Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ainsi donc, d'interrogations en doutes et de doutes en constats personnels, en accusations, en introspection et procès intimes, je me suis laissé convaincre que les chemins de l' Afrique et ceux du reste du monde risquent de ne plus se croiser. Enfin, comment ne pas alors poser le problème en termes d'investigation sur ce qui nous place ailleurs, presque sur une autre planète. Ce livre, c'est cela: aider à comprendre sans détour et montrer sans restriction pourquoi notre chemin peut ainsi ne plus être le même que partout. Un regard honnête, fait de dénonciations ; une peinture franche de la réalité de tous nos travers.

Book excerpt: Les regards éclairés de prestigieux intellectuels africains sur le continent et ses perspectives. En ce début de siècle, l'Afrique apparaît comme l'un des théâtres principaux où se jouera l'avenir de la planète. Pour ses habitants et ses diasporas – tous ceux qui pendant longtemps ont été pris dans les rets du regard conquérant d'autrui –, le moment est propice de relancer le projet d'une pensée critique, confiante en sa propre parole, capable d'anticiper et de créer des chemins nouveaux à la mesure des défis de notre époque. Il nous a semblé qu'il fallait inventer une plate-forme libre, qui favorisât l'énonciation d'une parole plurielle, ouverte sur le large. C'est pour cette raison que s'est tenue du 28 au 31 octobre 2016 à Dakar et à Saint-Louis-du-Sénégal la première édition des Ateliers de la pensée. Une trentaine d'intellectuels et d'artistes du Continent et de ses diasporas se sont réunis pour réfléchir sur le présent et les devenirs d'une Afrique au cœur des transformations du monde contemporain. Leurs textes, présentés dans cet ouvrage, traitent de questions liées à la décolonialité, à l'élaboration d'utopies sociales, à la condition planétaire de la question africaine, à la quête de nouvelles formes de production du politique, de l'économique et du social, à l'articulation de l'universel et du singulier, à la littérature et à l'art, à la reconstruction de l'estime de soi, à la pensée de l'en-commun... Des regards croisés qui éclairent d'un jour nouveau les enjeux d'une Afrique en pleine mutation, ouverte à l'univers de la pluralité et des larges. Ce livre est un appel général et pressant à reprendre de vieux combats jamais clos et à en engager d'autres qu'appellent les temps nouveaux. Achille Mbembe et Felwine Sarr

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Book excerpt: SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Download or read book In Search of Africa s written by Souleymane Bachir Diagne and published by Polity. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book by two leading scholars of Africa examines a series of issues that are central to the question of the postcolonial. The postcolonial paradigm, and the more recent decolonial paradigm, raise the issue of the universal: is the postcolonial the first phase of a new universalism, one which would be truly universal because it would be fully inclusive, or is it on the contrary the denial of all universalism, the triumph of the particular and of fragmentation? In addressing this issue Diagne and Amselle also tackle many related themes, such as the concepts of race, culture and identity, the role of languages in philosophy as practised in different cultural areas, the various conceptions of Islam, especially in West Africa, and the outlines of an Africa which can be thought of at the same time as singular and as plural. Each thinker looks back at his writings on these themes, comparing and contrasting them with those of his interlocutor. While Amselle seeks to expose the essentialist and culturalist logics that might underlie postcolonial and decolonial thought, Diagne consistently refuses to adopt the trappings of the Afrocentrist and particularist thinker. He argues instead for a total decentring of all thought, one that rejects all ‘centrisms’ and highlights instead branchings and connections, transfers, analogies and reciprocal influences between cultural places and intellectual fields that may be distant but are not distinct in space and time. This volume is a timely contribution to current debates on the postcolonial question and its new decolonial form. It will be of great interest to students and scholars in a variety of fields, from African studies and Black studies to philosophy, anthropology, sociology and cultural studies, as well as to anyone interested in the debates around postcolonial studies and decolonial thought

Download or read book Africa s Moment written by Jean-Michel Severino and published by Polity. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st century will be the century of Africa. This continent was once seen as empty, rural, animist, poor, and forgotten by the world. Now, fifty years after independence, it is full to bursting, urban and monotheist. If poverty and violence are still rampant, economic growth has taken off again and a middle class is developing. Africa will hold a central place in the big issues facing the world today. If it once made a ‘false start’, here it is back again – in the fast lane. The West has missed the turnaround of a continent that will no longer wait for us. How can we best understand it? Demography, economics, politics, diplomacy, cultures and religions – this book presents the different facets of this new Africa, which will soon have a billion people, at the mid point of the most rapid population boom that humanity has ever known. Without ignoring the risks of its metamorphosis, it brings to light the forces and hopes that Africa harbors.
