Download or read book African Studies in Geography from Below written by Ben Arrous and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of international relations (inter-state, indeed), territorial ideologies, the logic of autochthony and its ramifications, ethnic cleansing, are all hinged at different levels upon the same pseudo-fact: to every society a closed and exclusive territory demarcated by fixed and linear borders. This way of thinking, totally foreign to African societies for a long time, has generated today more contradictions than it can ever solve. The authors of this book make a clear distinction between territory formation "from the top" as being a deliberate political project, and its formation "from below" as being a more diffused historical process which is determined by the scheme of antagonisms and compromises between social forces. In lieu of a stark opposition between "the top" and "below", the authors unveil the interdependence and mutual influence which form the basis of a dual system within which legal formation -by the colonial authorities first, then by the postcolonial one- is confronted with a host of subaltern spatial dynamics, neglecting thereby the legitimacy which only them can provide. As an essential read for anyone who is interested in the relationship between knowledge and power, this book offers stimulating perspectives on the issue of African unity and its epistemological and political challenges. It renews profoundly our approaches to human security, citizenship, borders and mobility. Contributions are in English and in French.
Download or read book L Afrique des associations written by Momar Coumba Diop and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Face aux dérives de la démocratie représentative et aux abus des pouvoirs totalitaires, la voie associative propose, et souvent met en œuvre, des solutions innovantes, tant au niveau du quotidien le plus modeste que des grandes questions sociales. Son importance croissante, sa position centrale dans bien des domaines comme la santé, l'environnement, le développement et la culture en font le chemin privilégié d'expression de la parole et d'appropriation de l'action. Elle n'est cependant connue que de façon assez superficielle. L'ambition de cet ouvrage, conçu lors d'une rencontre internationale tenue à Bamako, n'est pas seulement de revisiter la question du " développement ", à travers les contraintes du terrain, en retenant comme points d'entrée les pratiques associatives et les stratégies identitaires. Elle est aussi d'établir un pont entre les associations et le monde universitaire en vue de proposer un éclairage novateur dans une perspective d'action innovante. Les rôles fondamentaux, mais aussi les insuffisances des associations sont mis en lumière dans ce livre : ferment pour le changement social, mode privilégié d'articulation entre les migrants et leurs pays d'origine, mais aussi caution des illusions de la " participation communautaire ", suspicion de dérives financières, voire de captation de l'aide internationale. A travers la diversité des questions étudiées - dont la très grande partie concerne le continent africain (d'où le titre de cet ouvrage), mais traite aussi par exemple des associations de Vietnamiens en Europe -, des contributeurs, africains et européens, proposent des connaissances mais suscitent aussi des questionnements sur les associations et les " associatifs ". Elaboré par des chercheurs de générations, de spécialités et de nationalités différentes, l'ouvrage permet au lecteur de mieux appréhender un domaine mouvant, complexe et extrêmement vivant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today the procedural mechanisms of urban studies are working to interpret new urban paradigms that a century ago were largely absent in a great many cities around the world. African cities are becoming the exemplars for the emergence of new urban formations that are of great interest to many researchers working in the social sciences. This interest has brought into critical light how new urban agglomerations, arrangements, and institutions are emerging from the inadequacies of the public sector, proposing a modernizing cultural revision and a rearrangement of many of the essential elements of familial identification and authority. Out of these transformations, many of which are improvisatory, new types of relations and exchanges, survival and subsistence, forms of solidarity and resistance are produced. It is in the polymorphous and apparently chaotic logic of the postcolonial city that we may find the signs and new codes of expression of new urban identities in formation. Under Siege: Four African Cities underlines a central paradox that seems to rule the view of African cities, namely their inherent dynamism and obsolescence, and engages different kinds of understanding of subjectivity and the cultural, political, social sphere of present day African urban conditions.

This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terme promotion de la santé en Afrique, près de 30 ans après l'adoption de la Charte d'Ottawa, continue d'avoir des connotations complètement hors du sens que lui confère cette charte. Cela n'est pas étonnant quand on sait que la notion de santé dans ce contexte africain équivaut à la lutte contre la maladie à travers les soins de santé dispensés par des professionnels de la santé dans des formations sanitaires et les hôpitaux. L'évolution que connait le continent depuis quelques décennies est de donner un peu plus de place à la communauté à travers les relais communautaires dans une participation communautaire vidée de son contenu, car le pouvoir n'est jamais passé entre les mains des communautés.C'est au vu de tout ceci que le présent ouvrage à sa raison d'être pour expliquer les fondements de l'autonomisation communautaire et de la promotion de la santé avec leur importance pour la région africaine en proie aux mauvais indicateurs de santé comparativement aux autres régions du monde.
