Arguably, fear, anger and despair dominate the poor, uneducated, twenty-year-old Bigger Thomas’s daily existence in Richard Wright’s Native Son. Nevertheless, old lies of white supremacy that have held black people in perpetual turmoil are crushed through violent reaction when Bigger strikes at white hegemony through the killing of Mary Dalton. This backlash throws the white community into panic mode. Apparently, African Americans’ increased susceptibility to the inferiority complex of the 1930s was dictated by the dubious racial stratification that allotted a place of superiority to the white race over the black race, which was considered inferior. This misconception was supported by Arthur de Gobineau’s The Inequality of Human Races ([1853] 1915) and Lucien Levy-Bruhl’s How Natives Think (1926). Bigger’s humanity, like that of other African-American youth of this period, is overwhelmed by the racial prejudices of the supremacist whites which demand that they must be meek, submissive and self-debased. As summed up at the trial of Bigger, American society gives black people no options in life and essentially denies them the basic rights of all humans to fulfil their destiny in relationship to the measure of their intelligence and talents. These denials have led to anger, shame and fear which have snowballed into crime and murder. We may, without difficulty, agree that Wright’s portrayal of the killing of Mary is not in any way designed to make Bigger a hero of the black protest against racial marginality. Rather, Bigger is created to accentuate the effects of suffocating social conditions that could turn an individual into an American “native son” raised in an atmosphere of transcendental hopelessness and weaned on the diet of violence, hatred and viciousness which provided the immediate platform for the launching of a backlash against American racism. Using the foregoing as its standpoint, this article examines white/black antipodes and race tensions in Richard Wright’s Native Son. It employs the Freudian conceptual construct of the human psyche, divided into the id, ego and superego, as a theoretical framework. A parallel of the hypothesis is conceived to expound the white/black taxonomy in race discourse. In Freudian psychology, the id is irrational and it projects pleasure principles. The ego is, however, rational and mature, while the superego mediates between the id and the ego. These paradigms are used to explore the collective psyche of race theorists in the paper.
可以说，在理查德·赖特的《土生土长的儿子》中，恐惧、愤怒和绝望主宰着贫穷、没有受过教育的20岁男孩比格·托马斯的日常生活。然而，当比格通过杀害玛丽·道尔顿(Mary Dalton)打击白人霸权时，白人至上主义的旧谎言被暴力反应粉碎，这些谎言使黑人永远处于动荡之中。这种反弹使白人社区陷入恐慌状态。显然，非裔美国人在20世纪30年代对自卑情结的日益敏感，是由可疑的种族分层所决定的，这种分层给白人赋予了优越的地位，而黑人则被认为是劣等的。这种误解得到了Arthur de Gobineau的《人类种族的不平等》([1853]1915)和Lucien Levy-Bruhl的《当地人如何思考》(1926)的支持。与这一时期的其他非裔美国青年一样，比格的人性也被白人至上主义的种族偏见所压倒，这种偏见要求他们必须温顺、顺从和自卑。正如在Bigger的审判中总结的那样，美国社会在生活中没有给黑人任何选择，从本质上剥夺了他们实现与他们的智力和才能有关的命运的所有人类的基本权利。这些否认导致了愤怒、羞耻和恐惧，这些愤怒、羞耻和恐惧滚雪球般地演变成犯罪和谋杀。我们可能会毫不费力地同意，赖特对玛丽之死的描绘绝不是为了让比格成为黑人反对种族边缘化抗议的英雄。相反，《更大》的创作是为了强调令人窒息的社会条件的影响，这种社会条件可能会把一个人变成一个美国“本土儿子”，在先验的绝望氛围中长大，在暴力、仇恨和邪恶的饮食中断奶，这为发起对美国种族主义的强烈抵制提供了直接的平台。本文以上述观点为立脚点，考察了理查德·赖特的《土生之子》中白人/黑人的对立和种族紧张关系。它采用弗洛伊德的人类心理概念结构，分为本我，自我和超我，作为理论框架。本文提出了一个平行的假设来阐述种族话语中的白人/黑人分类法。在弗洛伊德心理学中，本我是非理性的，它投射出快乐原则。然而，自我是理性和成熟的，而超我介于本我和自我之间。本文利用这些范式来探讨种族理论家的集体心理。

Nuclear technology remains a critical point of interest for many states in the post-Cold War era either as they enhance their weapons arsenal and/or advance on the peaceful uses of nuclear technology. This can become problematic for smaller states that greater powers are suspicious of. Using Bolivia as a case study this article seeks to understand how Bolivia has accommodated the three pillars of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty into its foreign policy in an attempt to elude suspicion and develop atoms for peace. This investigation is undertaken by using desktop research that seeks to understand Bolivia’s stances toward nuclear weapons as well as its desires (and how it seeks to fulfil these desires) of obtaining peaceful nuclear technology. The findings suggest that Bolivia is fully compliant with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and is not discriminatory in the selection of its partners both at home and abroad as long as they share mutual interests and yield the best possible outcome for Bolivia. Furthermore, this research also reveals that Bolivia has been tactful in its alliance and partner formation so that those chosen help to elevate Bolivia’s international status. In conclusion, it is unquestionable that Bolivia has created some remarkable opportunities for itself thanks to its tactfulness; however, Bolivia also faces some key domestic economic realities that could hinder its ambitions.

This paper considers the effect of violence on the emotions of IS fighters and the resultant consequences of those emotions as a factor in their choice to use violence. By interrogating the human aspect of the fighters, I am focusing not on religion but on human agency as a factor in the violence. In this regard, this paper is about reorienting the question about the violence of IS not as “religious” violence but as a response to how these fighters perceive what is happening to them and their homeland. It is about politicising the political, about the violence of the state and its coalition of killing as opposed to a consistent effort to frame the violence into an explanation of “extremist religious ideology.” This shift in analysis is significant because of the increasing harm that is caused by the rise in Islamophobia where all Muslims are considered “radical” and are dehumanised. This is by no means a new project; rather it reflects the ongoing project of distortion of and animosity toward Islam, the suspension of ethics and the naturalisation of war. It is about an advocacy for war by hegemonic powers and (puppet regimes) states against racialised groups in the name of defending liberal values. Furthermore, the myth of religious violence has served to advance the goals of power which have been used in domestic and foreign policy to marginalise and dehumanise Muslims and to portray the violence of the secular state as a justified intervention in order to protect Western civilisation and the secular subject.

The article unpacks key policy and development issues and priorities with regards to Africa’s development at the G20 Summit held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in November 2018. The core themes are industrial development challenges and opportunities for African economies as they integrate in the global economy, tracing structural issues such as commodity cycles, infrastructure and policy requirements for sustainable economic development in the fourth industrial revolution era. It unpacks the education and skills development requirements for Africa to effectively—and equitably—participate in the global knowledge economy. The study then details African industrialisation pathways and options from various academic perspectives in an increasingly competitive world

The assumption of the Group of 20 (G20) rotating presidency in December 2017 has created a meaningful window of opportunity for Argentina in order to wield its influence on the international agenda and build its reputation within the global arena. In addition, the Argentinean G20 presidency has become a significant chance to project a Southern and/or developing perspective within this global forum established to debate and address the most pressing economic and political international challenges. This article aims to analyse the agenda and challenges of the Argentinean G20 presidency. In so doing, it attempts to shed light on the following questions: What mechanisms or means will the Argentine Republic deploy in order to exert its influence on the group? Will Argentina represent the voice of Latin American and emerging countries or will it have an acquiescent behaviour towards the central powers? Will the Argentinean presidency be able to ease the group’s internal tensions? Finally, might the Argentinean presidency overcome the critics regarding the G20’s legitimacy?

The role of G20 and its impact on African and global policies have always been up for debate. Over the years since the establishment of the G20, policies ranging from climate change, financial flows and sustainable development have increasingly featured on the G20’s agenda. This agenda has expanded over the years to include much broader topics that are increasingly relevant to the global economic community. This has resulted in significant overlaps between the G20’s agenda and the African Union’s Development Agenda for 2063. These have been identified mainly because of the similarities across the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that the G20 has strived to incorporate. However, aligning African interests with the G20 agenda remains a core priority particularly for the African continent, which is impacted by G20 policies. In order to reach the envisioned goals set out in Agenda 2063, African priorities need to be fully aligned with those of the G20. With greater inclusivity and representation of African representatives and priorities, combined with support for Africa’s development agenda, more can be achieved that will have a meaningful impact on reaching the goals of the African Union’s Agenda 2063.

Agriculture plays a crucial role in Africa. Agriculture is the base of many economies and a significant sector of employment. However, the agricultural sector underperforms and as a result Africa is food insecure and economies that are largely powered by agriculture remain weak. Indeed, a huge and growing food import bill is a testimony to the underperformance of Africa’s agricultural sector. The potential of agriculture remains untapped and indeed the significant opportunity for an agricultural driven African industry has yet to be exploited, though urbanisation has created demand for processed and convenient foods and thus a ready market for food processing sectors. Developing a dynamic agro-processing sector will require the development of well-functioning agricultural value chains. However, agricultural value chains are plagued by many challenges that make it hard for them to deliver this. These challenges will need to be addressed. Much of this will call for many innovations along the agricultural value chains. Studies done by ACET and others have revealed emerging innovations that are addressing many of the challenges and that have potential for being scaled and replicated. Agricultural policy makers need to understand the role of innovations across the value chain and in particular business model innovations. Policy should then seek to catalyse and scale innovation. This paper looks at a number of business model innovations that have the potential to upgrade agricultural value chains and support the emergence of a strong food processing sector and gives policy recommendations.

How will Argentina’s presidency frame Latin American–African relations in the context of the G20 partnership with Africa? How can African stakeholders utilise Argentinian priorities to achieve their own development priorities? Will Argentina position itself as a key actor in bringing a cohesive Latin American perspective to the G20? In light of Buenos Aires’ significance for South-South cooperation, what opportunities exist for advancing the interests of the Global South?
