Ethnicity, voting and the promises of the independence movement in Tanzania: the case of the 2010 general elections in Mwanza Universiteit Gent

Mrisho Malipula
This dissertation explores the influence of ethnicity on determining votersU+2019 choices in Tanzania. The issue of explaining ethnicity and voting in Tanzania is puzzling. The puzzle stems from the fact that Tanzania is less ethnically politicised compared to most African states, despite being ethnically diverse with over 120 ethnic groups, sharing the colonial history and an ongoing anxiety about competitive politics and liberal economics ...

We recently demonstrated differences in fracture incidence by ethnicity in the UK population using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) [1]. In their letter, Harper et al. [2] draw attention to the differential age structure of the UK population by ethnicity, and suggest that the lower incidence of fractures in Asian adults over 50 years might reflect the lower proportion of very elderly individuals within this demographic compared ...

A Haasnoot, F D H Koedijk, Eline L M Op de Coul, H M Götz, Marianne van der Sande, Ingrid V. F. van den Broek

Ethnic disparities in chlamydia infections in The Netherlands were assessed, in order to compare two definitions of ethnicity: ethnicity based on country of birth and self-defined ethnicity. Chlamydia positivity in persons aged 16-29 years was investigated using data from the first round of the Chlamydia Screening Implementation (CSI, 2008-2009) and surveillance data from STI centres (2009). Logistic regression modelling showed that being an ...

The integration of insights from life-course theory, post-colonial, and feminist theories have resulted in valuable attempts to tackle issues related to ethnicity and old age. Inspired by these bodies ...

Charlotte De Kock, Tom Decorte, Wouter Vanderplasschen, Julie Schamp, Ilse Derluyn, Bert Hauspie, Dirk Jacobs, Muriel Sacco
In this paper we elaborate on the conceptual premises of studying ethnicity in an ongoing community based participatory research project (Green et al. 1995, Minkler et al. 2004, Israel etal. 2010) about the nature of substance use and access to treatment facilities in the Turkish community in Ghent (Belgium). Due to a lack of prevalence studies in ethnic and cultural minorities in Belgium and to the growing medicalization of research on ...

Depoliticised ethnicity in Tanzania: a structural and historical Narrative Universiteit Gent

Mrisho Malipula
Much of the literature on ethnicity in Africa regards ethnicity as a central cleavage and associates its politicisation with civil war and deteriorating socio-economic conditions. Tanzanian society is not structured by this cleavage, making it an outlier among African states. Despite the negative impact of politicised ethnicity, little is known of the circumstances through which it germinates and comes to have negative consequences, or how it ...

It discusses how MOS has ignored ethnicity, race, and national identity or depoliticized these issues by conceptualizing them as "natural" and disconnected from processes of power and inequality. The chapter introduces alternative perspectives in MOS that address ethnicity, race, and national identity as ...
