des subventions publiques et décrochaient plus de 35 % des subventions fédérales. Dans une étude aussi bien utile qu’éclairante, Louis Préfontaine brosse un portrait général de la situation, qui va bien delà de la simple comptabilité. Son étude montre comment tout exercice de comparaison entre les établissements postsecondaires au Québec ne peut faire l’économie d’une réflexion sur ce qu’on entend par « minorité » ou « communauté anglophone ». Même en prenant un critère moins restrictif que celui que propose Louis Préfontaine de cette « communauté », il apparaît que les établissements postsecondaires de la « minorité » anglophone sont largement surfinancés comparativement à son poids démographique réel. L’auteur illustre, tableaux à l’appui, les multiples conséquences de ces déséquilibres, et notamment comment les institutions postsecondaires anglophones contribuent à créer autour d’elles, au-delà de leur campus, une dynamique assimilatoire favorable à la langue anglaise. De plus, l’auteur a le mérite de comparer les établissements postsecondaires dans l’ensemble du Canada et de signaler à notre attention que le financement universitaire par personne pour un francophone est largement en deçà de celui que reçoit un anglophone. Si, en théorie, pourrait penser que l’État du Québec finance, à même les fonds publics, d’un côté un réseau universitaire pour la majorité nationale d’intégration – pour reprendre l’expression de Louis Préfontaine – et de l’autre, un réseau parallèle pour sa minorité linguistique, dans les faits, on s’aperçoit que le Québec est sans doute l’un des rares États – souverains ou fédérés – qui entretient deux réseaux d’enseignement complets et concurrents, comme si deux majorités nationales d’intégration cohabitaient sur le même territoire. La création de deux mégahôpitaux universitaires à Montréal, qui concourt au surfinancement du réseau universitaire anglophone, viendra entériner ce système de facto de la double majorité. La comparaison internationale qu’établit monsieur Préfontaine révèle en quoi le cas du Québec est une « anomalie », puisque généralement, les minorités linguistiques ailleurs dans le monde jouissent ou bien de droits scolaires inexistants, ou bien d’un système d’éducation limité aux premiers cycles d’enseignement, ou bien d’un système plus complet au bénéfice strict de la minorité. Au Québec, à l’inverse, l’État accepte et finance le fait que les universités de sa « minorité » se soient transformées en universités de la majorité anglophone nord-américaine ainsi que le remarque l’auteur, au lieu de régler le financement public des universités et des cégeps sur un partage des ressources plus équitable et représentatif des équilibres démo-linguistiques. Tant et aussi longtemps que la base du financement public des universités et cégeps reposera sur un système de « marché aux étudiants », la subvention étant fonction du nombre d’étudiants inscrits et diplômés dans un établissement et des disciplines, les déséquilibres constatés par Louis Préfontaine, loin de s’amenuiser, risquent de s’amplifier. En ce sens, en dépit de la création sous Daniel Johnson d’une deuxième université francophone à Montréal en 1969 et de l’adoption de la loi 101 en 1977, l’enseignement supérieur en français est loin encore d’occuper la juste place qu’il pourrait prendre au Québec, d’autant plus que le Québécois francophone, en moyenne, s’instruit encore moins à l’université que le Canadien en général, ou l’Anglo-québécois. En conclusion, Louis Préfontaire envisage divers scénarios correctifs : appliquer la loi 101 au cégep et au premier cycle universitaire, s’inspirer de la formule « hybride » lettonne qui oblige les établissements de la minorité à consacrer une partie appréciable de leurs enseignements dans la langue de la majorité, rajuster à la baisse le financement octroyé aux universités anglophones, en fonction du poids réel de la « communauté » historique d’expression anglaise. Il y a sans doute d’autres scénarios, que n’envisage pas l’auteur, et qui impliquent la considération d’autres facteurs et contraintes juridiques, financières, institutionnelles, etc. Quoi qu’il en soit, peu importe le sort qu’on fera aux propositions de Louis Préfontaine, il sera inévitable que l’on débatte avec rigueur et sérénité de ces enjeux, s’il est vrai que la défense de la langue et de la culture françaises au Québec ne s’arrêtent pas à la sortie de nos écoles secondaires.

Book excerpt: In A History of the University Presses in Apartheid South Africa, Elizabeth le Roux examines scholarly publishing history, academic freedom and knowledge production during the apartheid era. Using archival materials, comprehensive bibliographies, and political sociology theory, this work analyses the origins, publishing lists and philosophies of the university presses. The university presses are often associated with anti-apartheid publishing and the promotion of academic freedom, but this work reveals both greater complicity and complexity. Elizabeth le Roux demonstrates that the university presses cannot be considered oppositional – because they did not resist censorship and because they operated within the constraints of the higher education system – but their publishing strategies became more liberal over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the advent of democracy in 1994, South Africa has been engaged in an unprecedented exercise of national soul-searching, torn between the need to lay to rest centuries of racial conflict and the desire to come to terms with its traumatic history. This book asks whether the country has begun to turn the corner on the legacy of collective hurt. To do so it ranges in scope across 350 years of South African history, encompassing the struggle against the apartheid regime, the downfall of white supremacy, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the first 25 years of democracy, up to more recent movements, such as #RhodesMustFall, or the inquests into the 2012 Marikana massacre, that point to the persistence of traumatic memory in contemporary society. The authors assembled here set out to analyse the representation of such memory, how it has been woven into narratives, recorded, preserved and questioned, and how issues of individual and collective responsibility have been grafted onto it through the visual arts, literature, political discourse and public action. In focusing on memory along with its derived forms of memorialization, collective memory, nostalgia, or post-memory, our contributors pose a fundamental question: is South Africa finally coming to the end of the post-apartheid transition period? Do the decades of memory work on racial violence and repression examined here hold out hope for the nation to make peace with its past?

This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999 (August 30 - September 2) the Pan African Anthropological Association (PAAA) marked the 10th anniversary of its creation by holding its 9th Annual Conference in Yaounde, Cameroon - the city and country of its birth. The conference, themed "The Anthropology of Africa: Challenges for the 21st Century", was attended by some seventy participants, mostly African. Among the international participants was Dr Sydel Silverman, President of the Wenner Gren Foundation at the time - a long term partner of the PAAA; she was present at the inaugural conference in 1988. The conference proceedings were initially published in 2000 with very limited circulation. Given the continued relevance of the papers presented, and in view of the call by the President of the PAAA for African anthropologists to reunite anthropological theory and practice in the teaching programmes of African universities, the PAAA is pleased to republish the proceedings of its landmark 9th Annual Conference. The book consists of forty three divided into eight parts, namely: i) teaching anthropology in the decades ahead; ii) Health Challenges: HIV/AIDS Anthropological Perspectives; iii) NGOS: Use and Misuse of Anthropology; iv) Anthropological Focus on Environment; v) Some Applied Issues in Anthropology; vi) The African Family in Crisis; vii) Ethnicity and Ethnic Conflicts; and viii) Population issues and anthropology: Fertility Crisis. Paul Nkwi concludes his introduction to the volume with these words: "The Anthropology of Africa will remain for a long time, fundamentally applied if it is to meet the challenges of the 21st Century."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the global history of anti-apartheid and international solidarity with southern African freedom struggles from the 1960s. It examines the institutions, campaigns and ideological frameworks that defined the globalization of anti-apartheid, the ways in which the concept of solidarity was mediated by individuals, organizations and states, and considers the multiplicity of actors and interactions involved in generating and sustaining anti-apartheid around the world. It includes detailed accounts of key case studies from Europe, Asia, and Latin America, which illustrate the complex relationships between local and global agendas, as well as the diverse political cultures embodied in anti-apartheid. Taken together, these examples reveal the tensions and synergies, transnational webs and local contingencies that helped to create the sense of ‘being global’ that united worldwide anti-apartheid campaigns.

Complementary to the editors’ Africa’s New Peace and Security Architecture: Implementing norms, institutionalising solutions (Ashgate 2010), this volume revolves around three main areas of focus: the continental ’embeddedness’ of norms, values and processes required for the gradual coming into shape of the African peace and security regime; its transnational linkages as well as the wider collective security environment; and the empirical analysis of the connections between the continental level and the regional economic communities with case-studies on ECOWAS, SADC and COMESA.

Book excerpt: Creating the New African University grapples with the existence of African universities, particularly in post-independent Africa, where Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are supposed to live up to the expectations of being adaptive in dealing with prevalent complex, dynamic contemporary and future challenges facing African societies. The book tackles the issue of what ought to be done for African universities to maintain a structure and identity that ensures their relevance in Africa’s development through generating and transforming knowledge into actions for the common good. It engages issues within the context of how post-colonial transformative obligations have been managed in light of the prevalent epistemological and pedagogical underpinnings that form the foundations of these universities as they seek to break from the clutches of colonial legacies. This book further highlights an urgent need to do away with silos and embrace a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary dialogical approach towards knowledge generation. Such an approach is essential in efforts aimed at enhancing the sustainable reconfiguration of university structures and functions whilst linking knowledge produced to diverse social, economic and political facets of African societies in ways that promote and sustain competitiveness in a rapidly globalising world beset with technological advancements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As South Africa consolidates its democracy, chieftaincy has remained a controversial and influential institution that has adapted to recent changes. J. Michael Williams examines the chieftaincy and how it has sought to assert its power since the end of apartheid. By taking local-level politics seriously and looking closely at how chiefs negotiate the new political order, Williams takes a position between those who see the chieftaincy as an indigenous democratic form deserving recognition and protection, and those who view it as incompatible with democracy. Williams describes a network of formal and informal accommodations that have influenced the ways state and local authorities interact. By focusing on local perceptions of the chieftaincy and its interactions with the state, Williams reveals an ongoing struggle for democratization at the local and national levels in South Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume analyzes African state responses to the AIDS epidemic. Institutionally weak, limited in resources and lacking power in the international system, the African state has been characterized as inefficient, corrupt and illegitimate. The volume questions how aspects of the African state have affected policy responses to AIDS. It highlights how African states must initiate, develop and/or implement the long-term policy solutions necessary to combat AIDS. It employs empirical studies from the international and national arena to illustrate why some African states have been able (and willing) to address AIDS while others have not. Contributions analyze how international actors, civil society organizations, state ideology, patriarchy and state capacity have influenced policies to fight AIDS. Examining AIDS policies through the prism of African state development and linkages to domestic and international actors, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the variety of responses to AIDS in Africa.
