title: Modernism and after: Modern Arabic literary theory from literary criticism to cultural critique.
Creators: name: Al-Shamaa, Khaldoun
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2007

description: This thesis aims to provide the interested reader with a critical account of far-reaching changes in modem Arabic literary theory, approximately since the 1970s, in the light of an ascending paradigm in motion, and of the tendency by subsequent critics and commentators to view literary criticism in terms of a self-elaborating category morphing into cultural critique. The first part focuses on interdisciplinary problems confronting Arab critics in their attempt "to modernize but not to westernize", and also provides a comparative treatment of the terms, concepts and definitions used in the context of an ever-growing Arabic literary canon, along with consideration of how these relate to European modernist thought and of the controversies surrounding them among Arab critics. The second part explores some distinguishable morphological markers whose deployment involves a more or less radical distinction between, on the one hand, renovationist assumptions of cultural change as an uninterrupted process of historical continuity, and, on the other, innovationist assumptions based on discontinuity. The first of these modernizing models, involving revivalist ideas from the age of al-Nahdah, laid the foundation for a double dependency, on the past, serving to compensate, through remembering and reviving, for lack of creativity; and on the European-American West, serving to compensate, through intellectual and technical adaptation and borrowing, for the failure to invent and innovate. However, it is the second, counter-revivalist model that has assumed pride of place through the work of various poets, theorists and critics considered here. By the end of the eighties a self-generating, self-referential modernist theory had become the dominant critique. The third part proffers the case for a new paradigm. Drawing on the arguments and views of numerous scholars, the emphasis here is that "difference" establishes a distinctive mode of autonomy vis-a-vis Western Eurocentric theory.

description: BUILDING OF THE PUPAL CHAMBER AND COCOON IN SOME PSELAPHIDS (COLEOPTERA)

When they are ready to pupate, Pselaphid larvae are used to predispose a protective shelter, which is made with either mould particles or silk, or with both of these materials. Moreover, within larvae that use silk, different organs - mouth parts, fore legs, abdominal comb of setae - can be engaged in the weaving.

Sulla base di osservazioni di laboratorio, vengono descritti diversi comportamenti, da parte di larve di Pselafidi di vari generi e specie, in merito all'allestimento del rifugio per la pupa.

In maniera più o meno elaborata, vengono utilizzati o materiale del substrato, o seta, o en- trambi. Inoltre, nell'ambito delle specie che utilizzano la seta, questa può venire filata, secondo la specie, o con le appendici boccali, o con le zampe anteriori, o con un apposito pettine addomi- nale di setole.

title: The African-diasporic metaphysical female figure in the works of African-diasporic and Creole women writers.
Creators: name: Bristol, Brenda Melanie
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2006

description: Arguments negating the role of the African-diasporic female metaphysical figure in the oral literature of the English-speaking Caribbean and America, hinge on the belief that these supernatural figures represent evil and that such representations disempower women. This thesis offers an alternative comparative analysis of two female metaphysical figures from the Caribbean, as well as two related supernatural figures from America. It explores the central role that the figures played in the formation of New World female subjectivity in slave societies and in the writing of contemporary African-diasporic and white Creole women writers. It focuses specifically on works by Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, Jean Rhys, Paule Marshall and Jamaica Kincaid. This thesis is based on two premises; that the metaphysical figures are deitic in origin, therefore non-felicitous, non-essentialist and centrally ambivalent; and that the modernist, postmodernist and magic realist women writers under study, use the figures' non-totalising narratives to write back to the colonial Manichean allegory and to excavate closed periods of New World female history. After an investigation into the West African deitic progenitors of the female oral literary figures, this thesis investigates the representations of such figures in the early works of African-diasporic women writers. It then traces the sociopolitical reasons behind the figures' revision in the two regions under study. It explores the re-interpretations female writers from America and the Caribbean, award the figures, due to the formers' different historical, racial, and socio-political standpoints. Finally, this thesis proposes a framework for the analysis of African-diasporic and Creole women writers' work, based on the operations and interventions of the oral literary African-diasporic female metaphysical figure.

description: THE MORPHOLOGY OF LARVAL INSTARS IN HABRONYX HEROS WESMAEL (ICHNEUMONIDAE- ANOMALONINAE) WITH NOTES ON THE BIOLOGY OF THE SPECIES

The author describes the larval features of Habronyx heros Wesmael (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Anomaloninae). The five larval instars were on, the first of which was caudate and the others worm-like. The morphologicals details of the head were studied: the first instar had strongly schlerotized mandibles and well shaped maxilae and an inferior labrum with sensilla; the second instar was ligthly schlerotized, while the third, fourth and fifth instars showed a progressive thickening of the peristoma, the dorsal half of the head and the inferior labrum. The key for last instar larvae (from Gauld, 1976) was modified according to the hypostomal spur variability ecountered.

The life cycle and the competition among larvae into the host was observed and outlined.

Vengono descritti, con particolare attenzione alle sclerificazioni del capo, i cinque stadi larvali di Habronym heros Wesmael (Ichneumonidae-Anomaloninae). La larva di prima età risulta essere caudata.

Si riferisce la variabilità, nella larva matura, delle mandibole dello sperone ipostomale; tale fenomeno sembra dovuto a fattori trofici.

Vengono fornite alcune notizie sul ciclo biologico e sulla competizione che avviene all'interno della crisalide dell'ospite, la Pachypasa otus Drury (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae).

title: Kwame Nkrumah: An intellectual biography.
Creators: name: Biney, Ama Barbara
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2007

description: Kwame Nkrumah remains a towering figure in African history. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent campaign of civil disobedience to achieve political ends, he led present-day Ghana to independence in 1957. Nkrumah made Ghana a beacon of hope for not only Ghanaians but also people of African descent throughout the world. Perhaps no other African leader of the 1950s and 1960s personified the dreams, principles and aspirations of this era. At the centre of my analysis of Nkrumah's political, social and economic thought will be his own writings. I begin my re-examination of Nkrumah's life and thought by focusing on the political discourse and controversies surrounding him. The focus of Chapter 1 is his sojourn in America, where he pursued his academic studies. Chapter 2 examines his period of political activism in London between 1945 to 1947 under the ideological guidance of George Padmore. This prepared him for the leadership of the new political party he founded, the Convention People's Party, following his return to the Gold Coast in 1947. In Chapter 3,1 focus on Nkrumah's political performance, his relationship with the British colonial authorities in the period 1951 to 1957. Chapter 4 scrutinises his position on the federalist argument presented by his political enemy, the National Liberation Movement. Chapter 5 looks at politics in the post-independence period whilst Nkrumah's economic and cultural policies are the focus of Chapter 6. While in office, Nkrumah documented his thought in several publications, which will be examined in Chapter 7. His foreign policy aimed at furthering African unity will be critically assessed via the various institutional mechanisms he set up to achieve this objective in Chapter 8. After the coup, which deposed him in February 1966, Nkrumah continued to develop his political and economic convictions and this is the focus of Chapter 9. The final chapter considers Nkrumah's legacy in Ghana and on the wider Pan-African stage in contemporary Africa.

title: Social and economic change in colonial north-central Nigeria: The history of Akwanga Division, 1911-1960.
Creators: name: Ayuba, Jonathan Mamu
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2007

description: This thesis is concerned with the social and economic history of the communities of the Akwanga division of Plateau province in central Nigeria from the beginning of formal British administration in 1911 to the end of colonial rule in 1960. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first looks at the early history of the peoples of Akwanga with emphasis on their political, religious and economic organisation. It also discusses the effect of the nineteenth-century Sokoto jihad on settlement patterns in the region. Chapter 2 deals with resistance to the colonial conquest, which lasted up to 1925. Chapter 3 discusses the development of the indirect rule system and native administration, focusing on the creation of chiefs, divisional boundaries and the native administrative policies pursued by successive Governors of Nigeria. Chapter 4 looks at taxation and cash crop production and their impact on the peoples of Akwanga. Chapter 5 examines the use of local labour for building the infrastructure of colonial rule and for tin mining, which dominated the economy of Plateau province. Chapter 6 discusses the religious encounter between Islam, Christianity and indigenous belief and how these two world religions shaped the political identity of the people of the region. Chapter 7 focuses on the demise of indirect rule and the emergence party politics in Akwanga with emphasis on minority politics and the role of the educated groups in the politics and process of decolonisation.
Antennal chemosensilla and glands, and their possible meaning in the reproductive behaviour of Trissolcus basalis (Woll.) (Hym. : Scelionidae)

description: The antennae of Trissolcus basalis, a solitary endoparasitoid of Nezara viridula (Heteroptera: Pen- tatomidae) eggs, have been investigated by SEM and TEM to map and describe the different types of chemosensilla and glands, some of which are reported for the first time in Parasitic Hymenoptera. A non chemoreceptor, sensillum campaniforme, has also been included since it is associateci with glands. A functional interpretation has been attempted correlating the antennal structures with mating and host recognition behaviours previously reported.

SENSILLI CHEMIORECETTORI E GHIANDOLE ANTENNALI E LORO POSSIBILE SIGNIFICATO

NEL COMPORTAMENTO RIPRODUTTIVO DI TRISSOLCUS BASALIS (WOLL.) (HYMENOPTERA, SCELIONIDAE)

Il Trissolcus basalis è un parassitoide solitario delle uova di Nezara viridula L. Dalle ovature parassitizzate sfarfallano per primi i Trissolcus maschi, i quali, essendo capaci di individuare la presenza delle proprie femmine (per via di un feromone sessuale volatile) all'interno delle uova dell'ospite, si fermano singolarmente davanti all'uovo parassitizzato, in attesa che sfarfalli l'individuata compagna. Alla fuoriuscita di questa seguono speditamente un rapido corteggiamento da parte del maschio, il riconoscimento e la reciproca accettazione del partner e quindi la copula: il tutto in poche decine di secondi. La femmina fecondata va subito in cerca di un'ovatura idonea di Nezara per ovideporre lasciando infine un feromone di marcatura sulle singole uova da essa parassitizzate. Detto comportamento riproduttivo risulta chiaramente e necessariamente mediato dalle antenne di ambo i sessi nella prima parte, e della femmina, ovviamente, nella seconda parte. Attraverso uno studio in stretta collaborazione tra etologi (Bin, Colazza, Vinson) e morfologi (Isidoro, Solinas) vengono identificati sensilli chemiorecettori e ghiandole antennali implicati nei meccanismi comportamentali sopra menzionati. In particolare, sono stati individuati, descritti e più o meno ampiamente interpretati: a) un solo tipo di sensilli olfattivi («sickle-shaped sensilla>>), presente in ambo i sessi, ma assai più rappresentato e potente nei maschi (recettori del feromone sessuale?) e più versatile nelle femmine (recettore di kairomone e sinomoni?); b) quattro tipi di sensilli gustativi, due dei quali sono presenti in ambo i sessi (<>, chiaramente implicati nel reciproco riconoscimento tra i sessi; e <>, di difficile interpretazione), mentre un terzo tipo, del tutto particolare, è presente solo nelle femmine, (<> della femmina e dunque strettamente legato al funzionamento dei medesimi e l'altro, tipico del maschio, era già noto e qui se ne conferma la funzione di ghiandola a feromone sessuale maschile.

title: The cuisine of Morocco Origins and ritual significance.
Creators: name: Shenan Aylwin, Zohor
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1999

description: This thesis focuses on the reception, evolution and onward transmission of the Moroccan culinary legacy. The examination of the subject is divided into two parts, the first of which relates to the cuisine as it is today, whilst the second part traces in depth its historical origins. The subject matter of the first part has been compiled from personal experience and fieldwork, supported by the accounts of XIXth century European travellers, including the ethnographic observations of colonial officials, however misguided and perverted these may have been. In addition to providing a description of the ingredients, utensils and preparatory techniques employed in this cuisine, an insight is given into its association with certain aspects of Moroccan life. In particular the relationship between food and religious and traditional festivals is examined, as is its pertinence to private ceremonies associated with all aspects of an individual's life from birth to death. In the second part, the examination of historical references illustrates the salient importance of food ceremonies in the story of the inhabitants of Morocco. Here the research has been directed towards tracing the history of dishes and identifying transformations undergone under different cultural influences. In the latter connection the influence of Islamic expansion is examined with reference to the introduction of new agricultural crops and products, (sugar, spices etc.), and also with reference to the thoughts of the physicians of the "Moorish Empire", as depicted in the early Islamic cookery books. The historical study of the annual program of food rituals shows how this was adjusted to the new religious setting in relation to the solar/lunar calendar altercation. This study is followed by a specific investigation into the significance of the names of certain dishes and the importance of their preparation, concluding that the "Amazigh" alias Berber tradition was preserved in a concealed form throughout history. This new dimension has been exploited in a retrocessive study of mythology through Roman, Phoenician, Greek and eventually Ancient Egyptian classical sources to conclude that culinary practices have acted as a repository for ancient Moroccan tradition.
title: The transformation of domesticity as an ideology: Calcutta, 1880-1947.
Creators: name: Banerjee, Sudeshna
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1997

description: This study of the ideology of domesticity among the Bengali Hindu middle-class of Calcutta between 1880 and 1947 problematises the relation between anti-colonial nationalism and domesticity by contextualising it in a social history perspective. The thesis argues that the nationalist domestic ideology of the class was not a mere counter-discursive derivative of colonial power/knowledge. Its development was a dialectical process; in it the agency of the live experience of domesticity, as the primary level of this group's reproduction of its class identity, material anxieties, status, and gender ideology, interacted with nationalist counter- discursive abstractions. This dialectic, the thesis argues, made the domestic ideology of the colonial middle class a transforming entity. Indeed, because of this dynamism, early nationalist essentialisations regarding domesticity disintegrated during the late colonial period (1920-1947). Anti-colonial nationalism, crystallised by the late 19th century, spiritualised domesticity as a part of an essential 'inner-domain' that was upheld in order to culturally exteriorise the 'materialist' colonial sphere. But this interiorisation and spiritualisation was not a one-way process in which lived domesticity was passively inscribed from above by a preconceived nation. While nationalist abstractions sought to 'recast' the home, the lived domesticity of the class, in its turn, inscribed its agency on nationalism by acting as the fundamental lived unit which was paradigmatically extended to imagine and order the middle- class-led nation. Given this dialectic, there was the possibility of the nationalist idealisation of the home changing if the lived situation of the class became substantially transformed. Contesting the ahistoricity of recent studies on nationalist domesticity, this thesis argues that such a transformation actually did come about in the period after the First World War. Under its impact, the dominant perception of domesticity changed, creating a discursive transformation that sidelined the ideology formulated in the late 19th-century. The spiritualist rhetoric disintegrated. So did the binary division that had projected the colonial sphere as the only 'outside' as against a harmonious 'inside' in which domesticity, community and the nation existed in an idealised continuum. Thus, a domestic ideology, that anti-colonial consciousness had deeply integrated with the class's self-justification and claim to 'natural leadership', disintegrated largely under pressure. Consequently, it left behind the deep imprint of some of its expectations in the middle-class consciousness. The disintegration thus generated a sense of disorientation rather than a liberating feeling for the middle-class majority on the eve of political independence.
Insolito sviluppo di una seconda generazione antofaga in Prays oleae (Bern.) (Lepid. Yponomeutidae)

description: UNUSUAL DEVELOPMENT OF AN ANTHOPHAGOUS SECOND GENERATION IN PRAYS OLEAE (BERN.) (LEPID. -YPONOMEUTIDAE)

In an olive orchard (cv. Coratina) in Taranto district (Southern-Italy) in ]une 1989 the presence, at the same time, of olive plants (95-96%) with fruits well developed, and plants (4- 5%) with bud flowers only having a delay in blooming estimate in 20-25 days have been found.

P. oleae normally develops three generations per year: one on leaves (phyllophagous), one on flowers (anthophagous) and one on fruits (carpophagous).

In the orchard on the plants having delay in bloom, P. oleae have developed a second anthophagous generation of which no adults have been trapped (by trap-test) in field. This was due to the complete parasitization and predation occurred on pre- imaginal stages (eggs, larvae and pupae of P. oleae) verified in laboratory on fresh material.

Nel1989, in giugno, in un oliveto monovarietale di 18 ha, alla fioritura normale del 95-96% delle piante è seguita a distanza di 20-25 giorni, per motivi che non è stato possibile accertare, la fioritura del restante 4-5 % delle piante. In questa insolita situazione sulle piante fiorite tardivamente il Prays oleae (Bern.) ha sviluppato una seconda generazione antofaga che è stata completamente annientata dall'azione massiccia di predatori e parassitoidi, tanto che non si è avuto sfarfallamento di adulti.

Observation by SEM of the integument of both sexes of this species was carried out to search for presence of secondary sex dimorphism.

Interesting organs were found in both sexes: i) setae with digitate apex; ii) glandular area of the fore femora; iii) pluricellular gland of the eighth abdominal sternum.

Males exhibit additional organs - the well-known antennal glands - and structures which do not concern the sensory system. No particular type of sensilla was found in the females.

Esplorando, al microscopio elettronico a scansione, l'esoscheletro dello Pselafide Batrisodes oculatus, sono stati censiti vari organi e strutture comuni e non comuni ai due sessi.

Fra quelli comuni, sono di particolare interesse morfo- funzionale: a) le setole del tipo con digitazioni apicali, b) l'area ghiandolare dei femori anteriori, c) la ghiandola pluricellulare dell'ottavo urosterno.

Il dimorfismo sessuale secondario risiede nella presenza nel solo maschio delle ghiandole antennali e di varie strutture aggiuntive, che non riguardano il sistema sensoriale.

Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2016

description: The fine morphology of the Sorghum midge Allocontarinia sorghicola (Coq.) eggshell has been investigated, in ovary and laid eggs, with scanning and transmission electron microscopes. The eggshell consists of three layers: exochorion, endochorion and vitelline membrane. The micropylar apparatus, situated at the egg anterior pole, has been studied in detail. It is formed by an exochorion invagination delimiting a sort of atrium with one external and several internal apertures. At the egg posterior pole stands out a long appendage becoming wrinkled few hours after oviposition and probably having mechanical function facilitating the egg entering and passing through the female reproductive ducts.

Key words (in addition to those in the title): chorion, micropyle, vitelline membrane, ultrastructure.

MORFOLOGIA FINE DEGLI INVOLUCRI (CORION E MEMBRANA VITELLINA) DELL'UOVO DI ALLOCONTARINIA SORGHICOLA (COQ.) (DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE)

Sono riportati i risultati di una indagine condotta al microscopio elettronico a scansione ed a trasmissione relativi alla struttura del corion e della membrana vitellina di uova ovariche e deposte di Allocontarinia sorghicola. La regione micropilare, situata al polo anteriore dell'uovo, è stata particolarmente studiata. Il micropilo è costituito da una invaginazione del solo esocorion delimitante una sorta di atrio con imboccatura (apertura micropilare esterna) più stretta del fondo nel quale tutt'attorno si aprono diversi fori laceri (aperture micropilari interne). Nelle uova deposte, le superfici dell'esocorion delimitanti l'atrio finiscono per aderire l'una all'altra, occludendo tutte le aperture micropilari. Il lungo peduncolo situato al polo posteriore ha molto probabilmente la funzione di facilitare il passaggio dell'uovo lungo i gonodotti femminili.

description: Self-compacting concrete using the iron dust waste ability to produce FeCO3 by CO2- absorbing/trapping and favouring the increase of concrete strength was designed and tested. Except for iron dust, other materials rich in silica and alumina (clay brick waste and metakaolin) or CaO-rich (calcium carbonate) and a catalyst (oxalic acid) were added to the mixture, forming a carbon-negative binding material. The paper originality was obtained by adopting new methods of intensive hardening the fresh concrete by its immersing or exposure to CO2-enriched mediums, followed by free storage in air for 7 or 28 days for CO2-absorbing (recommended by the inventor). The results showed that replacing the cement with 12.3% carbon-negative material, using usual ratios of sand, coarse aggregate, lignosulfonate, and water and also applying the concrete hardening variant through the two methods of immersing/exposure in CO2-enriched mediums, concrete specimens with highest strength were made.

It is assumed that Nosema tortricis Weiser infecting 40.0% of larvae, and Octosporea viridana Weiser infecting 22.3% of larvae, are responsible for the collapse of the green tortrix population. The fungus Entomophthora sp. is for the first time reported as causing an epizootic in the population of T. viridana.

Larve moribonde e morte di Tortrix viridana raccolte nel bosco comunale di Putignano (Puglia) denotarono all'esame microscopico la presenza nei loro tessuti di due protozoi microsporidi, un fungo (Entomophthora sp.) e un virus. Dei microsporidi il Nosema tortricis Weiser era presente nel 40% delle larve, mentre I'Octosporea viridana Weiser nel22,3%. L'Entomophthora sp., riscontrata nel 15,5% delle larve, deve ritenersi come la prima segnalazione in letteratura quale agente di controllo naturale nelle popolazioni larvali della T. viridana.

La presenza di tali microrganismi e di un virus della poliedrosi nucleare rappresentano i fattori di maggior importanza nella riduzione della infestazione del Tortricide nel biotopo oggetto di studio.

Endosimbiosi batterica in Paederus rubrothoracicus Goeze (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)

description: BACTERIAL ENDOSYMBIOSIS IN PAEDERUS RUBROTHORACICUS GOEZE (COLEOPTERA, STAPHYLINIDAE)

A dense bacterial flora, mainly composed by Gram-negative, asporogenous bacillary cells, was found in a pair of duct-like organs of the female reproductive system of this species. Constance of such a presence was verified in females collected from two Iocalities in Basilicata (Southern Italy) and in different months, from February up to September, covering two generations in one year.

This is the first recorded instance of endosymbiosis in Staphylinoidea and it is suggestive of the location of bacterial symbionts in females of the Chrysomelidae Cassida viridis and Bromius obscurus. Possibly, requirement of transmitting particular forms of bacteria to the larvae is the significance of such a location of the bacterial flora.

Viene segnalato, con dati anatomici e istologici, un probabile caso di endosimbiosi batterica extracellulare nello Stafiiinide Paederus rubrothoracicus, il quale possiede una coppia di organi duttiformi dell'apparato genitale femminile contenenti una densa flora batterica, preponderantemente composta da bacilli Gram-negativi asporigeni.

Osservazioni su femmine di due generazioni successive, raccolte in due diverse località, indicano sia la persistenza del fenomeno nell'ambito della specie, sia la sua stretta localizzazione negli organi individuati. Dal punto di vista anatomico, il tipo di localizzazione della flora batterica è paragonabile a quello osservato da precedenti autori nelle femmine di alcuni Crisomelidi e si può ritenere in rapporto con l'esigenza di trasmettere i batteri alla progenie.

description: FINE STRUCTURE OF THE ANTENNAL CHEMOSENSILLA IN CARPOPHILUS HEMIPTERUS (L.) AND C. HUMERALIS  (F.) (COLEOPTERA, NITIDULIDAE)
As other species of Nitidulidae, adults of both sexes of Carpophilus humeralis (F.) and C. hemipterus (L.) exhibit two particular receptors in each antenna, respectively in the 10th and 11th segments.

Study by light-microscope, TEM and SEM gives data as follows:
 i) Presence and shape of both receptors do not exhibit sex dimorphism.
 ii) The receptor of the 11th segment is flask-like and opens through a very small pare (nearly

10 flm in diameter) on that segment face which is oriented downwards when the insect walks; it bears a number of transversal crests along its internal walls.

iii) The receptor of the 10th segment is a largely opened pit of the intersegmental face; it is deeper, partly vesicle-like, in C. humeralis.

iv) Both receptors include a few basiconic sensilla of the type MPG-conoid , sensu Zacharuk (1980) .

v) No inlet of glandular cells was found in them.

Observations show a trend to both confining of the elementary sensilla and redundance of receptors, which are difficult to relate to any function, due to the lack of behavioral knowledge.

Si esegue uno studio strutturale ed ultrastrutturale di particolari recettori antennali presenti in due specie del genere Carpophilus.

Al di là delle differenze strutturali, si individua uniformità riguardo al tipo di sensilli elementari in essi contenuti, i quali sono di tipo basiconico conoide multiporoso, con pareti irregolarmente solcate nel senso della lunghezza.

title: Wahuni, the undesirables: African urbanisation, crime and colonial order in Dar es Salaam, 1919-1961.
Creators: name: Burton, Andrew
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2000

description: The thesis examines African urbanisation in Dar es Salaam in the British colonial period and the official response to this phenomenon. It is divided into three parts. In Part One colonial urban policy is discussed. British officials initially showed a marked antipathy towards African urbanisation. The true home of the African was considered to be in the rural areas where his tribal society not only catered for his social and economic needs but also provided a medium through which he could conveniently be administered. Beginning in the 1940s there was a revision of colonial policy. The inevitable growth of permanent African urban communities was acknowledged. An attempt was made to nurture a 'respectable' class of urban African. At the same time, however, antipathy towards urbanisation persisted. Officials continued to display concern about the deleterious effects of the urban environment on the 'upcountry native', and in particular the growing problem of unemployment. Part Two is concerned with crime in Dar es Salaam. The most immediate aspect which informed official antipathy to African urbanisation was its role in the spread of criminality. Anxiety over the presence of growing numbers of Africans in the capital, many of whom had no regular formal employment, was closely associated with the problem of urban lawlessness, which grew ever more serious as the years passed. This lawlessness was in part a product of strict colonial legislation which criminalised both customary and informal economic activities. In the final part of the thesis, attempts to control urban growth are examined. Throughout the colonial period Tanganyikan officials argued for the introduction of a pass system to stem the rural-urban flow. Political considerations ruled it out, however. Faced with a burgeoning urban population and limited resources with which to administer it, colonial officials increasingly resorted to the expulsion of Africans from the town back to their rural 'homes'.

title: The economic and social significance of the handicraft industry in Botswana.
Creators: name: Terry, Mary Elizabeth
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1999

description: This thesis aims to determine the economic, financial, social, and cultural significance of the handicraft industry of Botswana to selected individuals and their households and to the nation as a whole. Because the importance of the handicraft sector to development in Africa is generally unappreciated, the main aim of the study is to establish whether handicraft production in Botswana is as important as other non-farm, small-scale industries. Using disproportionate stratification and clustering, a nationwide quantitative survey of individual craft producers, production enterprises and marketing outlets was conducted. Data on non-craft industries were obtained from secondary sources. To compare different craft categories and to determine the value of the craft and non-craft sectors, cost-benefit models were developed for ten craft categories (basketry, beadwork, skinwork, leatherwork, carving, weaving, textiles, pottery, jewellery and miscellaneous crafts) and for ten non-craft small-scale industries (beer-brewing, grass/reed collection, hut building, veld products collection, hunting, sewing, bakery, blockmaking, metalwork and milling). This study shows that the handicraft industry has an overall positive impact on individuals working in the sector, their families and communities, particularly rural dwellers, those with little or no formal education and other marginalised people. Benefits for individual producers and enterprises in rural areas are greater than in urban areas. Producers having access to consistent purchasing by formal craft organisations or by tourists benefit the most. Social and cultural benefits derived from craft activities are greater than from non-craft activities, while producers' incomes are comparable. Nationally, both sectors provide financial and economic net benefits, but the non-craft sector provides more overall income due to its larger size. The craft sector shows higher economic efficiency than the non-craft sector, although the latter has higher average profitability. This research in Botswana substantiates research in other developing countries about the significance of off-farm incomes and income diversification on rural and urban dwellers' livelihoods. These findings justify government and non-government support to increase the handicraft sector's positive impact on poverty reduction, employment creation, social welfare, culture, and the economies of Botswana and other African countries.
