One of the things I enjoyed most during my PhD research was witnessing some of my interlocutors translating their lives (and my research) into music. I am glad the article is finally out in Ethnography.

Narratives about the debt crisis in Global South countries typically present it as a technical issue or the fault of “corrupt” or “incompetent” governments.
This intentionally erases colonialism in creating Global South debt, & how it is utilised as a form of neo-colonialism.

On this day in 1955, the Bandung conference ended, an important moment in the making of a shared postcolonial consciousness. Amid narratives of a renewed Cold War, let's remember how nations in the Global South have since long resisted being taken in by one side or another.

Dat er een pro-Russisch sentiment leeft in Afrikaanse landen heeft niet enkel te maken met de vraag of Rusland zozeer een geloofwaardig verhaal heeft te vertellen op het continent. 1/

De torenhoge schulden waarmee vele Afrikaase landen zitten sinds het IMF hen SAPs oplegde en die de ongelijkheid vergrootten zijn niet vergeten en evenmin kwijtgescholden. De steun voor Rusland weerspiegelt misschien het meest van al wel een kritiek op het Westen.

Het is te makkelijk om de steun voor Rusland simpelweg te beschouwen als het resultaat van desinformatie of een diplomatiek offensief. Dat laatste zal ongetwijfeld meespelen. Maar het laat te weinig reflectie toe over de rol die het Westen jarenlang speelde op het continent.
