        Divided Isles

        Solomon Islands and the China Switch

        by Edward Acton Cavanough

        In 2019, Solomon Islands made international headlines when the country severed its decades-old alliance with Taiwan in exchange for a partnership with Beijing. The decision prompted international condemnation and terrified Australian security experts, who feared Australia's historical Pacific advantage would come unstuck. This development is often framed as another example of China's inevitable capture of the region - but this misrepresents how and why the decision was made, and how Solomon Islanders have skilfully leveraged global angst over China to achieve extraordinary gains. Despite Solomon Islands' importance to Australia, local readers know little about the country, a fragile island-nation stretching over a thousand islands and speaking seventy indigenous languages. In Divided Isles, Edward Cavanough explains how the switch played out on the ground and its extraordinary potential consequences. He speaks with the dissidents and politicians who shape Solomon Islands' politics, and to the ordinary people whose lives have been upended by a decision that has changed the country - and the region - forever.

        China und Russland

        Kurze Geschichte einer langen Beziehung | Die grundlegende Einführung in die chinesisch-russischen Beziehungen

        by Sören Urbansky, Martin Wagner

        Urbansky und Wagner – zwei ausgewiesenen Kennern der beiden Länder – erzählen die wechselvolle Geschichte vielschichtiger Verbindungen, denen sich China und Russland niemals entziehen konnten. Als imperiale Großreiche, sozialistische Supermächte und autoritäre Gewaltregime glichen und verglichen sie sich, sie konkurrierten und kooperierten. China und Russland können sich nicht aus dem Weg gehen und marschieren doch nicht im Gleichschritt. Über das Verhältnis zwischen China und Russland wird viel spekuliert. Einerseits befürchten Beobachter:innen ein Bündnis der autoritären Regime. Andererseits widersprechen sich die geopolitischen Interessen Pekings und Moskaus oftmals. Auf der einen Seite nennen sich Xi Jinping und Wladimir Putin »gute Freunde«. Auf der anderen Seite ist unklar, ob die Länder sich auf Augenhöhe begegnen und wie sich die Machtbalance verschoben hat. Um die chinesisch-russischen Beziehungen im 21. Jahrhundert angemessen einzuordnen, muss man ihre lange Vergangenheit verstehen. Die Historiker Sören Urbansky und Martin Wagner führen in die vierhundertjährige Geschichte der beiden Nachbarn ein: von den ersten offiziellen Kontakten 1618 über das Zerwürfnis der beiden kommunistischen Regime unter Chruschtschow und Mao bis hin zu Chinas Reaktion auf Russlands Krieg in der Ukraine 2022.

        Lessons of Chinese Anti-Corruption History

        by Xi Hua

        Why did an egg provided for emperors in Qing Dynasty cost 10 liang (equal to 1,000 U.S. dollars)? How could a commoner be promoted to senior ofcial in two years merely because of a folding fan? Could Chong Zhen, the last emperor in Ming Dynasty, avoid fleeing away in despair and ending up hanging himself? Answers all lie in this impressive book. As a Chinese saying goes, "Guided by history, one can see through reasons behind a nation's rise and fall." Narrated by a senior cadre of Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the book consists of 24 referential stories about anti-corruption in Chinese history. Through continuously reflecting on past lessons, the author sums up valuable experience for combating corruption and building a trustworthy government.

        Maoismus

        Eine Weltgeschichte | Ein preisgekröntes und bahnbrechendes Werk über den globalen Einfluss Maos und Chinas von einer vielfach ausgezeichneten Autorin

        by Julia Lovell, Helmut Dierlamm, Norbert Juraschitz

        WIE DIE WELT DEM MAO-FIEBER ERLAG Unter der Herrschaft Xi Jinpings prägt der Maoismus bis heute die Politik Chinas. Umso wichtiger ist es, seine Geschichte zu verstehen. Revolutionär, brutaler Diktator, Pop-Ikone: Mao Zedong war eine der prägendsten Personen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das kleine Rote Buch, bis heute knapp eine Milliarde Mal gedruckt, verbreitete sein Denken weltweit. Antikoloniale Bewegungen beriefen sich ebenso auf den Großen Vorsitzenden wie Politsekten und Terrororganisationen. Rudi Dutschke propagierte den »Langen Marsch durch die Institutionen«. Andy Warhol wählte Mao als sein erstes nichtwestliches Motiv. In ihrem monumentalen Buch zeigt Julia Lovell, wie der Maoismus in China und zahlreichen anderen Ländern rund um den Globus zu einer so wirkmächtigen Ideologie werden konnte. Dabei verschiebt sie die Koordinaten der herkömmlichen Geschichtsschreibung. Fernab von Moskau und Washington beeinflusste Peking zur Hochzeit des Kalten Krieges den Konflikt in Vietnam, verhalf den Roten Khmer in Kambodscha an die Macht und inspirierte Guerillas in Indien und Peru. Lovell erklärt, warum Intellektuelle in Westeuropa von einer Weltanschauung fasziniert waren, die sich an chinesische Bauern richtete. Sie folgt den Wegen revolutionärer Kämpfer aus Afrika, Südamerika und den USA. »Ein beeindruckendes, zugängliches und [...] erstaunliches Buch« (Ian Johnson, Pulitzer-Preisträger).

        by edited by Msia Kibona Clark, Wunpini Fatimata Mohammed

        From Tamale to Paris, Hong Kong to Texas and back to Ouagadougou, this collection of scholarly chapters, poetry and personal essays theorizes the lives of African women and people of marginalized genders on the continent and the diaspora. The book is an important intervention in conversations on social movements and their convergence with digital media and other praxis tools. The contributors bring a refreshing perspective to discourses on African feminists' agency and how this manifests in their organizing in the physical world and in the digital public sphere. The volume demonstrates the relationships between the struggles of African feminists on the continent and the diaspora charting pathways for African scholars to build coalitions and work toward collective liberation.

        Drawings and Creative Writing Inspired by the Cultural and Architectural Heritage of Dar es Salaam

        by Sarah Markes

        The introduction to this extraordinarily beautifully illustrated book gives a fascinating overview of the history and architectural heritage of Dar es Salaam, and an insight into the efforts of those seeking to preserve it. The book captures 'fragments of the atmosphere, the sun bleached charm and the dynamic energy' of Dar es Salaam. Generic class and concrete skyscrapers are replacing human sized old Dar, and the frenzy to modernise shows little sign of abating. The city's cultural and historic memory is being erased by property development and its profits for the few. Through her drawings, the artist has recorded the vanishing city centre. She gives portraits of its colourful and dynamic people: living, going about their business, worshipping and gathering in its age old restaurants and tea rooms to spend time as generations have done so before. An important part of the book is short pieces of prose and poetry by some of the best creative writers in Dar today. They are snapshots of Dar and its people: the privileged, the poor, those who walk the streets going to places or aimlessly ambling, those in love and those who passed through Dar and left a record of their sojourn.

        A Biography of Julius Nyerere

        by Issa G. Shivji, Saida Yahya-Othman, Ng’wanza Kamata

        This is the first comprehensive biography of Julius Nyerere, a national liberation leader, the first president of Tanzania and an outstanding statesman of Africa and the global south. Written by three prominent Tanzanians, the work spans over 1200 pages in three volumes. It delves into Nyerere's early days among his chiefly family, and the traditions, friends and education that moulded his philosophy and political thought. All these provide the backdrop for his entrance into nationalist politics, the founding of the independence movement and his original experiment with socialism. The work took six years to research and write, involving extensive and wide-ranging interviews with persons from all walks of life in Tanzania and abroad. Among these were several leaders in East and Southern Africa who were based in Dar es salaam during their liberation struggles. The authors also visited several British universities and archives with material related to Nyerere and Tanzania, thus enriching the work with primary sources that not available in Tanzania. The book does not shy away from a critical assessment of Nyerere’s life and times. It reveals the philosopher ruler’s dilemmas and tensions between freedom and necessity, determinism and voluntarism and, above all, between territorial nationalism and continental Pan-Africanism.
