PREFACE
WELCOME TO THE FOURTH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON AFRICAN STUDIES (ECAS 4)
If you are perusing this conference programme, the chances are that you have successfully registered for ECAS 4. On behalf of the AEGIS Board, I wish you an intellectually fulfilling and socially rewarding week of activities in the historic city of Uppsala. For those who have only recently discovered AEGIS, we hope that this will be the start of an enduring relationship.
Although AEGIS is constituted as a network of Centres of African Studies in Europe, its core activities are intended to be as inclusive as possible. We especially welcome participants from countries across Africa, as well as from India, Brazil, China and North America.
We also appreciate the attendance of European par- ticipants from institutions not affiliated to AEGIS.
In surprisingly little time, the ECAS conferences have cemented themselves as the focal point of African Studies in Europe. By popular consent, ECAS 3 in Leipzig (2009) was a resounding success. Although ECAS 4 promises to be our largest event yet, the or- ganizers have taken even greater care to ensure that the quality of the conference experience is not com- promised. For this, we are extremely grateful to Fantu Cheru, Carin Norberg, Tania Berger with the Uppsala team and those who contributed to the planning from across the Nordic countries.
This conference comes at a watershed in the devel- opment of AEGIS. We are now close to reaching the upper limits of European coverage, with membership currently standing at 28 member Centres and two observers awaiting full accession. Two agendas will
become increasingly important in the coming years as we take AEGIS to the next level. The first is that of deepening the levels of co-operation between member Centres in shaping common research agendas. The second is building on our individual partnerships with institutions in Africa and beyond in a manner that be- comes fundamental to the way AEGIS itself operates.
We currently have one Affiliated member, the Indian African Studies Association, and we expect others to take advantage of this facility in the near future. We are also seeking to negotiate reciprocal relationships between AEGIS and equivalent associations in Africa, North America and elsewhere.
All of this activity makes the theme of ECAS 4 – “African Engagements: On Whose Terms?” – especial- ly apposite. The conference poses a pointed question that relates directly to the future trajectory of AEGIS itself. It would be pointless to deny that there are sensi- tive issues concerning the balance of influence within African Studies, many of which will be addressed by this conference. AEGIS is a network, and not an or- ganization, and as such its raison d’être is to provoke debate rather than to defend vested interests. I very much hope that the debates at ECAS 4 will gener- ate both heat and light, and will come to be seen in future years as a defining moment in the history of our network.
Paul Nugent, President of AEGIS
Dear delegates,
On behalf of the Nordic Africa Institute we would like to welcome you to the 4
thEuropean Conference on
African Studies. As representatives of the Institute, weare excited to see so many prominent scholars from all over the world joining us here in Uppsala for lively discussions and just in time for the brief but intense Swedish summer.
The theme of the conference is ”African Engage-
ments: On Whose terms?”. Over the past two de-cades, Africa has experienced dramatic changes.
Between 1990 and 2011 (and notwithstanding more recent setbacks), peaceful and democratic changes of government have taken place in more than 42 African countries through competitive multiparty elections. On the economic front, Africa has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing regions in the wake of a boom in the international commodities market, and despite the recent global financial crisis. Africa is also chang- ing demographically, given its fast growing youthful population and high rates of urbanization. Across the continent, an ICT revolution has led to the rapid expansion of mobile phones for communication and business, while the internet has opened up new spac- es and opportunities. The ICT revolution has empow- ered civil society organizations across the continent to mobilize around a whole host of issues, as recent dramatic developments in North Africa bear powerful witness.
Despite the political and economic changes on the
continent and in the world, the study of Africa re- mains contested terrain. The critical questions relateto how Africans can define their own priorities and partnerships, and with which voice(s)? Who are and can be Africa’s real partners in the quest for mutually beneficial (re)-engagements and on whose terms? The research community faces the challenge of evolving and expanding opportunities and spaces that allow for a common multi-disciplinary exercise in knowledge- production and understanding without necessarily talk- ing in one voice, thereby enriching the understanding of a dynamic and diverse Africa.
***
This conference has received funding support from first and foremost the Swedish government through the
Nordic Africa Institute. But without the support of other Nordic governments, Research Councils and other institutions, such as the Swedish International Develop- ment Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Research Council of Norway, Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, the Africa Capacity Build- ing Foundation, the Swedish Research Council, the City of Uppsala and Uppsala University, we would not have been able to accommodate all of the large num- ber of participants coming from all over the world.
We are particularly happy about the funding we have received to facilitate participation by approximately 80 African scholars in ECAS 4.
As to the organization of ECAS 4, the institute set up two main working groups, one for administration and one for academic content. The administrative group has been led by Tania Berger, and the aca- demic group by Research Director Fantu Cheru. In the latter case, Professor Cheru has been assisted by an academic committee with members from all five Nordic countries. The challenge facing this group can better be understood when we recall that it received 1,700 papers to begin with. The number of panel sessions in the final programme is equally impressive, around 240, indicating that selecting the best papers from among all those received has been a difficult task. We take this opportunity to thank all of the participants in the planning for the excellent job they have done.
***
As with earlier such conferences (London 2005, Le- iden 2007 and Leipzig 2009), one of the main events will be the Lugard Lecture, organized by the Interna- tional Africa Institute. The 2011 lecture will be deliv- ered by Professor Peter Ekeh, State University of New
York at Buffalo, on “Basil Davidson and the Cultureof the African State”. ECAS 4 keynote speakers are
Professor Issa Shivji, Department of Law, University of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, who will speak on “TheStruggle to Convert Nationalism to Pan-Africanism:
Taking Stock of 50 years of African Independence”,
and Professor Oyeronke Oyewumi, Department of
Sociology, Stony Brook University, USA, who will
speak on “The Coloniality of Power and the Produc-
tion of Knowledge on Africa”. Other speakers during
the opening session will be Professor Kerstin Sahlin of
WORD FROM THE ORgANISERS
Uppsala University, Director Lena Ingelstam of Sida and AEGIS President Professor Paul Nugent.
There will be several sponsored Round Tables.
The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) and the African Ca- pacity Building Foundation (ACBF) will organise two sessions on the topics of “Africa’s Growth Prospects and the Control of its Natural Resources”, and “Val- ues, and the Challenges Facing Africa”. The Orga- nization for Social Sciences in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSSREA) will organize one on “PhD. Training Programs in sub-Saharan African Higher Education Institutions”; AEGIS is organizing another Round Table on “Decolonizing African Studies: An Agenda for Fu- ture Collaboration”; and the School of Global Studies at Gothenburg University will organize one on “The European Union in Africa: One Actor, Many Actors or No Actor?”. Finally, the African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) will hold a round table on “AERC China-Africa Economic Relations Project: Research Findings and Policy Implications?”.
***
In addition to academic panels and Round Tables the first Gerti Hesseling Prize will be awarded by AEGIS for the best contribution to a European African Studies journal by a younger African scholar. The ceremony will take place on 16 June in succession to the key note lecture by Professor Oyewumi. There will be a cultural programme, including two photo exhibitions, several book launches, an opportunity to meet the 2011 NAI Guest Writer Christopher Mlalazi from Zimbabwe and a series of films. The Academic Book Exhibition of the conference will include some 30 in- ternational publishers.
***
The conference venue will be Ekonomikum, centrally situated in the Uppsala University area. Our staff will do their utmost to assist you and we are looking for- ward to four fascinating, intensive and inspiring days.

Gerti Hesseling (1946–2009) was a legal anthropolo- gist at the African Studies Centre Leiden for nearly thirty years. In 1996 she became director of the ASC and in 2004 she stepped down and I succeeded her as director. It was thanks to her enthusiasm and skill that the ASC Leiden strengthened its research and external ties and adopted a more prominent position in the field of African Studies in general.
As a scholar, Gerti Hesseling combined an interest in macro-level research on constitutional affairs and, with issues such as land rights and access to land on a micro level. Her research covered all of the Sahel, but Senegal held a special place in her heart. In the early 1990s she was seconded to the Club du Sa- hel, where she coordinated a large multidisciplinary research project looking into the relationship between land rights and sustainable development, gaining the respect of many of her African colleagues.
Recognition of her academic achievements came with her appointment as professor extraordinary to the Koningsberger Chair of Peace Building and the Rule of Law at Utrecht University in 2004.
Gerti Hesseling was one of the founders of AEGIS.
At the opening of the ECAS 3 conference in Leipzig, Patrick Chabal and Alessandro Triulzi – with whom she shared many years of intellectual inspiration and joyful friendship as board members of AEGIS – com- memorated Gerti’s significance to AEGIS as follows:
“On 21 June 1999, Gerti went before a notary in Amsterdam and lodged the deed that estab- lished Stitching AEGIS as a Foundation in the Netherlands. On that day our network acquired a legal existence, which made it possible to institutionalise what had originally been an informal grouping of close colleagues from a few African Studies Centres”.
“That Gerti should have been the driving force behind the consolidation of AEGIS is not just due to the fact that she was a trained lawyer and knew that legal registration would be easiest in the Netherlands. It was down to her extraordinary personal qualities. Gerti had already been involved in the first, more infor- mal, period of AEGIS collaboration through
her long-established links with the CEAN in Bordeaux. This may well have had something to do with the fact that she preferred to speak French rather than English or that she delighted in the infinite variety of French wines she could sample on her forays to Bordeaux. But it was also because she was well aware that any aca- demic network should be based on personal ties and friendship, which she used with great skill to steer AEGIS through some of its more troubled history”.
“Gerti was a big personality, who marked her presence wherever she was, but she was modest. Her enthusiasm, her laugh, her visible friendships were also characteristic of a person who gave herself freely to the bigger cause of our network. To say that she was committed to the development of African Studies in Europe would be to minimise her stance: she was entirely devoted to the better understanding of Africa and the closer collaboration between African and European scholars”
Already in its 2009 Leipzig meeting the AEGIS Board discussed “the most appropriate means of honouring Gerti Hesseling as one of the founders and stalwart board members of AEGIS”. It was decided that a Gerti Hesseling Prize would be established to promote the work of young African scholars and that the most suitable way would be to seek nominations by AEGIS centres and European-based African Studies jour- nals – including AEGIS centres journals – for the best contribution to a European African Studies journal by a younger African scholar.
Knowing her dedication to young scholarship from Africa, I am sure that Gerti would have very much appreciated her name and legacy being attached to this prize.

Basil Davidson’s publications on the history and cul- ture of the African state began in an era when it was fashionable to deny that Africa had any history or states before the arrival of European colonialism at the end of 19th century. His faith in the strength of African achievements in indigenous statecraft was strong and unique, enabling him to offer extraordinary descrip- tions of African statehood. However, Davidson’s robust characterization of African traditional states of the past was in sharp contrast to his concerns about the misbehaviours of African rulers and the woeful failures of African states in modern times. Davidson’s attempt to explain this form of historic dissonance is offered in his last major book on Africa with the gloomy title of The Blackman’s Burden: Africa and the
Curse of the Modern State. This Lugard Lecture is atonce a tribute to Basil Davidson’s scholarship of the African state and an examination of its limitations. The argument is that Davidson misunderstood key points in the evolution of the African state, particularly the role played by Muslim Arabs in re-directing the character of the African state. This lecture thus attempts to offer an historical perspective on the difficulties that have plagued the history and culture of the African state.

Title: The Struggle to Convert Nationalism to Pan- Africanism: Taking Stock of 50 years of African Inde- pendence
The first generation of African nationalists was all pan- Africanist. The ideology of Pan-Africanism originated in the Diaspora towards the end of the nineteenth cen- tury. In 1945 it had transformed into an ideology of liberation and independence. In the late 50s and ear- ly 60s, the tension between territorial nationalism and Pan-Africanism rooted in solidarity of Africans, began to emerge. The first twenty-five years of independence saw the eclipsing of the Pan-Africanist ideology, at least in its anti-imperialist form. It was with the onset of neo-liberalism beginning with the 80s that imperialist ideology attempted to rehabilitate itself. The onslaught of neo-liberalism on radical nationalism has dramati- cally exposed the limits of territorial nationalism and exposed the illusion of state sovereignty as an anchor of people’s political and economic self-determination.
There is a resurrection of the Pan-Africanist ideology in both its forms. The statist form of pan-Africanism ex- presses itself in such neo-liberal discourses as NEPAD and regional integration in cahoots with western imperial states. People’s Pan-Africanism is groping for an intellectually articulate and politically popular expression. The central thesis of this lecture is that the grand narrative of Pan-Africanism has to be located within the grand narrative of worldwide capitalist accumulation during the last five centuries of Africa’s encounter with Europe. Only thus can Pan-Africanism assume its new role as an ideology of liberation and emancipation, anchored in a rigorous theoretical outlook. As Professor Souleymane Bachir Diagne, the chairman of CODESRIA’s Scientific Committee puts it:
Pan-Africanism must be transformed into a category of intellectual thought.
