Download or read book Urban Dreams written by Claudia Roth and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-03-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claudia Roth's work on Bobo-Dioulasso, a city of half a million residents in Burkina Faso, provides uniquely detailed insight into the evolving life-world of a West African urban population in one of the poorest countries in the world. Closely documenting the livelihood strategies of members of various neighbourhoods, Roth’s work calls into question established notions of “the African family” as a solidary network, documents changing marriage and kinship relations under the impact of a persistent economic crisis, and explores the increasingly precarious social status of young women and men.
Download or read book La ville de Bobo Dioulasso au Burkina Faso Urbanit et appartenances en Afrique de l Ouest written by WERTHMANN Katja et SANOGO Mamadou Lamine (sous la direction de) and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2013-02-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toute étude sur l’urbanisation et l’urbanité doit tenir compte du fait qu’aucune ville ne ressemble à une autre. La capitale Ouagadougou et la seconde ville du Burkina Faso, Bobo-Dioulasso, se distinguent l’une de l’autre par leur histoire, leur composition démographique, leur urbanisme, leurs ressources économiques, leurs éléments socioculturels, etc. Leurs habitants s’identifient en tant que « Ouagalais » ou « Bobolais ». Mais qui sont exactement ces « Bobolais » ? Se caractériser soi-même comme Bobolais ou bien être caractérisé comme tel par d’autres est un élément d’identité urbaine. Bobo-Dioulasso forme un point de jonction dans un réseau ancien de voies commerciales. Pendant la colonisation, la ville s’est transformée en important centre économique d’Afrique Occidentale Française. Au moment de son indépendance, elle était une métropole moderne qui attirait de nombreuses populations des pays avoisinants. Depuis l’ère coloniale, administrateurs, missionnaires, voyageurs et autres observateurs ont mené des recherches dans la région de Bobo-Dioulasso. Si de nombreuses études ont déjà été réalisées ou consacrées à Bobo-Dioulasso dans diverses disciplines, jusqu’à présent elles faisaient rarement référence les unes aux autres. Cet ouvrage collectif sur Bobo-Dioulasso y remédie en réunissant les contributions d’ethnologues, d’historiens, de linguistes et d’économistes. Ces contributions se penchent sur la place historique et économique de Bobo-Dioulasso dans la région, sur les transformations coloniales et postcoloniales, ainsi que sur certaines catégories ou groupes sociaux. Elles montrent que l’urbanité et l’appartenance sont des processus dynamiques dans lesquels divers éléments sont déterminants selon la situation sociale ou historique. Katja Werthmann est professeur au Département des Études africaines à l’Université de Leipzig (Allemagne). Mamadou Lamine Sanogo est directeur de l’Institut des Sciences des Sociétés (INSS) du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique et Technologique (CNRST), à Ouagadougou.

Download or read book The Sex Thieves written by Julien Bonhomme and published by Hau. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While working in Africa, anthropologist Julien Bonhomme encountered an astonishing phenomenon: people being accused of stealing or shrinking the genitals of strangers on the simple occasion of a handshake on the street. As he soon discovered, these accusations can have dramatic outcomes: the "sex thieves" are often targeted by large crowds and publicly lynched. Moreover, such rumors are an extremely widespread practice, having affected almost half of the African continent since the 1970s. In this book, Bonhomme examines the story of the "penis snatcher," asking larger questions about how to account for such a phenomenon--unique in its spatial and temporal scale--without falling prey to the cliché of Africa as an exotic other. Bonhomme argues that the public belief in sex thieves cannot be considered a superstition or form of mass hysteria. Rather, he brings to light multiple factors that explain the rumor's success and shows how the cultural dynamic can operate on a vast scale. Analyzing the rumor on both transnational and local levels, he demonstrates how it arises from the ambiguities and dangers of anonymity, and thus that it reveals an occult flipside to everyday social interaction. Altogether, this book provides both richly ethnographic and theoretical understandings of urban sociality and the dynamics of human communication in contemporary Africa and beyond.
Download or read book Latino Truck Driver Trade written by Jacobo Schifter and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino Truck Driver Trade: Sex and HIV In Central America uncovers the incredible danger that truck drivers put themselves in by risking HIV infection and why Latin sexual culture does not always define men who participate in sexual acts with other men as "homosexual." Exploring the concept of "machismo" and why truck drivers act very "manly" (to avoid being teased or being made fun of) through interviews with truck drivers, this detailed account gives insight into how friends pressure others to perform sexual acts, drink alcohol, and take drugs in order to "fit in""--Jacket.
Download or read book Real Governance and Practical Norms in Sub Saharan Africa written by Tom De Herdt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although international development discourse considers the state as a crucial development actor, there remains a significant discrepancy between the official norms of the state and public services and the actual practices of political elites and civil servants. This text interrogates the variety of ways in which state policies and legal norms have been translated into the set of practical norms which make up real governance in sub-Saharan Africa. It argues that the concept of practical norms is an appropriate tool for an ethnographic investigation of public bureaucracies, interactions between civil servants and users, and the daily functioning of the state in Africa. It demonstrates that practical norms are usually different from official norms, complementing, bypassing and even contradicting them. In addition, it explores the positive and negative effects of different aspects of this ‘real governance’. This text will be of key interest to academics, students and researchers in the fields of development, political science, anthropology and development studies, African studies, international comparative studies, implementation studies, and public policy.

Download or read book Dimensions of Locality written by Georg Stauth and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a world religion Islam is based on a highly abstract and absolute notion of the transcendent, which its followers establish and celebrate, in a seemingly contradictory fashion, at very specific sites: Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, and in the vast and complex landscapes of mosques and Muslim saints' shrines around the world. Sacred locality has thus become a paradigm for the relationship between the human and the transcendent, a model for urban planning, regional networks, imaginary spaces, and spiritual hierarchies alike. This importance of saintly places has, however, become increasingly complicated and troubled by reformist currents within Islam, on the one hand, and the emergence of modern archeology and anthropology, on the other. While they have often tended to posit the local in opposition to the universal, in this volume islamologists, anthropologists, and sociologists offer new ways of thinking about the local, the place, and the conceptual landscapes and spaces of saints.
Download or read book Transcultural Bodies written by Ylva Hernlund and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-07 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female "circumcision" or, more precisely, female genital cutting (FGC), remains an important cultural practice in many African countries, often serving as a coming-of-age ritual. It is also a practice that has generated international dispute and continues to be at the center of debates over women's rights, the limits of cultural pluralism, the balance of power between local cultures, international human rights, and feminist activism. In our increasingly globalized world, these practices have also begun immigrating to other nations, where transnational complexities vex debates about how to resolve the issue. Bringing together thirteen essays, Transcultural Bodies provides an ethnographically rich exploration of FGC among African diasporas in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Contributors analyze changes in ideologies of gender and sexuality in immigrant communities, the frequent marginalization of African women's voices in debates over FGC, and controversies over legislation restricting the practice in immigrant populations.
