Literature Review from the year 2009 in the subject African Studies - Literature, grade: A, University of Basel (Europainstitute), course: Europa-Kolloquium, language: English, abstract: On 14th May of 2009 at EuropainstitutBasel Patrick Chabal, professor at King'sCollege London, presented his book"Africa: The Politics of Suffering andSmiling". The former scholar of Harvardand Cambridge has written or was cowriterfor such books as Cultures Troubles(2006); Africa Works (1999); Power inAfrica (1992 and 1994) and AmílcarCabral (1982 and 2003). The questionusually asked about Africa: Why peoplesuffer? Suffer from poverty, violence,wars... Patrick Chabal asks more simplequestions about these complex matters:How do people define who they are?Where do they belong? What do theybelieve? How do they struggle to surviveand improve their lives? What is theimpact of illness and poverty? (EIB: 2009)In doing so Chabal proposes a radicallydifferent way of looking at politics of"suffer and smile" in Africa (Zed Books,2008: 5). To write about Africa inobjective way is challenging, but PatrickChabal tries to deal with this hard task.
