Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Actes du colloque international " Entreprises et Entrepreneurs en Afrique, XIXe et XXe siècles ", organisé en décembre 1981 par le Laboratoire " Connaissance du Tiers-Monde " de l'Université Paris VII, rassemblent les communications rédigées par des spécialistes de réputation internationale venus des horizons géographiques et disciplinaires les plus divers en sciences humaines. Ils font le point des connaissances et des recherches actuelles sur la genèse et l'évolution du monde des affaires depuis la veille de l'ère coloniale. L'Entreprise, expression concrète et active des mécanismes économiques d'une société en mutation, est ici appréhendée comme le révélateur des bouleversements provoqués par la domination du monde capitaliste sur des sociétés naguères rurales et surtout pré-industrielles. La réflexion a été centrée autour de quatre pôles : les entreprises autochtones, les entreprises impériales, l'Etat et l'entreprise, les entreprises contemporaines. L'approche pluridisciplinaire enrichit l'analyse d'un ensemble complexe, articulé dans le temps et dans l'espace, allant de la micro-entreprise informelle à la firme multinationale. Cet ouvrage vient à point pour éclairer les recherches en cours sur les processus liés d'urbanisation et d'industrialisation dans le Tiers-Monde en général, et sur le continent africain en particulier.

Download or read book A Colonial Lexicon written by Nancy Rose Hunt and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-15 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Colonial Lexicon is the first historical investigation of how childbirth became medicalized in Africa. Rejecting the “colonial encounter” paradigm pervasive in current studies, Nancy Rose Hunt elegantly weaves together stories about autopsies and bicycles, obstetric surgery and male initiation, to reveal how concerns about strange new objects and procedures fashioned the hybrid social world of colonialism and its aftermath in Mobutu’s Zaire. Relying on archival research in England and Belgium, as well as fieldwork in the Congo, Hunt reconstructs an ethnographic history of a remote British Baptist mission struggling to survive under the successive regimes of King Leopold II’s Congo Free State, the hyper-hygienic, pronatalist Belgian Congo, and Mobutu’s Zaire. After exploring the roots of social reproduction in rituals of manhood, she shows how the arrival of the fast and modern ushered in novel productions of gender, seen equally in the forced labor of road construction and the medicalization of childbirth. Hunt focuses on a specifically interwar modernity, where the speed of airplanes and bicycles correlated with a new, mobile medicine aimed at curbing epidemics and enumerating colonial subjects. Fascinating stories about imperial masculinities, Christmas rituals, evangelical humor, colonial terror, and European cannibalism demonstrate that everyday life in the mission, on plantations, and under a strongly Catholic colonial state was never quite what it seemed. In a world where everyone was living in translation, privileged access to new objects and technologies allowed a class of “colonial middle figures”—particularly teachers, nurses, and midwives—to mediate the evolving hybridity of Congolese society. Successfully blurring conventional distinctions between precolonial, colonial, and postcolonial situations, Hunt moves on to discuss the unexpected presence of colonial fragments in the vibrant world of today’s postcolonial Africa. With its close attention to semiotics as well as sociology, A Colonial Lexiconwill interest specialists in anthropology, African history, obstetrics and gynecology, medical history, religion, and women’s and cultural studies.

Download or read book Cultural Entrepreneurship in Africa written by Ute Röschenthaler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to widen perspectives on entrepreneurship by drawing attention to the diverse and partly new forms of entrepreneurial practice in Africa since the 1990s. Contrary to widespread assertions, figures of success have been regularly observed in Africa since pre-colonial times. The contributions account for these historical continuities in entrepreneurship, and identify the specifically new political and economic context within which individuals currently probe and invent novel forms of enterprise. Based on ethnographically contextualized life stories and case studies of female and male entrepreneurs, the volume offers a vivid and multi-perspectival account of their strategies, visions and ventures in domains as varied as religious proselytism, politics, tourism, media, music, prostitution, funeral organization, and education. African cultural entrepreneurs have a significant economic impact, attract the attention of large groups of people, serve as role models for many youths, and contribute to the formation of new popular cultures.
Download or read book An Economic History of West Africa written by A. G. Hopkins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering and celebrated work was the first, and remains the standard, account of the economic history of the huge area conventionally known as West Africa. The book ranges from prehistoric times to independence and covers the former French territories, as well as those colonised by the British. It criticises conventional beliefs about economic backwardness, offers an alternative account that explains the particular configuration of poverty that characterised the pre-colonial period, and assesses the consequences of the region’s interaction with the wider world – from the growth of the Saharan and Atlantic trades to the rise and demise of colonial rule. This edition contains a substantial new Introduction that discusses the development of the subject during the past 50 years, evaluates the debate over the original interpretation, and provides a valuable guide to additional reading, bringing the reader up to date with current scholarship on the subject, as well as providing avenues for further independent research. Appearing at a time when the study of African economic history is enjoying a revival and is engaging economists as well as historians, the book fills a large gap in African studies, provides newcomers with a stimulating point of entry into the subject, and contributes to our understanding of wider issues of global underdevelopment.

Download or read book crire l histoire de l Afrique l poque coloniale written by Dulucq Sophie and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecrire l'histoire de l'Afrique est une entreprise aux racines anciennes. A l'ère de l'impérialisme triomphant, cette historiographie s'est affirmée dans un paysage intellectuel, politique et idéologique que cette étude s'attache à reconstituer. En France comme dans les territoires coloniaux, historiens et auteurs variés ont ainsi exhumé des pans entiers d'un passé dont on a progressivement découvert la richesse et la complexité. Ce nouveau champ de connaissances né en situation coloniale mobilise, entre la fin du XIXe siècle et la décennie 1950, des énergies et des compétences nombreuses. Plus contrastée et moins monolithique qu'on ne pourrait le croire, l'historiographie de la première moitié du XXe siècle a contribué à produire des savoirs nouveaux sur l'Afrique, à expérimenter des modes d'enquête inédits, à promouvoir des chercheurs africains et à inventer ce que l'on nomme à l'époque l'"histoire indigène". Dans les dernières années de la domination, plusieurs historiens français et africains sont également conduits à revisiter de façon critique les modèles interprétatifs dominants et à poser les bases d'une histoire de l'Afrique enfin décolonisée.
