Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans cet ouvrage, qui est la somme d'une expérience théorique d'une vingtaine d'années où sont en question, dans une problématique des enjeux, la philosophie, la politique et les idéologies, l'auteur, à partir de dix textes relatifs, entre autres, à la problématique de la philosophie africaine, à la dialectique marxiste, à Amilcar Cabral, aux positions de Cheikh Anta Diop sur le matérialisme historique, à la démocratie en Afrique... fait le procès lucide et sans complaisance des pratiques, des contradictions, des conflits, des illusions et des systèmes de pensée qui ont eu pour cadre le Sénégal, l'Afrique et le reste du monde. Ces textes rédigés entre 1980 et 2003 nous interpellent, peut-être aujourd'hui encore plus qu'hier, sur les considérations et les conflits théoriques caractérisés, d'une part, par l'ascension et le triomphe momentané du néolibéralisme et, d'autre part, par la succession des champs politico-idéologiques avec leurs dominants aspirant à l'hégémonie et leurs dominés contestant cette hégémonie.
Download or read book Forbidden Grounds written by Richard A. Epstein and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This controversial book presents a powerful argument for the repeal of anti-discrimination laws within the workplace. These laws--frequently justified as a means to protect individuals from race, sex, age, and disability discrimination--have been widely accepted by liberals and conservatives alike since the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and are today deeply ingrained in our legal culture. Richard Epstein demonstrates that these laws set one group against another, impose limits on freedom of choice, undermine standards of merit and achievement, unleash bureaucratic excesses, mandate inefficient employment practices, and cause far more invidious discrimination than they prevent. Epstein urges a return to the common law principles of individual autonomy that permit all persons to improve their position through trade, contract, and bargain, free of government constraint. He advances both theoretical and empirical arguments to show that competitive markets outperform the current system of centralized control over labor markets. Forbidden Grounds has a broad philosophical, economic, and historical sweep. Epstein offers novel explanations for the rational use of discrimination, and he tests his theory against a historical backdrop that runs from the early Supreme Court decisions, such as Plessy v. Ferguson which legitimated Jim Crow, through the current controversies over race-norming and the 1991 Civil Rights Act. His discussion of sex discrimination contains a detailed examination of the laws on occupational qualifications, pensions, pregnancy, and sexual harassment. He also explains how the case for affirmative action is strengthened by the repeal of employment discrimination laws. He concludes the book by looking at the recent controversies regarding age and disability discrimination. Forbidden Grounds will capture the attention of lawyers, social scientists, policymakers, and employers, as well as all persons interested in the administration of this major

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book takes a closer look at the phenomenon of the 'opportunism' of minority cultures - in the Indian context, the Dalit and the Muslim - and suggests that this might be the consequence of nationalism itself, especially of postcolonial nationalisms. For it is nationalism, in fact, which produces the minority problem in the first place."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Karl Marx and the Classics written by John Milios and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: By exploring Marxian value theory and its relevance to present issues of economic analysis, such as the circuit of social capital, the quantity theory of money, instability and economic crises, and economic exploitation and its ideological disguise, this volume investigates the conceptual links between Marxian and Classical Political Economy. The book poses and discusses questions that have yet to be tackled thoroughly in the English-language Marxian literature, such as Marx's theoretical inconsistencies and the role of Engels as editor and "interpreter" of Marx's writings. In doing so, this excellent text provides a much-needed contemporary re-evaluation of the work of one of the world's most enduring writers.

Download or read book Figures crois es d intellectuels written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tout discours visant à appréhender les intellectuels constitue un défi majoré, pour peu qu'une telle tentative se trouve conduite par les membres de ce groupe d'appartenance. Par la pluralité de ses figures, de ses trajectoires, de ses postures et de ses lieux d'actions, l'intellectuel intervient dans l'espace public, lieu de débats et condition nécessaire pour son existence et ses activités. Qu'il appartienne à l'élite ou qu'il soit qualifié de populaire, l'intellectuel est un acteur, un sujet agissant par le biais de ses productions polymorphes fondées le plus souvent sur un savoir critique. Celles-ci ont en commun de porter sur l'orientation des sociétés concernées, d'intervenir dans la vie de la Cité. Dans quelle mesure des intellectuels appartenant à différentes traditions linguistiques ou aux mêmes traditions partagent-ils des repères épistémologiques analogues ? Quelles sont les incidences de la mondialisation sur leurs productions scientifiques ? Comment se positionnent-ils dans les différents espaces d'expérimentation parfois douloureuse de la démocratie ? Etre un intellectuel dans le domaine des sciences humaines et sociales, signifie-t-il détenir, sans en avoir le monopole, un rôle prépondérant au plan éthique dans l'exigence et l'intention de vérité, dans la posture critique, la pratique du dialogue et la reconnaissance de l'autre ? S'appuyant sur des recherches empiriques effectuées en Afrique, en Europe, en Asie, le livre propose de cerner diverses figures contemporaines d'intellectuels, leur rôle aussi bien dans la jonction de leurs sociétés avec le reste du monde, que dans les constructions abouties ou non d'une sphère autonome du pouvoir politique.
Download or read book Du missionnaire l anthropologue written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2012 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'engouement du public pour les écrits missionnaires, les journaux ou les récits de voyage alimente de nos jours toute une politique de réédition. Anthropologues et historiens découvrent ou redécouvrent avec un grand intérêt les ressources ethnohistoriques et ethnolinguistiques des journaux de bord tenus par les missionnaires européens ou indigènes, catéchistes ou évangélistes. répondant tantôt à la demande d'information de l'autorité institutionnelle de leur congrégation, tantôt à leur propre quête et curiosité. De la traduction de la Bible en langue vernaculaire à la production de traités savants sur la parenté ou la religion primitive, en passant par l'élaboration érudite de dictionnaires, de nombreux missionnaires ethnologues ont apporté une contribution majeure à l'émergence de la discipline ethnologique. A partir des années 1960, la consécration de l'anthropologie comme discipline universitaire et la professionnalisation du métier d'ethnologue ont amené les générations plus récentes à repenser les liens, les compromis ou les malentendus entre vocation religieuse et carrière d'ethnologue. Depuis lors s'est ouvert un vaste débat méthodologique entre historiens, anthropologues et missiologues. Les questions sur les rapports entre l'action missionnaire et l'action ethnologique demeurent nombreuses. Le cas de figure qu'incarne Michael Singleton, ancien missionnaire devenu ethnologue puis anthropologue formé par Sir Evans-Pritchard, a semblé aux éditeurs de ce livre une occasion idéale pour revenir sur ce sujet complexe. C'est en son hommage que sont publiées ici un ensemble de contributions présentées lors d'un colloque, tenu à Louvain-la-Neuve, en mars 2005, et qui ont été abondamment retravaillées. L'ouvrage se veut une imitation à poursuivre la réflexion à la lumière de cas souvent très différents mais complémentaires.

Download or read book Marxism and Decolonization in the 21st Century written by Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marxism and Decolonization in the 21st Century is a ground-breaking work that highlights the resurgence and insurgence of Marxism and decolonization, and the ways in which decolonization and decoloniality are grounded in the contributions of Black Marxism, the Radical Black tradition, and anti-colonial liberation traditions. Featuring leading and young scholars and activists, this book is a practical scholarly intervention that shows how democratic Marxism and decoloniality might converge to provoke planetary decolonization in the 21st century. At the centre of this process, enabled by both increasing human entanglements and the resilience of racism, the volume's contributors analyse converging forces of anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, anti-patriarchy, anti-sexism, Indigenous People’s movements, eco-feminist formations, and intellectual movements levelled against Eurocentrism. This book will be of great interest to students, scholars, and intellectuals interested in Marxism, decolonization, and transnational activism.
