Book excerpt: ...Ce travail très documenté se veut simple contribution, simple point de départ pour investir et ouvrir l'avenir. Le propos de Ki-Zerbo est donc double. Loin de rester statique, son autopsie du passé africain s'articule sur le projet collectif de l'avenir d'un continent pour en orienter l'évolution et en maîtriser le cours. Souci qui amène l'auteur à définir la seconde signification de son projet en des termes aussi vifs qu'imagés : " C'est une bouteille à la mer, avec l'espoir que son message sera recueilli surtout par les jeunes et contribuera à dessiner en traits authentiques le visage si peu connu, si méconnu, de l'Afrique d'hier, fournissant ainsi les bases d'une plus saine approche et d'une plus farouche détermination pour bâtir celle de demain ". Afrique d'hier, Afrique d'aujourd'hui, Afrique de demain : Ki-Zerbo les présente, tout au long de l'ouvrage, dans leur continuum non exempt de crises et de cassures, mais indissolublement liées... C'est un précieux outil de référence et de travail ; au langage simple ; facile à manipuler, qui aidera certainement de nombreux lycéens, étudiants, professeurs et tous ceux qui, en Afrique et en dehors d'Afrique, veulent connaître ce continent. J.P N'Diaye Jeune Afrique Ce volumineux ouvrage est le résultat de plus de dix années de travaux. Qualifié de " vigoureux " par le professeur Fernand Braudel, qui l'a amicalement préfacé, ce texte est le premier, dans lequel un historien africain traite de l'histoire du continent noir dans son ensemble... Sans verser dans les excès de certaines études historiques contemporaines, que leur ardeur anticolonialiste apparente étroitement au pamphlet, c'est en militant pourtant que Joseph Ki-Zerbo a conçu son travail, pensant, à juste titre, que " la vision du passé peut nous aider à mieux concevoir le panafricanisme "... En tout état de cause, le grand public appréciera la clarté d'un ensemble au sein duquel se distinguent les pages consacrées par Joseph Ki-Zerbo aux " problèmes africains d'aujourd'hui ", intéressante mise au point d'un homme représentatif d'une certaine élite intellectuelle africaine, soucieuse de définir sur de nouvelles bases les rapports entre l'Afrique et les anciennes puissances coloniales. Quant aux experts, ils ne manqueront pas de rendre un hommage mérité aux conceptions personnelles de l'auteur, concernant la méthodologie historique et les traditions orales... Ph. D. Le Monde

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quinze historiens africains, actuellement en poste dans onze universités d'Afrique francophone, se sont réunis pour confronter leur regard sur les grandes mutations contemporaines des sociétés africaines. Un historien africain leur répond d'Amérique. Deux constats majeurs s'imposent : d'une part la permanence des interrogations sur continuité-héritage-rupture par rapport à la colonisation, de l'autre l'ancrage des préoccupations historiques dans le temps présent, celui de la démocratisation laborieuse et des difficultés économiques. Trois thèmes s'entrecroisent : l'héritage des structures et les nécessaires innovations, les groupes de pression et la réinterprétation du politique, les diasporas et les réseaux transculturels et transsociaux. Tous les textes sont sous-tendus par la même volonté de mettre à contribution le passé pour comprendre le présent. Ces échanges témoignent du dynamisme des recherches en Afrique, masqué en partie par la difficulté de leur diffusion. Le laboratoire SEDET de l'Université Paris-VII Denis Diderot a voulu aider à y remédier.

Download or read book Voicing the Voiceless written by Walter Gam and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the subalterns, also known as the history of the voiceless, took currency in the early 1980s in South East Asia and has been dominated by scholars from that region. Despite its popularity, the history of the voiceless has not gained the attention it deserves in Cameroon historiography. In other parts of Africa and beyond this type of history has already taken root and animated scholarly production and debate. Cameroon history has been replete with studies that focus mostly on political history and the actions and intentions of top politicians of the day, with scant regard for the historical importance of the everyday life of ordinary Cameroonians as makers and breakers. This book takes a bold step in the direction of subaltern studies in Cameroon, and makes a clarion call for the institutionalization of voicing the voiceless. Nkwi - innovative and stimulating in his blend of history and ethnography of the everyday - offers fresh insights into the contextual understandings of subaltern Cameroon between 1958 and 2009. This is a welcome contribution to closing gaps in social history, from a leader amongst a budding new generation of historians of Cameroon and Africa.
Download or read book Global Taxation written by Philipp Genschel and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Taxation investigates the global transition to modern taxation from the 18th century to today. Modern taxation refers to the broad-based tax instruments that allowed for the emergence of big government as we know it today, including, most prominently, income taxes and general consumption taxes. The volume draws on a new historical dataset of tax introduction worldwide to map the global spread of modern taxes descriptively and to explore its correlates analytically. It makes four contributions to the literature. First, it corrects a pervasive Western bias in historical political economy and fiscal sociology. Most of this literature focuses heavily on the tax policy of advanced democracies in Europe. The chapters of this volume explore how far Western theories and insights travel to non-Western contexts. Second, the volume mitigates a recency bias in much of the macro-quantitative literature in comparative political economy and public finance. The chapters investigate whether insights travel across time from recent to more distant periods of observation. Third, the volume compensates for the substantive preoccupation of extant research with the personal income tax and the VAT by extending the analysis to other important tax instruments: the corporate income tax, the inheritance tax, non-VAT sales taxes, and social security contributions. Finally, the volume goes beyond the prevalent methodological nationalism in fiscal sociology and comparative political economy. It shows that non-sovereign tax introductions were common in colonial and imperial settings and compares analytically how the logic of these non-sovereign introductions differed from sovereign ones.

Download or read book Africa in the United NationsSystem 1945 2005 written by Issaka K. Souare and published by Adonis & Abbey Publishers Ltd. This book was released on 2006-05-31 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though there have been numerous studies on the United Nations, only a few have dealt comprehensively with Africa's relations with the world body. This book attempts to fill this lacuna by providing a systematic assessment of Africa's relationship with the World body, from its foundation in 1945 to its sixtieth anniversary in 2005. The premise of the book's argument is that to properly understand Africa's current relationship with the UN, it is necessary to first understand the history and theoretical underpinnings behind the formation of the world body, including the expectations and motives of the different stakeholders. The book shows that there have been some real successes in Africa's relationship with the world body - such as the joint efforts against the Apartheid regime in South Africa - as well as real failures - such as in the genocide in Rwanda. Based on this, it concludes that Africa's relationship with the United Nations has worked for the most part, and will work even better, if Africa sees its partnership with the UN as complementary to it own efforts, projects and initiatives rather than something to depend on.
Download or read book Folktales from the Moose of Burkina Faso written by Alain-Joseph Sissao and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moogo, the region of the Moose known as Mossi in ancient literatureóoccupies the entire central zone of Burkina Faso. It is divided into several kingdoms, the principal one comprising todayís capital of Ouagadougou. Along with the singing griots, the evening storytellers pass on the ancestral word during the evening gatherings where they provide the group with models to follow. The folktale is the most appropriate form for teaching young children to express themselves, to structure their thoughts, and to reason. The tales portraying familiar animals will be reserved for the group of youngest children. The legendary gluttony and foolishness of Mba-KatrÈ, the hyena, in contrast with the cunning and finesse of Mba-So'mba, the hare, will interest above all children from 10 to 12 years of age. The stories describing the origin of things, the reason for various social taboos, the legitimacy of social functions and structures, as well character flaws that need correcting, are reserved as a priority for adolescents.
Download or read book Land Politics written by Lauren Honig and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land Politics examines the struggle to control land in Africa through the lens of land titling in Zambia and Senegal. Contrary to standard wisdom portraying titling as an inevitable product of economic development, Lauren Honig traces its distinctly political logic and shows how informality is maintained by local actors. The book's analysis focuses on chiefs, customary institutions, and citizens, revealing that the strength of these institutions and an individual's position within them impact the expansion of state authority over land rights. Honig explores common subnational patterns within the two very different countries to highlight the important effects of local institutions, not the state's capacity or priorities alone, on state building outcomes. Drawing on evidence from national land titling records, qualitative case studies, interviews, and surveys, this book contributes new insights into the persistence of institutional legacies and the political determinants of property rights.
