  English abstract:

  The Rhodesian settler project depended on the co-operation with black men, and on the Othering of them. Masculinity was a vital part of this dou- ble movement of practical proximity and narrative distance; cross-racial co- operation between men concerning the control of women, and the sexuali- sation of the ‘African’. The racialised discourse on ‘African’ masculinity contributes to the preservation of distance between the African Other and the European Self. The latter generally evades being objectified and stud- ied, as it is itself the master of objectification of others. Consequently, sci- entific curiosity has mostly been directed towards those who are construct- ed as different and exotic (McFadden, 2000), rather than towards those who construe themselves as Norm. Research on white Zimbabweans is lacking. In this chapter we examine the performance, reproduction and contestation of masculinity among white Zimbabweans. Those white Zimbabweans whose voices are represented below belong to a rapidly shrinking category of Zimbabweans. They are Eurasian second generation commercial farm- ers. The voices are Peter, Beatrice, John, Louisa and Patricia’s. The inter- views were conducted in September and October 2000, on what were then their farms in eastern and northern Zimbabwe.

  English abstract:

  In the last couple of years, a few references to Rhodesian pasts have appeared in European and US media. A widely distributed photograph depicted Dylann Storm Roof, who killed nine African Americans during prayer service in Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in a one-man terrorist attack, wearing a jacket decorated with the Rhodesian and apartheid South African fl ags ( Hanson 2015 ). In a different, yet discursively similar context of white supremacy, the 2014 UKIP EU elections poster-boy Andre Lampitt was suspended because of his racist references to Black Africans – references he argued were sanctioned by his experience of growing up in Rhodesia ( Chapman and Chorley 2014 ). Tucked away from the gaze of the public eye, Rhodesian militaria, authentic and fake, is being sold and bought at good prices across the globe. Rhodesian Security Forces uniforms are especially popular because of the very distinct camoufl age pattern, which is considered one of the most well-designed among collectors. 2 The relatively sudden appearance of Rhodesian references in European and US public media overlap with the rise in and general acceptance of right-wing, decidedly White nationalist activity in former colonial powers, 3 in independent settler states that they created, 4 and in states in their close proximity. 5 Interestingly, to someone who over the last decade and a half has followed the development of Rhodesian presence on the Internet, it also overlaps with an explosion of videos, webpages, and web-forums concerning Rhodesian-ness in different forms.

  English abstract:

  The current Swedish pension system is flexible. Workers may choose to retire, partially or fully, at any time after the age of 61, while still working fullor part-time. The system also allows retirees to temporarily stop collecting pension benefits and return to employment, but they have no right to continue working after the age of 67. Like in many other countries, the effective retirement age has been rising in Sweden since the mid-1990s and today it is the highest in the European Union (EU). In the following, we document the changes in effective retirement age by gender, education and health status. We also discuss what factors might underlie these changes. We start with an overview of the pension system, the development of health and the effective pension age for different groups, before making some reflections about challenges with regard to increasing the employment levels among elderly workers in Sweden in the future.
