Angola was no exception to this trend, with small protests, beginning in 2011 and continuing into the present. Angola’s protests generated public contestations between protestors and the incumbent regime over what constituted legitimate political engagement. This contestation raised the question of what exactly defined democratic representation. The ruling MPLA appealed to established political institutions and practice to claim it embodied a democratic mandate. In contrast, protestors argued that the ruling party had emptied out the very rituals and laws it claimed to represent, thereby rendering their actions more representative of popular sentiment. What became clear was that discourses of democracy could be used for both liberatory, as well as repressive, actions. These contestations in Angola, reveal how third wave protests called for a rethinking of democracy.}, number={1}, journal={Transformation: Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa}, publisher={Project MUSE}, author={Gastrow, Claudia}, year={2022}, pages={11–34} }

While these projects provoked new discussions about African urbanism, the literature on them has focused more on the paperwork of planning than actual urban experiences. This article addresses this lacuna by investigating residents' reactions to the post-conflict building boom in Luanda, Angola. I show that Luandans' held highly ambivalent orientations towards the emerging city. Their views were shaped by suspicions about pacts between Angolan elites and international capital that recapitulated longstanding tensions over national belonging. These concerns were voiced via discussions of the very aesthetics of the new city. Buildings became catalysts for expressions of dissent that put into question the very project of state-driven worlding. The paper therefore argues that the politics of aesthetics are central to grasping the contested understandings of urbanism currently emerging in various African cities.}, number={2}, journal={Antipode}, author={Gastrow, C.}, year={2017}, pages={377–396} }

Many organisations have tracked the rights violations that demolitions entail. What has been overlooked, however, is the political significance of slums, which this paper argues produce their own imaginations of ‘good urbanism’ becoming critical sites for the imagining of urban political belonging. Exploring the case of urban redevelopment and slum demolition in Luanda, Angola, this paper argues that in this megacity, quotidian notions of citizenship are mediated through the material and aesthetic worlds of slum housing construction, more specifically the cement-block house. It draws on theories that understand citizenship and belonging not simply as juridical categories but more substantively produced through shared imaginations and symbolic worlds. This paper shows that urban politics needs to be understood as mediated through deeply material struggles over emplacement and incorporation that hinge on competing normative visions of the urban.}, number={2}, journal={Citizenship Studies}, author={Gastrow, C.}, year={2017}, pages={224–239} }

Il étudie la façon dont les victimes de démolitions urbaines, en essayant d’obtenir compensation pour la perte de leur propriété, remettent en cause des formes établies de relations entre État et citoyens. L’auteure avance que la croyance dans le pouvoir du Mouvement populaire de libération de l’Angola (MPLA) a conduit de nombreuses victimes de démolitions à s’en éloigner précisément parce qu’elles le considéraient comme responsable de leurs malheurs. En prenant comme point de départ une réflexion sur l’autorité de l’État constituée de façon dialogique par la reconnaissance mutuelle entre État et citoyens, l’article montre comment les victimes de démolitions ont essayé de déplacer leur quête de reconnaissance en­dehors de la sphère du parti vers d’autres sphères que sont la loi et l’esthétique urbaine. Ce faisant, elles offrent une alternative au type de relations politiques qui sont à la base du pouvoir du MPLA, contribuant à l’érosion de son hégémonie.}, number={4}, journal={Politique africaine}, publisher={CAIRN}, author={Gastrow, Claudia and Josse-Durand, Chloé}, year={2013}, month={Dec}, pages={49–72} }

In particular the author stresses issues that became salient during the movement's existence: the proper role of a university in society, the moral grounds for divestment, issues of democracy within the university, and racism on campus. In highlighting the intense debate and activity that took place at UIUC, this study remembers a forgotten historical development in the history of the university, and, by providing a micro-study of one particular grass-roots group and its achievements, plays a small part in countering the “great man” historical approach that threatens to skew the historical record by ignoring the significant impact of grassroots organizations in the U.S. anti-apartheid movement}, number={4}, journal={Safundi}, author={Gastrow, C.}, year={2005}, pages={1–26} }
