The Nature of Whiteness explores the intertwining of race and nature in postindependence Zimbabwe. Nature and environment have played prominent roles in white Zimbabwean identity, and when the political tide turned against white farmers after independence, nature was the most powerful resource they had at their disposal. In the 1970s, "Mlilo," a private conservancy sharing boundaries with Hwange National Park, became the first site in Zimbabwe to experiment with "wildlife production," and by the 1990s, wildlife tourism had become one of the most lucrative industries in the country. Mlilo attained international notoriety in 2015 as the place where Cecil the Lion was killed by a trophy hunter.
Yuka Suzuki provides a balanced study of whiteness, the conservation of nature, and contested belonging in twenty-first-century southern Africa. The Nature of Whiteness is a fascinating account of human-animal relations and the interplay among categories of race and nature in this embattled landscape.

Описание: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Health - Nutritional Science, grade: 2.1, course: History and Development Studies, language: English, abstract: Food insecurity has emerged as one of the major developmental challenges in the third world countries and has become more intensely pronounced in recent years with the threat posed by recent trends, such as climate change, water, and rainfall scarcity, as well as ecosystems and biodiversity degradation exacerbating these problems. Additional pressure has also emanated from the skyrocketing population growth and its simultaneous demand for food. Many of developing and developed countries have taken several measures to mitigate its impact. One of the main measures taken was to establish state controlled boards for instance in Zambia the National Agriculture Marketing Board (NAMBOARD), Agriculture Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMARC) in Malawi and National Cereals and Produce Board in Kenya and the Dominion Marketing Board in Canada were some of the state controlled boards responsible for marketing of grain so as to promote food security. In 2001 the government of Malawi banned the private sector from buying imported maize from National Food Reserve Agency leaving ADMARC the sole agency authorised to sell imported maize so as to promote national food security. In Zimbabwe, the Grain Marketing Board was established under the Maize Control Act of 1931 as the Maize Control Board in response to the 1930 World Recession to address food insecurity challenges and renamed the Grain Marketing Board in 1951 when other crops, like rice and wheat, were added to its mandate.The mission of GMB is to ensure food security in Zimbabwe through the marketing of grain related agricultural products with particular reference to staple food products, namely maize and wheat. The GMB is, as its name implies, an institution whose main function, is the orderly marketing of agricultural products, mainly grains, oil seeds, edi

Описание:
The international legal framework of human rights presents itself as universal. But rights do not exist as a mere framework; they are enacted, practiced, and debated in local contexts. Rights After Wrongs ethnographically explores the chasm between the ideals and the practice of human rights. Specifically, it shows where the sweeping colonial logics of Western law meets the lived experiences, accumulated histories, and humanitarian debts present in post-colonial Zimbabwe.
Through a comprehensive survey of human rights scholarship, Shannon Morreira explores the ways in which the global framework of human rights is locally interpreted, constituted, and contested in Harare, Zimbabwe, and Musina and Cape Town, South Africa. Presenting the stories of those who lived through the violent struggles of the past decades, Morreira shows how supposedly universal ideals become localized in the context of post-colonial Southern Africa. Rights After Wrongs uncovers the disconnect between the ways human rights appear on paper and the ways in which it is possible for people to use and understand them in everyday life.
This book examines the role played by two popular private newspapers in the struggle for democracy in Zimbabwe, one case from colonial Rhodesia and the other from the post-colonial era. It argues that, operating under oppressive political regimes and in the dearth of credible opposition political parties or as a platform for opposition political parties, the African Daily News, between 1956-1964, and the Daily News, between 1999-2003, played an essential role in opening up spaces for political freedom in the country. Both newspapers were ultimately shut down by the respective government of the time. The newspapers allowed reading publics the opportunity to participate in politics by providing a daily analytical alternative, to that offered by the government and the state media, in relation to the respective political crises that unfolded in each of these periods. The book further examines both the information policies pursued by the different governments and the way these affected the functioning of private media in their quest to provide an "ideal" public sphere. It explores issues of ownership, funding and editorial policies in reference to each case and how these affected the production of news and issue coverage. It considers issues of class and geography in shaping public response. It also focuses on state reactions to the activities of these newspapers and how these, in turn, affected the activities of private media actors. Finally, it considers the cases together to consider the meanings of the closing down of these newspapers during the two eras under discussion and contributes to the debates about print media vis- -vis the new forms of media that have come to the fore.
