Straight Outta Khartoum: Displaced Music Scenes and the Art of Politics in Sudan
Khartoum's music scenes were historically intertwined with resistance movements, serving as channels for political communication and collective identity formation. The out-migration of musicians, producers, and fans did not weaken resistance — prolonged displacement paradoxically built resilient social infrastructures vital to the 2019 Sudanese uprising. Gendered asymmetries in accessing transnational networks shaped the revolution's music and the political identities it produced.

Bringing Pan-Africanism Back in as an Analytical Category
Pan-Africanism is reframed as an analytical category beyond normative ideals and institutional programmes. Drawing on long-term fieldwork and over 100 interviews across Addis Ababa, Accra, Abuja, Johannesburg, and London (2019–2025), the analysis focuses on contexts where Pan-Africanism acquires meaning, authority, and political force. Central are the claims, practices, and political reasoning of actors who invoke it across different sites.

Climate Security and Climate Justice: Recognizing Context in the Sahel. Tor A. Benjaminsen
As the 1.5°C threshold approaches, increased attention is being paid to climate change implications. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in the Sahel, the author argues that dominant narratives of desertification, security crises and a colonial spatial concept oversimplify realities: vegetation has improved since past droughts, while finance, foreign governments and local authorities shape intersecting climate security and climate justice approaches.
