Extractive Sector

The issue of mismanagement of natural resources and its attendant effects of environmental degradation across  the globe has engaged the attention of environmentalists, activists including organisations that  can  be  described  as  environmental  resistant  movements. Ghana is facing serious environmental problems and one factor for this  is  its  increased  dependence  on  the  extractive  sector  of  the economy. Many have shown concern about this problem and have taken bold initiative to do something to address the problem. This has  concretely  manifested  itself  in  the  formation  of  a  number  of movements  mainly  in  the  form  of  NGOs  which  are  locally--based over  the  years.  Wassa  Association  of  Communities  Affected  by Mining  (WACAM),  which  has  been  selected  as  a  case  study  is informed  by  the  successes  it  has  chalked  in  the  areas  of activism,advocacy  and  influencing  policy  especially  on  mining  in the  Wassa  Area  in  particular,  and  Ghana  in  general  and  possibly beyond.

History Of

This chapter explores movement and circulation across the Mediterranean and seeks to contribute to a history of proto-nationalism in the Maghrib and the Middle East at a particular moment prior to World War I. The discussion is particularly concerned with the interface of two Mediterranean spaces: the Middle East (Egypt, Ottoman Empire) and North Africa (Morocco), where the latter is viewed as a case study where resistance movements sought external allies as a way of compensating for their internal weakness. Applying methods developed by Subaltern Studies, and linking macro-historical approaches, namely of a translocal movement in the Muslim Mediterranean, it explores how the Egypt-based society, al-Ittihad al-Maghribi, through its agent, Aref Taher, used the press as an instrument for political propaganda, promoting its Pan-Islamic programme and its goal of uniting North Africa.

Formal Features

Decolonization is presented in dominant accounts as an orderly transition and not the culmination of anticolonial resistance movements. This in turn contributes to what Paul Gilroy terms an endemic “post-imperial melancholia” across contemporary European nations and the removal of empire and its demise from understandings of European history. Drawing on Bill Schwarz’s reconceptualization of a Fanonian commitment to disorder, this article focuses on Britain’s history of colonialism and post-imperial immigration and argues for the mapping of a disorderly aesthetics in works by V. S. Naipaul, Bernardine Evaristo, and Eavan Boland. The three formal features of non-linearity, polyvocality, and environmental imagery enable these writers to bear witness to the complex histories of empire, transatlantic slavery, decolonization, and immigration from the colonial “margins”. These “aesthetics of disorder” counter a dominant narrative of decolonial order and challenge conceptions of British exceptionalism that were reinforced at the moment of imperial decline.
