Carolyn E. Holmes writes for The Monkey Cage about two books that take different roads to understand South Africa:The Inheritors: An Intimate Portrait of South Africa's Racial Awakening by Eve Fairbanks and Until We Have Won Our Liberty: South Africa after Apartheid by Evan Lieberman.  "It is not that Fairbanks's account of the New South Africa is pessimistic while Lieberman's is optimistic," writes Holmes. "Rather, Fairbanks understands the transition away from apartheid as a continuation of, rather than merely a break from, the past. And this is perhaps where the subtitles of each of these books can illuminate their difference."Review read by Ami Tamakloe. This episode was edited by Jack Kubinec.Find the books, links, and articles we mentioned in this episode on our website, ufahamuafrica.com.

It's been nearly thirty years since the fall of apartheid in South Africa. But what happens when the celebrations cease, the news cameras turn away, and the real work of democracy begins?   In this episode, a co-production with Foreign Policy, we take a look at South Africa's path to political and economic equality.   First, political scientist Evan Lieberman joins Voice of America's “Straight Africa Talk” host, Haydé Adams, to discuss the lingering “ghost of apartheid,” and why South Africa's electoral future gives him hope. Then, we turn to a recent episode of Foreign Policy's “The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women.” Host Reena Ninan uncovers the lesser-known role of women's rights in the fight to end apartheid, and how the current struggle to reform sexist marital and property laws in South African courts is keeping this legacy alive.   Guests:   Evan Lieberman, professor of political science at MIT Haydé Adams, host, Voice of America's “Straight Talk Africa” Reena Ninan, host, Foreign Policy's “The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women” Agnes Sithole, South African marital law reformist Sharita Samuel, South African lawyer   Host:  Ray Suarez   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

L' « ethnie » et la « tribu » ont traditionnellement été considérées comme un mode fondamental d'organisation des sociétés africaines. Mais ils peuvent aussi provoquer des conflits. Des dirigeants sans aucun scrupule peuvent attiser les tensions ethniques ou accorder plus de ressources à la résolution des problèmes de certains groupes ethniques.Dans l'épisode de cette semaine, Claude demande à trois invités d'Afrique du Sud, de l'Est et de l'Ouest comment dissocier les intérêts ethniques de la politique en Afrique. L'ethnie a-t-elle sa place dans la politique d'un État moderne ?Evan Lieberman est professeur de politique au Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Il a passé beaucoup de temps en Afrique du Sud. Pour lui, les intérêts ethniques sont incontournables.Mutemi wa Kiama est un militant et leader communautaire à Nairobi, au Kenya. Il est Kikuyu, la même ethnie que le président Kenyan Uhuru Kenyatta. Mais, il critique la façon dont les politiciens au Kenya se servent des groupes ethniques. Bakary Sambe est le directeur de l'Institut de Tombouctou / Centre africain d'études sur la paix, et est basé à Dakar, au Sénégal. Il est spécialiste de la radicalisation dans la région du Sahel. Il pense que d'autres raisons justifient souvent les conflits ethniques. Notre politique de confidentialité GDPR a été mise à jour le 8 août 2022. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

As countries around the world, including the U.S., confront rising authoritarianism, one country may offer insight into how democracy can triumph over minority rule.South Africa was supposed to go up in flames when Nelson Mandela became president in 1994. White people feared that the Black majority would take their revenge on those who long oppressed them.Instead, Mandela oversaw a peaceful transition to democracy. A quarter century after that negotiated transfer of power, a multiracial democracy took root and blossomed.I witnessed this remarkable democratic transformation when I reported from South Africa in the late 1990s and wrote a book about the transition from apartheid.Evan Lieberman offers a fresh take on South Africa's journey to democracy in his new book, “Until We Have Won Our Liberty: South Africa After Apartheid.” Lieberman is a total professor of political science and contemporary Africa at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.“At this time when the idea of democracy is under assault, South Africa shows us that (democracy) is still a really promising and probably our best political solution, particularly in diverse societies,” Lieberman said. South Africa offers “a reminder that we can solve our problems through a combination of elections, good institutions, deliberation and a public spiritedness that is intrinsic to democratic practice.”

When you hear people talk in such disparaging tones, that everything is broken, that nothing is possible, you need to ask yourself, is that right? When you look around, the answer is no. There are these examples where things do go right, where people work together and create a neighborhood or a community for themselves in which they can be prosperous and build better lives. And that's really what the democratic project is all about.Evan LiebermanA full transcript is available at www.democracyparadox.com.Evan Lieberman is a Professor of Political Science and Contemporary Africa at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Director of the MIT Global Diversity Lab, and the faculty director of the MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives (MISTI).

At a time when many democracies are under strain around the world, Until We Have Won Our Liberty: South Africa After Apartheid (Princeton UP, 2022) shines new light on the signal achievements of one of the contemporary era's most closely watched transitions away from minority rule. South Africa's democratic development has been messy, fiercely contested, and sometimes violent. But as Evan Lieberman argues, it has also offered a voice to the voiceless, unprecedented levels of government accountability, and tangible improvements in quality of life. Lieberman opens with a first-hand account of the hard-fought 2019 national election, and how it played out in Mogale City, a post-Apartheid municipality created from Black African townships and White Afrikaner suburbs. From this launching point, he examines the complexities of South Africa's multiracial society and the unprecedented democratic experiment that began with the election of Nelson Mandela in 1994. While acknowledging the enormous challenges many South Africans continue to face—including unemployment, inequality, and discrimination—Lieberman draws on the country's history and the experience of comparable countries to demonstrate that elected Black-led governments have, without resorting to political extremism, improved the lives of millions. In the context of open and competitive politics, citizens have gained access to housing, basic services, and dignified treatment to a greater extent than during any prior period. Countering much of the conventional wisdom about contemporary South Africa, Until We Have Won Our Liberty offers hope for the enduring impact of democratic ideals. Learn more about your ad choices.

Following World War II, the study of comparative politics and government grew as historians and governments tried to gain an understanding on the types of policies that states should enact to ensure their future prosperity. Questions regarding research design immediately began popping up: How could causation be established between the passage of a policy and subsequent benefits or misfortunes? What is the extent to which generalizations regarding policy passage in countries or governing bodies across the world can be made? How can real, hard data and evidence be used in statistical experiments when determining a policy's impact? All these questions held merit and required careful development of computational procedures in political science research to foster the field of comparative politics and guide government activity. To dig deep into the study of comparative politics and its evolution over time, we are joined by Dr. Evan Lieberman, Total Professor of Political Science and Contemporary Africa and Director of the Global Diversity Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. With Dr. Lieberman, we discuss several comparative politics research techniques, as well as some of his own case studies conducted on Africa. Make sure to check out his most recently published work Until We Have Won Our Liberty: South Africa after Apartheid, in which he explores the success of South Africa's democratic development since the end of Apartheid to their most recent national election in 2019 while carefully considering the complexities of the nation's multiracial society.

Great evening everybody! We just finished our first full day of activities for this session! Tonight on the pod we have 2nd year campers, and cabin 9 residents) Russell Rosenthal, Evan Abrams and Evan Lieberman join us to recap an awesome day at camp. Enjoy!
