This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'auteur nous propose une relecture complète de l'histoire coloniale et postcoloniale des Etats de l'Afrique noire contemporaine. Il faut dépasser, selon lui, l'opposition entre les partisans, modernistes et modernisateurs, du droit et de la société civile et les partisans, communautaristes, qui défendent les tribus et les cultures. Cette démarche conduit à reconsidérer l'héritage institutionnel, légué par le colonisalisme, ainsi que les types de résistance que ces pouvoirs ont suscités.
Download or read book African Cinema written by Manthia Diawara and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1992-04-22 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manthia Diawara provides an insider's account of the history and current status of African cinema. African Cinema: Politics and Culture is the first extended study in English of Sub-Saharan cinema. Employing an interdisciplinary approach which draws on history, political science, economics, and cultural studies, Diawara discusses such issues as film production and distribution, and film aesthetics from the colonial period to the present. The book traces the growth of African cinema through the efforts of pioneer filmmakers such as Paulin Soumanou Vieyra, Oumarou Ganda, Jean-René Débrix, Jean Rouch, and Ousmane Sembène, the Pan-African Filmmakers' Organization (FEPACI), and the Ougadougou Pan-African Film Festival (FESPACO). Diwara focuses on the production and distribution histories of key films such as Ousmane Sembène's Black Girl and Mandabi (1968) and Souleymane Cissé's Fine (1982). He also examines the role of missionary films in Africa, Débrix's ideas concerning 'magic, ' the links between Yoruba theater and Nigerian cinema, and the parallels between Hindu mythologicals in India and the Yoruba-theater - inflected films in Nigeria. Diawara also looks at film and nationalism, film and popular culture, and the importance of FESPACO. African Cinema: Politics and Culture makes a major contribution to the expanding discussion of Eurocentrism, the canon, and multi-culturalism.
Download or read book R flexions pour une politique de civilisation en Afrique contemporaine written by Franklin Nyamsi and published by Les Éditions du Net. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment produire une humanité africaine satisfaisante pour l’Afrique elle-même et exemplaire pour l’humanité ? Franklin Nyamsi nous livre ici des réflexions de fond et de circonstances sur les évolutions actuelles de l’Afrique. Le mérite de cet ouvrage consiste précisément en son va-et-vient entre la théorie de l’être-africain contemporain et les pratiques sociales, culturelles, économiques et politiques des sociétés africaines actuelles, que l’auteur connaît et vit en profondeur. Se situant entre la pensée conceptuelle et la pensée du quotidien, Franklin Nyamsi alterne les prismes, nous révélant une Afrique véritablement problématique, entre tragédies et joies, fatalisme et espérance. Chacune des douze analyses ici rassemblées est donc un tout, en relation avec toutes les autres.

Book excerpt: Sur la base d'une dramatisation caricaturale, la guerre sévirait partout en Afrique. Grand corps mou et fantasque, le continent, impuissant, serait engagé dans un processus d'autodestruction ravageante. L'action humaine, stupide et folle, y suivrait presque toujours autre chose qu'un calcul rationnel. Cannibalisme, pandémies et pestilence partout imposeraient leur loi. Non point que de détresse, il n'y en ait point. D'horribles mouvements, des lois qui fondent et ordonnent la tragédie et le génocide, des dieux qui se présentent sous le visage de la mort et de la destitution, des cadavres errant au gré des flots, des menaces de toutes sortes, des ondes aveugles, des forces terribles qui, tous les jours, arrachent les êtres humains, les animaux, les plantes et les choses à leur sphère de vie et les condamnent à mort : il y en a, en effet. Ce qui fait cependant défaut, loin des culs-de-sac, des constats à l'aveuglette et des faux dilemmes (afropessimisme contre afrocentrisme), c'est la radicalité du questionnement. Car ce que l'Afrique en tant que notion met en crise, c'est la façon dont la théorie sociale a, jusqu'à présent, pensé le problème du basculement des mondes, de leurs oscillations et de leurs tremblements, de leurs retournements et de leurs déguisements. C'est aussi la façon dont cette théorie a échoué à rendre compte du temps vécu dans sa multiplicité et ses simultanéités, sa volatilité, sa présence et ses latences, au-delà des catégories paresseuses du permanent et du changeant qu'affectionnent tant d'historiens.
Download or read book Africa com written by Jean-Louis Roy and published by Mosaic Press. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering work, full of detail and depth of knowledge about Africa ... a must read! Two powerful forces converged to shift global development in the last three decades from the West to the East and Asia. These same forces now make Africa the "construction site of the century." Africa in the decade 2040- 2050 will have a population of 2.5 billion people. Together with China and India, Africa will surely affect our planet's future! "Africans are and will continue to be the beneficiaries of two dramatic global transformations: first, the shift of wealth from the West to the East and the South; second, the impact of the universalization of the digital age. The OECD stated that the first transformation is " ... the most important shift in the history of humanity;"the second marks the emergence of new forms of human civilization ... This book documents these transformations now taking hold in Africa, however incomplete , unequal and difficult. But these changes are robust and decisive. In Africa, like everywhere else in the world, strategies and actions must be put into place to seize the moment which is so unique in global history." - Jean-Louis Roy, from the IntroductionJean-Louis Roy is a prolific author and renowned diplomat, public figure, journalist, professor with a life-long interest and commitment to Africa.

Download or read book Africa s World War written by Gerard Prunier and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rwandan genocide sparked a horrific bloodbath that swept across sub-Saharan Africa, ultimately leading to the deaths of some four million people. In this extraordinary history of the recent wars in Central Africa, Gerard Prunier offers a gripping account of how one grisly episode laid the groundwork for a sweeping and disastrous upheaval. Prunier vividly describes the grisly aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, when some two million refugees--a third of Rwanda's population--fled to exile in Zaire in 1996. The new Rwandan regime then crossed into Zaire and attacked the refugees, slaughtering upwards of 400,000 people. The Rwandan forces then turned on Zaire's despotic President Mobutu and, with the help of a number of allied African countries, overthrew him. But as Prunier shows, the collapse of the Mobutu regime and the ascension of the corrupt and erratic Laurent-D?sir? Kabila created a power vacuum that drew Rwanda, Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe, Sudan, and other African nations into an extended and chaotic war. The heart of the book documents how the whole core of the African continent became engulfed in an intractible and bloody conflict after 1998, a devastating war that only wound down following the assassination of Kabila in 2001. Prunier not only captures all this in his riveting narrative, but he also indicts the international community for its utter lack of interest in what was then the largest conflict in the world. Praise for the hardcover: "The most ambitious of several remarkable new books that reexamine the extraordinary tragedy of Congo and Central Africa since the Rwandan genocide of 1994." --New York Review of Books "One of the first books to lay bare the complex dynamic between Rwanda and Congo that has been driving this disaster." --Jeffrey Gettleman, New York Times Book Review "Lucid, meticulously researched and incisive, Prunier's will likely become the standard account of this under-reported tragedy." --Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: This anthology deals with the complexity, variety and experience of all the forms of mobility we witness today in Sub-Saharan Africa. Three sets of issues are being discussed. First, the concept of mobility itself is considered and how it is conceived of in distinction from sedentarity. Second, which forms of mobility can be distinguished, not only from the perspective of Western social sciences, but also from the perspective of people's own experiences, ideas, notions, etc? Social science in Africa has particularly focused on rural-urban migration, but it is clear that there are many other forms as well. Third, the concept of mobility concerns not only geographical space, but there are other 'spaces' to consider as well. In addition to 'forms of mobility' there is a 'mobility of forms' in which the perception of those other spaces plays a crucial role. In short, the book intends to turn the whole notion of mobility as a supposedly rupturing phenomenon on its head, emphasizing that rather through travelling connections are established and continuity is experienced. We are challenged to delve into the traveller's mind, to think and follow their multi-spatial livelihoods and to explore what it means to people if they move in a variety of spaces.
