Ibrahim, the parliamentarian and member of the Political Bureau of the Sudan Communist Party. It discusses the versatility of the magazine working with the mass of home makers and the few emerging working women in the environment of the unforgiving patriarchy of the 1950s in the Sudan. The piece shows specially the ethnographic sensitivity with which the staff of the magazine analyzed women's culture to deserve being called vanguard not an elite.

In defining Africans as exclusively authchounus and black, African nativistic discourses deny these Arabs indigeneity in the continent. They are guests who have overstayed their income and their removal by a final solution is not an overstretch.
The article will highlight the nativistic and other discourses delegitimizing the Arabs and Islam of their citizenship in the continent. It will revisit the work and legacy of Hegel, Julius Nyerere, Wole Soyinka, Ali Mazrui, Antony Appiah, and the Afrocentrists, to understand the Arab edge’s existential difficulties in Africa.
To overcome their alienation from Africa, the Arab edge’s deliverance is tied to the deconstructionist discourses. In viewing Africa as an invention with no essence that does not exhaust its historical richness and future possibilities, deconstructionism will rehabilitate the Arab edge.
