| | | · In the Name of the People: Angola's Forgotten Massacre by Lara Pawson · Book Launch, Mon 18th May, 5.15pm-7pm, Room 4429
On 27th May 1977, a small demonstration against the MPLA, the ruling party of Angola - led to the slaughter of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people. These dreadful reprisals are little talked of in Angola today - and virtually unknown outside the country. In this book, journalist Lara Pawson tracks down the story of what really happened in the aftermath of that fateful day. In a series of vivid encounters, she talks to eyewitnesses, victims and even perpetrators of the violent and confusing events of the 27th May and the following weeks and months. From London to Lisbon to Luanda, she meets those who continue to live in the shadow of the appalling events of 40 years ago and who - in most cases - have been too afraid to speak about them before. As well as shedding light on the events of 1977, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of modern Angola - its people and its politics; past, present and future.

· 'Africa – Why Economists Get it Wrong' by Morten Jerven · Book Launch, Thursday 4th June, 6pm-8pm, Brunei Suite
·  Not so long ago, Africa was being described as the 'Hopeless Continent'. Recently, though, talk has turned to 'Africa Rising', with enthusiastic voices exclaiming the potential for economic growth across many of its countries. What, then, is the truth behind Africa's growth, or lack of it? In this provocative book, Morten Jerven fundamentally reframes the debate, challenging mainstream accounts of African economic history. Whilst for the past two decades experts have focused on explaining why there has been a 'chronic failure of growth' in Africa, Jerven shows that most African economies have been growing at a rapid pace since the mid-90s. In addition, African economies grew rapidly in the 50s, the 1960s, and even into the 1970s. Thus, African states were dismissed as incapable of development based largely on observations made during the 1980s and early 1990s. The result has been misguided analysis, and few practical lessons learned. An essential account of the real impact economic growth has had on Africa, and what it means for the continent's future. Respondent: Tunde Zack-Williams (University of Central Lancashire)

Elections in central and southern Africa, dynamics of exclusion and participation 26 June 2015 | Brunei Gallery, Room B102 | 9:00 am - 5:00 pm SOAS Centre of African Studies, in conjunction with the British Academy. This one day conference will examine elections in central and southern Africa. Elections in the region are marked by powerful and even paradoxical dynamics of participation and exclusion. Ostensible rituals of mass participation and of legitimation by civil power, electoral successes in the countries of the region have generally made recourse to forms of exclusionary violence during the campaign. And while representative democracies often use mass participation in electoral rituals to legitimate the subsequent exclusion of the demos from the political process, in central and southern Africa this is brought out in an especially acute fashion. For example, many of those who play an active role in electoral campaigns – most especially young men and women from the lowest socio-economic groups – are invariably those who are most excluded by governments brought to power by such campaigns. Looking at papers of a generally ethnographic nature the conference will seek look at elections as part of a complex, oft misunderstood political phenomena in their own right rather than as staging posts en route to a normative conception of democracy. Convened by Dr Joe Trapido, Anthropology & Sociology Department, SOAS.

Wednesday, 20 May 2015
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Venue: Room 116, SOAS, Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG
Going beyond the conventional lenses of famine, 'water wars' or the oil resource curse, Harry Verhoeven links environmental factors, development, and political power. Based on years of unique access to the Islamists, generals, and business elites at the core of the Al-Ingaz Revolution, Verhoeven tells the story of one of Africa's most ambitious state-building projects in the modern era – and how its gamble to instrumentalise water and agriculture to consolidate power is linked to twenty-first-century globalisation, Islamist ideology, and intensifying geopolitics of the Nile. - Click here for more information
