Same and other : negotiating African identity in cultural production
- 2001
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The idea of African Otherness has occupied a central role in discourses on cultural production in Africa, whether film, literature, music or the arts. These claims, articulated both by 'Western' and 'African' critics and consumers, means that particular criteria and standards are adopted in relation to cultural production in Africa. The claim to African Otherness is gaining new strength in the wake of globalisation, but it is also increasingly challenged by a number of contemporary artists. This book deals with the question of relevance and meaning of the signifier in various fields of contemporary cultural production in Africa: literature, film, sculpture, music, popular drama.

Självständig och beroende : kvinna i Botswana
- 1982
-
Book (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Den botswanska kvinnans dilemma - självständig och samtidigt beroende. Trots att det mesta av det vanliga jordbruksarbetet utförs av kvinnor och trots att en fjärdedel av hushållen på landsbygden har en kvinna som överhuvud, står enligt traditionell rätt alltid en kvinna under en mans förmyndarskap - hon betraktas som ett barn.

Sexual Violence as a Weapon of War? : Perceptions, Prescriptions, Problems in the Congo and Beyond
- 2013
-
Book (peer-reviewed)abstract
- All too often in conflict situations, rape is referred to as a 'weapon of war', a term presented as self-explanatory through its implied storyline of gender and warring. In this provocative but much-needed book, Eriksson Baaz and Stern challenge the dominant understandings of sexual violence in conflict and post-conflict settings. Reading with and against feminist analyses of the interconnections between gender, warring, violence and militarization, the authors address many of the thorny issues inherent in the arrival of sexual violence on the global security agenda. Based on original fieldwork in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as research material from other conflict zones, Sexual Violence as a Weapon of War? challenges the recent prominence given to sexual violence, bravely highlighting various problems with isolating sexual violence from other violence in war. A much-anticipated book by two acknowledged experts in the field, on an issue that has become an increasingly important security, legal and gender topic.

Hur ska det gå för Botswana?
- 1981
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Ja, hur ska det gå för ett land som gränsar till Sydafrika, som inte har någon kust och som är beroende av en järnväg genom Sydafrika för all sin import och export? Ett litet fattigt land som mest består av en öken - Kalahari.

Men finns det något verkligt intresse för det hos de styrande i landet?Det är några av de frågor som tas upp i den här boken av Bo Bjelfvenstam, TV-journalist, som under en följd av år skildrat olika delar av Afrika i sina dokumentärfilmer.

The Sahel crisis and the need for international support
- 2019
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The crisis in the Sahel is serious and multidimensional, and if it continues unabated it could have consequences far beyond the region. As the states of the region are too poor and weak to deal with this on their own, international support is needed. It is therefore a positive sign that the region of Sahel is higher on the international agenda than it has ever been. The challenge, however, is that current international approaches and interventions in the Sahel are more in line with short-term external priorities, such as stopping irregular migration to Europe and fighting insurgencies that have been defined as part of a global complex of jihadist terrorism. There is no doubt that there is a migration crisis in the Sahel and we do need a military approach to several of the insurgencies. However, it must be part of a much broader agenda of humanitarian assistance and development support that is context and conflict sensitive.This policy dialogue addresses the root causes of the Sahel crisis and shows how the situation has evolved over time. The current crisis is deeply rooted in historical circumstances that external stakeholders cannot ignore. The main area of focus for the report is the epicentre of the current conflict, which is located in and around Mali, but which may have several important ramifications for the neighbouring G5 Sahel countries of Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Niger.
