The recent wave of popular protests across North Africa and the Middle East has stimulated debate on the meaning and strategies of resistance in the 21st century. One key factor to emerge has been the absence of formal organizations in effecting the transformation of these states. To date, the literature on resistance in civil society in Africa has been dominated by exploration of the dynamics of formal NGOs, but this fails to take account of the changinglandscape of social change unfolding on the continent and the importance of both the local and informal. This book takes as its starting point what is actually happening on the ground, the expressions of resistance in thenon-governmental sphere and the various socio-economic, political, and artistic praxes that animate it. It examines the variety of organized and unorganized ways in which Africans exercise agency and resist state power. The bookevaluates the meaning of resistance and the politics of citizen action in Africa today; the way in which resistant practices impinge on the state and the kinds of state formations that are emerging as a response to citizen action;the use of popular culture as modes of resistance; and the power of cultural belonging in the public sphere. The book does not merely explore these practices but how agency and resistance engage, transform, co-opt, undermine, reproduce or reinforce the post-colonial African state.

Na drie jaar opleiding hadden we het gevoel dat de handelingen die we in de praktijk zouden mogen uitvoeren, niet in lijn zijn met wat we tijdens onze opleiding hebben geleerd. Toen het voorstel kwam om, in samenwerking met de 3 hogescholen, een beroepsvereniging op te richten voor dierenartsassistenten, zagen we dit meteen zitten. Zo'n vereniging is namelijk nodig om een drukkingsgroep te vormen, waardoor er veranderingen kunnen worden aangebracht op verschillende vlakken. O.a. aanpassen van de lijst met toegestane handelingen in de praktijk, bekendheid van het beroep, meer tewerkstelling in de sector, bijscholing speciaal voor dierenartsassistenten.
