Nigerian Politics: A Case Study of Military CoupsJombo, Augustin B. (Augustin Bolsover) 05 1900 (has links)
This study surveys the issue of military coups in Nigerian politics. An attempt is made to explain the causes of coups d'etat. To this end, Thompson's thesis of military grievances has been rigorously employed to explain the occurrences of military coups in Nigeria. The Thompson thesis asserts that coups occur because the military is aggrieved. A study of the opinions of expert observers familiar with Nigerian politics confirmed that four out of the six military coups occurred due to problems emanating from the Nigerian military establishment. Although military grievances such as its political positions, resource bases, ethnicity, and factions within the military caused most coups, there is sufficient evidence that societal factors like economic crises, election decisions, and the need for reforms also encouraged the military to overthrow governments in Nigeria.

Nigerian Military Government and Problems of Agricultural DevelopmentAgboaye, Izilin Christiana 08 1900 (has links)
This thesis attempts to analyze the military government's role in solving the country's agricultural problems. This analysis is essential because it was during the military's stay in power that Nigeria's potential as a selfsufficient and food exporting nation declined. Materials collected to analyze the above problems reveal that the military government's lack of adequate personnel to supervise and implement decisions taken on agriculture, unplanned schemes, and unresearched projects were partly responsible for the government's inability to solve Nigeria's agricultural problems. While it may be necessary to blame the military government for not being able to completely solve the country's numerous agricultural problems, the presence of global political and economic decisions seriously hampered measures taken by the military government.

La construcción de lo andino en el imaginario musical fusión de la banda El Polen en la Lima cosmopolita de la década de 1970De Souza Pacheco, Jorge Aurelio 23 January 2023 (has links)
El Polen es una de las bandas pioneras y una de las principales representantes
latinoamericanas del rock fusión en Perú. Además, la banda surgió en una época
importante del rock peruano que es la etapa comprendida entre los años 1960 al
1975. La presente investigación busca contribuir con la escasa investigación sobre
el rock peruano en general, y sobre esta etapa en particular. El tema central de la
investigación es el rock fusión del grupo El Polen en el contexto de la década de
1970 del siglo XX y tiene como objetivo principal comprender cómo la banda, grupo
musical cosmopolita perteneciente a una élite cultural de la sociedad limeña,
construyó un concepto de lo andino para integrarlo a su imaginario musical de
“fusión” en Lima. A partir de esto se desprenden dos objetivos específicos: Analizar
cuál es la concepción de música andina en la fusión “rock - música andina” de El
Polen y explicar cómo esta concepción de lo andino en el imaginario musical de la
banda se expresa en la elección de géneros, ritmos, formas musicales, así como
en la instrumentación y la performance, es decir conocer cómo es el proceso de
recreación musical y de transformación de formas musicales.
A partir del análisis del contexto, el estudio del universo musical de los hermanos
Pereira, músicos fundadores de la banda, la producción sonora de El Polen,
entrevistas a ellos, recogidas en youtube y diarios de la época y contemporáneos,
la investigación expone que en la configuración de la música participan los
siguiente factores: 1) El discurso del indigenismo en la dictadura de Juan Velasco
Alvarado, que partía de discursos paternalistas y tutelares en donde lo indígena
era asumido como lo oriundo de la nación, pero que estarían en un estado de
inferioridad política y cultural, este indigenismo mientras reivindica las culturas
indígenas en la conformación de la nación por otro lado construye mitológica y
nostálgicamente un pasado pre colonial; 2) la existencia de un cambio de
paradigma hacia la mitad del siglo XX, bajo el cual ya no se hablaba de música
incaica para referirse a la música hecha en el área andina sino de música andina,
idea que traslucía ciertas discursivas de redención del héroe, escenario en el cual,
la imagen de esta música la devenía en figura victoriosa; 3) la adecuación del
discurso hippie a la convulsión social peruana de la época, que veía en lo andino
iii
el factor perfecto para esta resignificación, sumado al uso de alucinógenos, propia
de esta práctica extranjera, que llevaría a los músicos a experimentar nuevas
exploraciones sonoras y transformaciones musicales, se suma a este panorama la
adopción de características sonoras de la psicodelia, tendencia que impulsaba una
ruptura e innovación radicales en lo musical, en cuanto experimentaciones
sonoras, exploraciones rítmicas, de timbres y de atmósferas sonoras, incorporando
el ruidismo; la duración extensa de los temas tomada del rock progresivo y la
tendencia narrativa a prescindir de cualquier división formal entre versos y
estribillos. Todos estos factores hicieron posible la construcción de un concepto de
lo andino que sintonizaría con un imaginario musical de “fusión” y su tangibilización
en lo sonoro: la fusión rock con música andina.

Britain and the development of leftist ideology and organisations in West Africa: the Nigerian experience, 1945-1965Tijani, Hakeem Ibikunle 08 1900 (has links)
Although organised Marxist organisations did not emerge in Nigeria until the mid-1940s, leftist ideology had been prevalent among nationalist and labour leaders since the late 1920s. Both official documents and oral histories indicate deep-rooted support for leftism in Nigeria and anxiety among British colonial officials that this support threatened the Colonial Office's own timetable for gradual decolonisation. This study analyses the development of leftist ideology and attempts to establish a nationwide leftist organisation in colonial and post-independent Nigeria.
The role of the Zikist movement is retold in light of new evidence, while other leftist organisations are salvaged from the footnotes of Nigeria nationalist history. More importantly, the adaptability of Marxist-Leninist ideology to colonial reality by the different leftist groups in Nigeria is emphasized. The reaction of Anglo-American officials in Lagos and the metropolis towards the Communist Party of Great Britain and other leftist organisations' sponsorship of Marxist groups in Nigeria are discussed. Lastly, the continuity between the departing colonial power and the Balewa administration is addressed to juxtapose the linkage between the two governments. The study thus provides a lucid explanation for the failure of leftist ideology and organisations in Nigeria during the twentieth century.
In this eight-chapter thesis I consistently argue, based on official documents from England, Nigeria, and the United States, that the role of Marxists and Soviet Cold War interests in colonial territories are relevant to nationalism and decolonisation in Nigeria; that the issue is not to determine or measure whether or not Anglo-American policies are direct response to Soviet interests; that there are political, economic, and diplomatic policies carried out as part of the transfer of power process; and that the success of these is partly a result of collaboration with local subaltern leaders and official resolve to institutionalise imperial preferences before independence on October 1, 1960. / History / D.Litt. et Phil.

Cinema Novo et conscientisation / Cinema Novo e conscientizaçãoFicamos, Bertrand 22 November 2007 (has links)
Les objectifs de cette thèse sont de mettre à jour, d\'analyser et de critiquer la conception du cinéma révolutionnaire qui a été portée par le Cinema Novo et s\'est fondée sur le concept de « conscientisation » tel qu\'il a été formulé par les sciences sociales brésiliennes dans les années cinquante. Le Cinema Novo, que nous définirons comme un groupe de cinéastes, soutient une production suivie dans le Brésil des années soixante et se présente comme un cinéma humaniste, ayant pour but la prise de conscience par la population brésilienne des mécanismes sociaux, culturels, économiques et politiques qui expliquent le sous-développement, afin qu\'elle se révolte et fasse la révolution. Glauber Rocha fut la figure de proue de ce cinéma qui ne se résume pas à lui et qui a beaucoup évolué au cours de ses dix ans d\'existence. Nous le verrons en étudiant, entre autres : Sécheresse (Vidas secas) de Nelson Pereira dos Santos, Les Fusils (Os Fuzis) de Ruy Guerra, Le Dieu noir et le diable blond (Deus e o diabo na terra do sol), Terre en transe (Terra em transe) et Antonio-das-Mortes (O Dragão da maldade contra o santo guerreiro) de Glauber Rocha. Notre approche s\'insère dans le champ cinéma-histoire et applique à un nouvel objet d\'étude les méthodes développées sur d\'autres sujets par Michel Marie, Jean-Pierre Esquenazi ou encore Jean-Pierre Bertin-Maghit. Nous verrons ici comment, assimilant cinéma d\'auteur et cinéma révolutionnaire, le Cinema Novo a évité les schémas classiques et manipulateurs d\'un cinéma de propagande sans pour autant établir avec le grand public une relation suivie et devenir ce cinéma populaire de conscientisation idéalisé à ses débuts. / A tese apresentada pretende revelar, analisar e criticar a concepção do cinema revolucionário defendida pelo Cinema Novo fundada no conceito de conscientização formulada pelas ciências sociais brasileiras nos anos cinqüenta. O Cinema Novo, definido aqui como um grupo de cineastas, produz um volume conseqüente de filmes durante os anos sessenta. Ele se apresenta como um cinema humanista que tem por objetivo provocar a compreensão, pela população brasileira, dos mecanismos sociais, culturais, políticos e econômicos que explicam o subdesenvolvimento, para que esta se revolte e faça a revolução. Glauber Rocha foi o líder incontestável deste cinema que no entanto não se restringe a ele e que muito evoluiu durante seus dez anos de existência como veremos estudando entre outros : Vidas secas de Nelson Pereira dos Santos, Os Fuzis de Ruy Guerra, Deus e o diabo na terra do sol, Terra em transe e O Dragão da maldade contra o santo guerreiro de Glauber Rocha. Nossa perspectiva se insere no campo de estudo das relações entre cinema e história e aplica a um novo objeto métodos anteriormente desenvolvidos por Michel Marie, Jean-Pierre Esquenazi e Jean-Pierre Bertin-Maghit. Nós veremos como, a partir da assimilação entre cinema de autor e cinema revolucionário, o Cinema Novo conseguiu evitar os esquemas clássicos do cinema de propaganda sem no entanto estabelecer com o público uma relação estável, nem se tornar esse cinema popular de conscientização idealizado no início dos anos sessenta.
