  • Capital cities in Africa : power and powerlessness
  • 2012
  • Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • "Capital cities today remain central to both nations and states. They host centres of political power, not only national, but in some cases regional and global as well, thus offering major avenues to success, wealth and privilege. For these reasons capitals simultaneously become centres of "counter-power", locations of high-stakes struggles between the government and the opposition. This volume focuses on capital cities in nine sub-Saharan African countries, and traces how the power vested in them has evolved through different colonial backgrounds, radically different kinds of regimes after independence, waves of popular protest, explosive population growth and in most cases stunted economic development. Starting at the point of national political emancipation, each case study explores the complicated processes of nation-state building through its manifestation in the "urban geology" of the city - its architecture, iconography, layout and political use of urban space. Although the evolution of each of these cities is different, they share a critical demographic feature: an extraordinarily rapid process of urbanisation that is more politically than economically driven. Overwhelmed by the inevitable challenges resulting from this urban sprawl, the governments seated in most of these capital cities are in effect both powerful - wielding power over their populace -and powerless, lacking power to implement their plans and to provide for their inhabitants"--Publisher description.

  • Families in Latin America
  • 2023
  • In: Handbuch Familiensoziologie. - : Springer. - 9783658352189 - 9783658352196 ; , s. 241-262
  • Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • In this chapter, we ask What means Latin American family? First, we frame Latin American families from the socio-historical perspective, considering the works of Robichaux, about indigenous family patterns in Mesoamerica, and Therborn, who analysed creole families in the global context of the twentieth century. In the second section, a sociodemographic emphasis compares and contrasts family trends among Latin American countries with regard to other countries and regions of the world. The third and fourth sections develop issues concerning gender inequalities, gender diversity, sexual rights, migration, and the Pandemic. Sociological and political points of view fuse in the third, fourth, and fifth sections, which are among the most significant issues in the contemporary debate and their relation to families in Latin America. Selected cases of nation-states allow us to discuss the potential links between global issues and family life. At this point in the chapter, internal stratification remains evident, as is the phenomenon of inter-country inequalities in the region. Considering the “entanglement” between gender, race, age, and the resources needed for the daily life of Latin American families, similitudes, differences, and inequalities beyond the mere definition of family organisation arise. Moreover, the paper shows a persistent bimodal behaviour as a general pattern in one of the world’s most unequal regions.
